Episode 219: Getting Out of the House Is Hard. Plus, Bilingual Educator Keli Garcia Allen

Episode notes

Biz and Theresa wonder why it is so hard to get out of the house with kids. Oh, thats right…because everything. You’d think that after at least a few years, all the people in your house who need to get out of the house would accept that this is an event that happens and yet, when when you ask the 3 year old to get his shoes there is a very good chance he will return with rocks. Could it be that house-leaving related stress could be the seed for all parenting stress? Plus Biz gets the facts, Theresa is getting really good at this and we talk to Keli Garcia Allen about raising bilingual children.

You can check out some of Keli’s thoughts about raising children in a bilingual household and learn more about the language learning app on the Learn Safari website.
