MFZ - Is Homeschooling An Option During Covid For Your Family
Welcome to the Multi-FAMILY zone podcast, where business meets family. The hosts of the show, Julia and Gino Barbaro, have been married for over twenty years, and have six children. Julia homeschools the children, and recently became a marriage and life coach to help couples become better communicators and help enrich their lives. The couple is constantly asked about how they balance their entrepreneurial and real estate journey while raising their kids. The Multi-FAMILY zone was created to address these questions, along with a host of questions from the Jake and Gino community. In this week’s show, Julia and Gino share their experience with homeschooling their six children, their trials and tribulations, as well as their wonderful experience with having their kids learn at home. They ask the listeners some difficult questions and give them a framework on how to make this difficult decision whether to homeschool or send their kids to school during the current pandemic. The key to success is to always focus on what is best for your family and personal situation. Homeschooling may sound like the best option, but if it doesn’t fit into your schedule or if you think you do not have the ability to teach your kids, then it may not be right for you. Behaviors are belief driven, and I always had the belief and still do that my wife is the most qualified person to teach our kids. Most importantly, we want to impart confidence to our listeners that they can homeschool their kids. The fact that they listen to our show, which focuses on family and communication, shows me that you care deeply for your family and you have the conviction to do what is best, no matter how hard it is.
