I’m Pam Laricchia and I hope you enjoyed my session at the Canadian Online Homeschool Conference 2022, Helping Kids Find Their Passion.
First, we explore the essential nature of curiosity and the importance of quitting things in pursuit of our passions. Then we dive into the world of multipotentialites and their superpowers—do we really have only one true calling? Finally, and maybe most important of all, are you pursuing your interests and passions alongside your kids? I share why that’s so important and how to get started!
