Thank you so much for this video

As a child who wants to home school, there is many different reasons I should I have extreme social anxiety physically and mentally. I can’t focus at school but my home is my safe space.

Are you a paper pie consultant?

With WEH, are we supposed to read each book entirely? I've had a hard time wrapping my head around how to start because it seems like so much reading.

Thank you for this!! Finally decided to use this for my daughter next year 😊

Boy! Poor children! I've been listening for two minutes and you have already made four grammar mistakes, two in singular/plural usage and the others in irregular simple past usage and irregular present perfect.

I'm autistic my kids are too. We're doomed to be weird anyway lol.

Thank you for your content I so needed this....I'm in the verge to pull my son out of school in the UK but I'm so scared to ruin his education as I'm messy. But he has been ill catching bugs at school almost every week and I'm not ok with that.I loved your video a good reminder for any christian mum who is thinking in HS.

How useful would it be to purchase just the instructional manual for each level to be used as a reference for a more traditional math curriculum?

Loved listening! I love all the movies you mentioned. Thank you for sharing! 🥰🥰

I would argue that there are valid reasons not to homeschool that were not addressed in this video, such as lazy parents who are not fully involved/invested in their children's education or a child with special needs who benefits from specialized therapies that the parent may not be able to provide/afford outside of a school environment. I agree that homeschooling is fantastic for parents committed to making it work with the ability to provide for the needs of their children. I just still believe there are cases in which it may not be the best option, and I think it is important to be honest about these times. Otherwise, I agree with most of the points made in this video.

Starting math u see next year for 1st grade and this got me excited thank you!

I have one in public school and two homeschooling. My homeschooled kids receive far less socialization time than my public school child. Unfortunately, a lot of her public school socialization results in insecurities and negative information. My homeschool kids do not have any close good friends though, like my daughter in public school does. For that reason, my 12 year old wants to return to picnic school after three long and lonely years.

I would love to see what you have listed on your chore chart, daily and everyday for kids. I really need help in this dept. Also you and your husbands, help! This momma is tired!!!!

I think because homeschooling is not the norm that it's an easy thing to blame. That being said, I've seen enough bad homeschool situations to understand the stigma.

My younger siblings were homeschooled through my oldest siblings 8th grade year. The younger ones are far less weird than the older ones. I know that they are not the typical outcome. But my step mother was not a good home schooler at all.

Thank you for sharing this system, I have been processing through what we could try, especially going into the next school year (homeschooling and 2 day co-op). I have a soon to be 7 year old and a 4.5 year old. Could you give me a few ideas of what could be good for them to do? Also, I am curious - when do you switch their daily in charge of chores? (When you mentioned cleaning the table every time vs. the counters, etc.) My 4 year old is very difficult to motivate to help pick up and I am excited to give this a try! Thank you!

I think I'd be careful downplaying the need for good academic standards in favor of character development. You need both. It would also be good to do a video on why homeschooling isn't as good for the kids and mitigate those deficits. For example, homeschoolers start to think everything can go on their time. In the real world, you have to work to a deadline. Also, at school, you have to deal with a teacher with an accent or different religion, or who doesn't think you're the cat's meow, or who has a radically different set of values to your own. That's the real challenge in the end. Look how much energy adults have to spend to get radical ideologies out of government! You won't have the skills to deal with those evil things if you haven't had your beliefs tested. Then too, there are teachers at school who really know their subject, such as math, and can inspire you in that direction where your parents may not have the interest or love for the subject. And some teachers have far better communication styles; ie. they don't talk like Mom. I tend to agree homeschooling can be good for many parents, but certainly not all parents.

I agree! I learn a lot too! Haha and We get time together. When they were in public school we always felt rushed and then I would always have a sick feeling when dropping them off. Especially during the pandamic time wearing masks, it was so sad to see the kids covering their face. So I decided to homeschool my two boys. It’s been two years and we all love it. I have control of what they are learning. We also, travel and that is the best way to learn and grow! I see how respectful they are and we have so much fun. A super plus with no crowds during week and the morning and nights are so nice, not sitting in school traffic everyday. And another plus, we eat good meals all day long. Ps. Thank you for your videos, sometimes the mom guilt kicks in. Some public school parents look down on me. So It is always nice to hear you are not alone at feeling this way!

I can tell you went to public schools 😂😂😂😂 Sooo dumb

I love this system. Life skills are such an important part of education and so helpful to us as well! 🙌☺️

I'm pregnant now and I'm also a teacher. Being a teacher made me 100% sure that I don't want to send my kids to school. It's not a good environment or even necessary for them.

Congratulations! So fun!! Love your hair! How is your flow going now since you have dropped the tutoring?

When I first started homeschooling my youngest socialization was the most brought uo "concern" by people. I would tell each one, "talk to my son about anything you want and see how well he does." By the time he was about 6 or 7 people stopped asking about the socialization. parents who think they can't homeschool their children are thinking of how misbehaved they are from being put in the gov school system. Some kids are weird/unique and that will happen whether they're homeschooled or not. LOL One of the things I loved about homeschool kids is that the older kids took younger kids under their wings. There weren't any "age" segregations like public school kids. If my son had stayed in private school, they would have labeled him and he would have been behind. A lot of my son's peers went through public school and they're very angry with the school system. They feel the schools have failed them. And can we talk about how many can barely read and barely do math. Excellent video.

