130. What To Do When Your Child Does Not Want To Be Homeschooled: Help For The Homeschool Mom Dealing With Resistance

Hey, Friend!
Are you stuck between a major life change to homeschooling and your child's emotions? Or maybe you started your homeschool journey and your child is not feeling it.
As a homeschool mom, our heart is so into every part of it. We want to do it well and to hear our child upset and saying they don't want to homeschool feels like a major letdown. Or a source of confusion, at the very least.
What if I told you that you and your child could come to a place of acceptance, expectation, and love for homeschooling?
After years of homeschooling and hearing stories from families, along with witnessing the mass exodus of the public school system, I have a few tips that will walk you down this road.
Grab a pen and paper and get ready to take some notes and then begin your journey to you and your child embracing homeschool.

129. How The Homeschool Lifestyle Grows And Changes In Different Seasons: Insights From Lisa Bass At Farmhouse On Boone

Hey, Friend!
We enter into motherhood unsure of all the decisions we are making and feel like we should know everything. Because "obviously," all the other moms know it all and we don't. Lol!
And then...we decide to homeschool and the learning curve is steep. We jump in and figure out a plan and assume that's the way it will always be.
And then, we enter a new season of life and wonder if it's okay to change the way we homeschool, get meals on the table, divide up chores in the family, and parent our children.
Today, I am joined by Lisa Bass at Farmhouse on Boone where we share our hearts about this and so many other topics. Which includes insight into how she keeps up with homeschool and home management with her large family.
Pop those earbuds in because I know you are going to be just as encouraged and inspired as I was with this conversation.

127. Questions You Should Never Ask a Homeschool (Or Any) Child

Hey, Friend!
After 20+ years of motherhood, there are a few questions that people would ask my children that just never quite sat right with me. Unfortunately, I think you’ve run into these more times than you’d like as well.
Let’s take a deep dive into the questions and why we should refrain from using them in conversations with our and other people’s children.
And on the flip side, I have a few ways you can resolve the conversation when others ask your children these questions, including some subtle and not so subtle responses.
Let’s be the homeschool families who recognize this and it turn, change the tide of these questions that seem to be innocent, but actually carry underlying tones that we shouldn’t want spoken into our children.

126. How A Homeschool Mom Can Teach Financial Literacy and Knowledge to Children of Any Age With Kristina Ellis of Ramsey Solutions

Hey, Friend!
They say that money, politics, and religion are three subjects many people steer clear of discussing. But that shouldn't apply to our homeschools.
Today, let's talk openly about money and how, even if you struggle in this area, a homeschool mom can teach financial literacy and knowledge. Whether you have your finances under control or not, you are the one your children want to hear about money from.
But you don't have to do it alone. Ramsey Solutions has resources to walk alongside this important topic. And Kristina Ellis gives us insight into how we can start and continue the conversation.
Grab your homeschool mom notebook and a pen because you're going to want to jot her tips down!

Hey, Friend!
Do you ever wonder if what you're doing day in and day out is even making a difference at all?
It can often feel like we are pouring in over and over and over again to our children and it's still the same thing the next day. We can easily get bogged down with not seeing the results we were hoping that we'd see.

I felt this same way until a simple shift stirred in my heart. It truly is what led me to grow and become content right where I was. And I want to share that "secret" with you today.

123. You Need Clarity In Your Homeschool More Than You Think and I’ll Show You Why

Hey, Friend!
Way to often, we begin homeschooling with some ideas and just hope it all turns out okay. We live in the tension and stress of not being sure and lacking confidence.
The way we turn this around is by having full clarity on what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how we are going to do it.
Can you even imagine homeschooling from a place of contentment, joy, and peace? You would be able to really lean in and enjoy your days, knowing you have been intentional about your parenting and homeschooling.
This is what I want you to have. And you CAN achieve it! Let's listen in to what having clarity in your homeschool can bring you. And then, take that next step towards clarity so you can walk out this calling.
