S2, Ep29: Social Emotional Learning - The Key to Raising Whole Humans

In this episode, we dive into the messy, meaningful world of social-emotional learning (SEL) and what it actually looks like in a real-life, progressive homeschool. We’re not talking about boxed kindness worksheets or vague “be nice” mantras. This is about embedding emotional growth, empathy, and self-regulation into everyday moments. We share practical examples, helpful resources, and why SEL isn’t fluff… it’s foundational. Whether you’ve got littles just learning to name their feelings or teens navigating boundaries and big decisions, there’s something here for you.

Let's continue the conversation on Patreon! We host live meet-ups 4x/month and can't wait to meet you. Plus, in September, our podcast book club will be shifting to a live, interactive format on Patreon. Join here: https://bit.ly/3X5R0gI Use code FTP90 for 90% of your first month!
