I like playing Uno because all ages can play. Our library has an extensive amount of board games they lend out which is fun to try the game for a few weeks and send it back. I like mancala for a one on one game. We recently tried ticket to ride, it's a LONG game, but it ended up being pretty fun. We also have a competitive family so there are some games not allowed, Sorry is one of them 😂

You are wonderful.

In most disciplines, you’ve got to have the basics down to move forward doesn’t matter if its math or the constitution

What are you teaching them? Just memorizing things? The main issue people have with maths is not understanding why they're doing things but only how...

My issue is , spelling, how do we teach them how to spell in order to be able write 😑

True

Boooooooooo

We "met" through one of those conferences. Such a blessing!

I have been looking for something like this! Thank u.

This is such a beautiful idea!!

I would love the link to this, but I don't see it in the description. Did I miss it?

This would silo you off into an echo chamber. It’s important to be around all different types of people and lifestyle as long as they are not detrimental to the safety of your children. I can’t imagine anything more boring than having my social circle only be other homeschool families.

No make-up, no hair, don't care! HAHAHA sounds like a song in the making 😍Homeschool Super Heroes is an excellent conference!

We're on our home stretch of homeschooling (sadly) but my high schooler is still struggling with spelling. When you mention "spelling bootcamp" what would you recommend we use to give him confidence? He literally freezes when he has to spell a word. But his imagination is incredible so if he's writing a story, I will type it for him; I hired a tutor for the past 1.5 years and he has made great strides but still having issues. I'm willing to do what it takes to build his confidence because in his mind it's holding him back from his future with work. Thanks so much!

I have one of those writing resistant boys, and this is all such great advice! Thank you! Going to binge watch your whole KZfaq channel now. 🤣

I would love you b my mentor my daughter is going to b a 4 grader this August

Super helpful video! It makes so much sense that I don’t know how I didn’t realize that my kids need to see the creativity before they can do the creativity!

My dream

Thanks

Definitely going to try this

Great ideas

Just a question, but if you homeschool them to become writers, don’t you think that when the naturally rebel as teenagers, they will rebel against all of that?

I loved this video! Can you please do an in-depth review through the pocket book and share other ideas that a pocket book would work well with?

“Look at the clouds” 😂 I will try that next time at our house!

Although yes, it is possible, it really depends on the parent. For example, my cousin does home schooling (she would be in grade 8) and last i checked she is behind on maths (last i checked she didn't even know what it meant to square a number or how to read the number 40075 if it doesn't have a comma)

I would love to homeschool. But how if both our jobs are fulltime? And three kids? Help a mother out😅

Hello guys! In todays episode we'll teach you how to have a kid with no social skills and friends!

What about meeting people and makeing friends?

Grew up in a country town with some homeschooled families that integrated around high-school. Every single one of them as freshman were already at college lvl classes.

I know some people homeschool well, I have a genius friend i met in highschool that had been homeschooled well, but homeschooling is still dangerous because of how easily it can end up hurting people, plenty of people are conspiracy theorists who homeschool and indoctrinate their kids, same with teaching them biggotry, homeschooling also prevents them from making friends with people there age or learning how to work in a team or socialize, even if you make them go out or do a hobby or something.

I graduated this year on homeschooling alone

Sure, kids are weird. Interesting people are weird! But also, homeschooled kids are especially weird because they lack the volume of social interaction that helps them succeed by blending in with society skillfully. And they tend to be weird because MANY of the reasons why parents choose to homeschool are because the parents are insane, which tends to rub off on the kids because they're being raised in the home asylum. If your household is religious, conservative, abusive, or at all adjacent to the conspiracy theory / survivalist / pseudoscience culture, you're doing your kids a huge disservice by homeschooling. But if that's true, you're also going to respond that you have special knowledge about reality and you need to protect your kids from learning anything outside the family unit. See above.

study after study after study says that the school choice and school quality is far less important than parental involvement in the child's life. Homeschoolers do terrible if the parents are lazy..Kids at affluent schools do terrible if parents are lazy and uninvolved. Kids in high crime areas do terrible if parents are uninvolved or contributing to the area's problems. Our kids are in public school because we live in a nicely conservative area. My wife takes them to the library every week and they fill big tote bags of books they read all week because we dont let them watch tv without us or play video games at home and for the most part neither do their friends parents. And at dinner and on outings we have good conversations about nature, science, religion, even the economy and how supply chains work like the other night.

Beautiful reminder

Did you use assessments or testing method for end of the year requirements?

Remember this is only true if the child is actually educated by the homeschooling parent. Kids don't learn by osmosis.

This is so spot on! My homeschooled son is well ahead of his peers academically but we spend more time and effort on the life skills and trying to build his executive functioning (a huge challenge), which I know will be valuable time spent for his future compared to academics. I attended an Ivy League university for a couple of years and saw college kids who were valedictorians, prep school kids, you name it, who couldn’t boil water for pasta or work a washing machine. And of course, high academic achievement transfers nothing to your relationships or sense of self and resilience. When the going get tough in life - and it always does - you’re probably not leaning on your AP Chemistry knowledge for help. And the Barbie thing, wow. When I was a preteen girl Furbies were all the rage, and I see now how and why the adults were all so disturbed by them, haha! Children should be using their imaginations and interacting with real living things, not some motherboard in China.

I really really enjoy your content. It reminds me of another resource that seems up your ally! "Libraries of hope" is what it is called. Well educated minds and hearts of our children as well as ourselves 😊 is a complete must!

I love this! Do you have any recommendations on books or resources that teach elementary age children how their brains work? I feel like I could explain it but I’m sure that someone out there must have a simplified, yet complete, explanation for kids.

This is an exceptional video

My dad was a fighter pilot in the South African Air Force when they had Buccaneers in their fleet. I feel you on that excitement that never goes away when hearing or seeing those fantastic machines in flight! And yes homeschool is sometime like that. That excited fear of a new year or a new adventure you are heading on. Yes it is unsure sometimes, but when you have our Heavenly Father on your side, what can go wrong?!

You were out here on earth to help us homeschool our kids ! ❤️

Thanks Bekki for this valuable vedio I stopped at 8:39 min just to thank and say all the respect for you You have shine brights in my mind 😊 Something that is important to think of it this time....

This video was so good, I learned so much from it. I am so glad I didn't buy any curriculum yet. I have a question about teaching writing. My 6th grader tells amazing stories and uses amazing vocabulary ;however, when she has to actually write it down its like she is another person. She does have issues with spelling and some dyslexia tendencies. How would you suggest to teach formal writing? And possibly spelling? Right now we are using Dianne Craft's Right Brain Photogenic Spelling Program and she is finally on "grade" level.

Doing math in everyday life is the best way for some to learn math. If kids don't understand WHY they need the math and HOW it applies to life, you've lost them... We don't use a curriculum, but we focus on mastering the basics. The best "curriculum" for math I ever bought is a hands-on, games and activities based approach that works on the basics and knowing the basics off by heart. This is more for our youngest, but all my kids enjoy the games etc. We don't do millions of problems, we do about 20 or so questions for the concept for the day and that's it! If they know the concept, why drill them on it, right?!

I see so many people jumping from one curriculum to the next. I started off with those workbooks for the little ones (school zone and scholastic). I tried Learn Math Fast. It was good until it just jumped into concepts. I use Strayer Upton and realize that the old school math books are just as good if not better than the new stuff. I think the best math teacher I had in high school was my geometry teacher. He taught 15 minutes and let us do homework for the rest of the class. He would grade it and off we went. I don’t think you need 1000 problems a day. You’re brave though. Those kids cds are OBNOXIOUS!! We do use games.
