    Dear MWM, Curious George here (LOL)! I am curious to know how you would suggest homeschooling a child that lacks any ambition or drive to do school work or learn new things at least in a tradition way. There are students that would prefer to do nothing most of the time and as little as possible some of the time. Would homeschooling be the best fit for this kind of student? What kind of super hero do their parents need to be? Inquiring minds want to know or should I say curious. Subscribe.Listen.Share. IG:@millionwordmom

    Dear MWM: How do I explain an absent parent to my child?

    Dear MWM, I really enjoy your podcast. It often does cause "emotional decompression" with some of the things you say; however, I am still buckled in and recently hit a bit of turbulence on my parenting journey. I am currently parenting my 10 year old daughter by myself. She sees her father on occasion but not consistently. We don't live around a lot of family and she is starting to ask why her dad doesn't come and see her or pick her up more often. She is questioning her importance to him. How would you suggest I address this with my daughter? Subscribe.Listen.Share. IG: @millionwordmom
