Time is such a powerful tool to use! I know it’s hard to think of it as a tool, because most of us don’t use this tool efficiently or effectively. Time can be your best friend or your worst enemy, depending on the side that you’re on! But what if I told you that time can be your greatest asset in language learning for your child, if you know how to use it correctly? Listen to today’s episode as I do over how time blocking your day will help your child learn language faster.

I see you, parents out there, you have so many goals and things that you want to do with your kids, and then at the end of the day you feel like you got nothing done all day.
You are constantly living in the deficit of time and always saying that you don’t have enough time to do anything- the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, the groceries, the language practice with your kids… you are constantly losing hours each day and it feels like you are in a never ending loop.
Today we’re going to talk about 3 ways to become time rich so that you can do more of what you love, and still accomplish what needs to get done as well.
