Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! In this episode we are talking about a question we hear often from our listeners,  how do you know the difference between when your child is stuck because they don't get it, or is just acting lazy? How hard should you push them to keep trying in a given subject? We had a great conversation about these topics and we hope you feel encouraged by it! 

Before we begin we want to Thank Teaching Textbooks for helping to make the Smiling Homeschooler possible. We work with them, because we believe their curriculum is one of the best and helps more homeschoolers smile. Go support them, and check out a free trial over at teachingtextbooks.com. 

Also thank you to Homeschooling Today magazine for supporting what we do! They are another fantastic source of homeschooling encouragement, so please go subscribe to their magazine at homeschoolingtoday.com.

Have a great week and don't forget to smile!
