Botkin Family Webinar on Education :: Watch the Video

Watch the video invitation here!

Starting September 3, the Botkin family will be hosting a 7-week webinar on educating children for leadership in the real world. Featuring all seven Botkin children, as well as Geoffrey and Victoria, they’ll be taking on the tough questions: What do you do if your child has a special gifting? How should we teach our sons and daughters marketable skills? How do we teach them to navigate the real world without becoming like the world? How do we find the best resources without breaking the bank? How do we prevent homeschool dropouts? What constitutes “success,” and how do we help our children achieve it? What should we do about higher education? And how do we teach our children well about things we don’t know ourselves?It’s $39 to sign up for this weekly whole-family event, running every Tuesday evening from September 3 to October 15. Subscribers can submit live questions and get permanent access to the recorded sessions.
