This episode of the Dollars and Sense Show podcast is part 1 of a two-part workshop Carol Topp presented at the Great Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati last year titled, “Were Not Raising Children, We’re Raising Grown Ups.”
Carol discusses the topic of sheltering our children too much and for too long so that they are ill equipped for adult life.
