030 End of School Year Reflection: What to do When Things Aren't Working

❓When your close friends or family question your choice to educate your children at home, do you take it deeply personally?
❓When asked why you homeschool, do you stumble for a reasonably articulate and educated answer to convince them of your choice?
❓Do you find other people’s fears about homeschooling starting to transfer to your thinking?

Educating our children at home is an important responsibility that can’t be taken lightly. We can’t do it without the support of our close friends and extended family. But, if you’ve made the decision to educate your children at home, more than likely, you’ve met resistance from those who know and love you and your children. Join me in conversation with Tara Hills as we share options to respond so you can continue homeschooling without being affected by the fears and doubts of others.

In this conversation, we’ll discuss:
✅ why hearing disapproving opinions seems so hurtful
✅ the importance of knowing your “why” for educating your children at home
✅ why its valuable to find a community of like-minded homeschooling parents

028 Are you Having Fun? How a Change of Attitude Can Affect Your Home Education Experience

⁉️ Are you overwhelmed by the curriculum options available?
⁉️ You’re not sure where to start!
⁉️ And with many homeschool conferences being online, do you fear you won’t have the opportunity to learn about curriculums available

When I started educating my children at home I used the curriculum a generous friend passed on to me. How was I to know it would be so disastrous for us?! My kinesthetic boy just wanted to move around, explore and experiment. My reading/ writing son just wanted to be left alone to read what interested him, while my visual-learning son preferred to watch a movie or look at the pictures of trade magazines to learn about electronics. And I had my children tied to a chair (sometimes literally!) listening to me jabber on, reading textbooks and filling in worksheets. None of us were happy and they weren’t learning. Can you relate?!
Join our encouraging discussion as we explore curriculum options best suited to your child and his learning style.

We’ll discuss:
✅ VARK: the four learning styles – Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, Kinesthetic, and how to determine what best describes your child’s learning style
✅ Specific curriculum options that best suit each of your children

024 Creating a Home Where Everyone Wants to Learn, Grow and Dream

⁉️ Are you craving to get out and socialize, quickly jumping at opportunities as they become available for you and your children?
⁉️ Or, are you feeling too cautious about re-joining activities as uncertainty continues to linger?
⁉️ Let’s talk about healthy boundaries as you look forward with cautious optimism

No doubt, we’re all craving more social interactions. It seems our children have missed out on some opportunities in the past two years. So, as restrictions are lifting and more activities become available, you may be tempted to make up for lost time .. every event, co-op, field trip, class can look so exciting! But wait! Before you sign up for one more experience for your child, let’s plan responsibly with cautious optimism.

We’ll discuss:
✅ how we’re feeling about the last two years [I’d love to hear from you!] – what we love, what definitely has to change
✅ how to choose which activities to sign up for and pitfalls to avoid
✅ how we’re feeling about the future – what are you looking forward to?

023 Things Are Opening Up, Activities Are Becoming Available: What to Look for as You Move Forward

⁉️ Do you hear about “discovering your children’s strengths” by providing free, unstructured time for your children to explore their interests but all they want to do is play video games?
⁉️ Are many of your family arguments about video games, cell phone use, or too much time spent online?
⁉️ Would you say your child is addicted to his device?

As homeschoolers, we have a lot of time with our children. Ideally, our children would use their afternoons to explore their interests, strengths, and passions but many of our children just want to play video games. No doubt this causes arguments in many families. And some of us would say our children are addicted to their devices. But what do you do?

Let’s discuss:
✅ how to set some healthy boundaries for your child’s video game use
✅ how to get him off his device without a huge argument
✅ resources and support for you and your family to deal with this ever-growing issue
