Ready to build real-world confidence?

While kids today spend hours in a virtual world, they’re often missing out on the simple, essential life skills they need in the real one.

In this episode, The Holistic Kids and Katie Kimball explore what life skills are—and how learning them early helps kids become independent, responsible, and ready for life’s challenges.
