Habit Training Beyond Chores: Cultivating Virtue and Character in Your Homeschool – Jennifer Pepito

What’s the secret behind a thriving, peaceful homeschool? It might just be habit training! Join Cindy West and special guest Jennifer Pepito, author of Habits for a Sacred Home, as they discuss the power of establishing meaningful habits, fostering virtue, and modeling character for your children.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How Charlotte Mason-inspired habit training goes beyond daily chores to building lifelong values
• Practical ways to get started with habit training, even if you’re new or feeling overwhelmed
• Why parent modeling is KEY to your child’s success—and how to embrace imperfection with humility
• The connection between habit training, character growth, and cultivating independence in your kids

Jennifer shares real-life strategies, a list of simple starter habits (connection, eye contact, outdoor time, and more!), and the encouragement every homeschool mom needs.