Congrats! I love your videos. Glad I found your channel🙂 what are your favorite subjects to teach & what ones are daunting to you? Is your family is a co-op or CC or anything like that? Were you homeschooled yourself?

Yay, so happy for you! I have been wanting to homeschool forever but have never pulled the trigger. 1. How do you homeschool multiple kids at the same time? I have a 4th grader and 2nd grader that I would want to pull out of public school to teach. 2. How do you find your curriculum you like or that works with your kids? 3. What field trips do you do with your kids? 4. How do you find other homeschool kids their age to do things with during the day (field trips etc), where do you find the co-op groups?

Was your husband on board when you wanted to start homeschooling? If not what changed his mind or how did you navigate that?

Congrats! Did you have exposure to homeschooling before you started with your own family?

Fun! Where did you grow up? What is your biggest pet peeve? And what’s your favorite movie?

Does your children take standardize tests in subjects that you already "taught them" to see if they will pass or fail the subject? The standardize tests should be taken at a testing site and not at home. Are the children ever going to be able to go to school when they are older? It is nice to homeschool when they are young but harder when they are older.

Thank you so much for ALL OF THIS!

I’m gonna be the odd one out here, but I attempted to homeschool my son and though he was easy to teach and followed our timetable well, he did better in a school setting (private) than with me 1:1. When I consider Charlotte Mason’s 1st principle: Children are born persons, I saw that my extroverted son not only thrived but excelled in a school setting where he can look up to other authority figures. He is everything you described as a homeschooled child- mature for his age, speaks well and comfortably with both genders regardless of age and is very comfortable in himself and the Christian values we have instilled in him. My point being is not one size fits all. This message is mainly for the parent that clicked on this video due to its title wondering if their story is the opposite: we took our child out of homeschool and now he is thriving. I should point out that we have educated our child since birth and continue investing in his education by creating an atmosphere of learning in the home, we also chose a good school with a good curriculum. Not every parent can afford private school education so homeschooling with a community is another good option. I would also look to see if there’s a microschool in your area as that is another good option and more affordable.

I had to homeschool. Military family. The last two schools for 4 and 5 had so many bullies. I wanted my daughter to stay in school. But her mental health was declining in 4th grade!!! Now we are having the time of our lives. Just got back from disney world. We had a 70 degree day this winter so we went to the zoo wh8le all are bullies are sitting in class

This was really informative and helped me to finally make a decision. Thank you!

Another amazing job! You always get me so fired up and excited to begin WEH! We're planning on starting soon! As an aside.. im not LDS but I just love so much the strong emphasis your church has on missions. I have a huge heart for missionary work and have since I was a child...but its incredibly difficult to get started in missions within the Baptist church. That being said..recently my family left our baptist church of several years for a non denominational church...im excited to see where the Lord might lead us next. ❤

I couldn't understand why weather wasn't included. In the rotation

Socialization while home schooling is not guaranteed. It doesn't "just happen" but rather requires the parent(s) to reach out for and with thier students/ children; some parents want thier children more isolated for a variety of reasons. This also addresses issues related to "weird kids". Social awkwardness is one reason children, and adults, are considered weird. An intune parent can address this without the psychological damage that can occur with bullying. But, as you mentioned those with less functional family dynamics remain a bit out of sight with homeschooling.

in the past before we became more aware of things like autism schools weren't (and likely still aren't) set up to deal with kids who are neurodivergent. And so many families of these "weird" kids ended up homeschooling.

Love the book Hold Onto Your Kids

New Sub here, I feel like my child sould be in a few higher levels then what he was placesd in what are your thoughs?

Such a great video, I hope lots of people watch this!! These myths can get very tiresome to deal with. 😊

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you so much ❤️ Struggling homeschool mom here, having a bad week 😓 Your words put me back into focus. God bless you 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

To the point of falling behind, it's really amazing to have the opportunity to cater the curriculum to how the child learns. Public schools don't have that type of flexibility or time to switch anything when it's not working for the child.

We love all about reading. Maybe we don't have the same addition, but our student activity book isn't consumable. I can reuse mine with my other child. I just cut the activities out, organize and save them. Nothing gets written on. I love seeing the curriculum you use. Thanks for sharing!

It sounds great. I love that it builds up on. This was a great review and well explained! Thank you for sharing with us. 🙌☺️💕💗

Has anyone tranitioned from good and beautiful math to math u see? If so is there anything lacking or better taught? Is there a big gap or are they closely taught lessons by levels? Any help would be grateful 🙏 thanks.

I needed this. Thank you 💕

This sounds like a mom who failed at homeschooling so she has to put it down to make herself feel better.. my homeschooled son is 2 grades ahead of his government indoctrinated peers.. he’s smart, mature, and well spoken

I think part of the reason why many families who homeschool have better behaved kids, is because the parents are able to address more behaviors and correct it. Teachers are so limited on discipline in the school, even in Christian school. It isn't that homeschool kids are perfect, but the parents often parent better....because they see and correct behavior.
