281. Deep Meaning = Depth Learning

Do you ever wonder why some lessons stick and others fade away? In this episode, we explore the concept of deep meaning—the essential ingredient behind lasting, joyful learning. When kids connect personally with what they're learning, they move beyond memorization into true expertise. We unpack the difference between mastery and meaning, share real-life examples from homeschooling life (yes, video games and comic books count!), and offer practical questions you can ask to build more meaningful learning moments at home.Listen now to discover how to help your kids not just think, but care about what they're learning.Resources:Check out Julie’s new author website: juliebogartwriter.com!Purchase Julie’s new book, Help!
