SUMMARY
You’ve heard it before—maybe from a relative, a neighbor, or that stranger in the grocery store: Aren’t you sheltering your kids too much?
In this eye-opening episode, Christy-Faith takes a brave look at the myth that homeschooling is an overprotective, fear-based choice. From rising mental health risks to school culture realities, she lays out the truth most people are too afraid to say out loud—and why choosing to homeschool might actually be the most courageous, world-preparing decision a parent can make.
Spoiler: Protecting your child isn’t the same as bubble-wrapping them. It’s building a foundation they don’t have to recover from.
