How to Stay Motivated in Your Homeschool (5 Easy Motivation Tips)
Hello. I just discovered your channel today while looking for highschool english. I am sorta binge watching all your videos now, and I have to say, you have some really great comtent. It's been really helpful and just what I needed to hear.
Thank you! I am saving your video for future moments when I need a little encouragement. ❤️
Where do they get the class lessons from?
What about if youve split .. i have a young one and her dad doesnt wanna do it!
What are some good homeschool programs that you have used for high schoolers?
I would have to say that my favorite way to HS high schoolers is to do an eclectic style. Meaning finding individual curriculum that fits the needs of your teen. But if you are looking for a HS program the ones I’ve seen that are online programs are Power Homeschool, Study.com, Time 4 Learning, Khan Academy. Some of the box curriculum are Abeka, Sonlight, Apologia, Oak Meadow and Calvert Education. Hope that helps. 😊🌼
Thank you so much! Super helpful
You are amazing!
Thank you so much for this video! We are about to start our first Homeschooling year with 8th Grade 🩷
This has been the most helpful video I've found on creating a HS plan! A lucky bonus for me is that I'm also homeschooling in Idaho. ☺Thank you Homeschool Joy!
Yay for Idaho homeschoolers! 😊 Thank you for watching.
I love this, thank you!
I want to try this, but when i ask my 13 year old daughter what she thinks and when i ask for suggestions to make things better for her, she just shrugs her shoulders 😮💨.
I'm so happy I found your channel. Thank you for all these practical tips! I'm feeling more confident as we move closer toward HS.
In Idaho, is it permissible to take economics in middle school and count it for high school?
As a fellow homeschooling mom, I can appreciate your perspective. I also agree with a lot of your method if the other person is open-minded and interested. However, if they're not, it's also okay to just leave it as, "This is what we feel is the best for our family at this time," and leave it at that. People can't really argue with that. I do disagree that we need to apologize for not talking to other family members first before our decision, even our parents. As adults and parents ourselves, we are responsible for our decisions for our own kids, whether or not our parents agree with or have given their opinion. We can seek out their opinion and advice if we trust them for certain areas, but it's not healthy to go to our parents for every issue and seek their approval when we are married and should cleave to our spouse now. Parents are still important, but their views should not take priority over what we feel as a couple that God is leading us to for our own families. If we said it rudely, then yes, we need to own and apologize for that. But people-pleasing, over apologizing, and over explaining are not healthy behaviors and can be a huge drain on our time and energy. It's taken me a long time to realize that not everyone cares to hear my why or my side or aren't open-minded to learning, even those I thought were closer. To any homeschooling moms, do the best you can, and then even if others continue to not understand or approve or are critical, you keep going with what you feel is best for your family. Live your life, and others will watch. You can do this!
This video is so reassuring! My husband and I have been so lost trying everything to figure out how to love and understand our 14 year old daughter more. You make so many great points. Thank you for this video!
Thank you for directing this to the kids! So great to hear it from another... and actually experienced... mom! God bless.
That's such a sweet ending. Sad but true. That's why we do what we do... primarily for the Lord.
Good video! Thank you so much for the great encouragement
Sometimes planes have to roam to have a good trip! ;0) God bless
"I definitely have to subscribe" ;-) Just did! Thank you again for a great and helpful video. God bless.
I’d love to see the curriculum choices that eventually were used for the Highschool years
Thank you!!❤ please make a middle school prep video. 😅 What do I need to focus on? Actually in 5th grade.
Excellent video and so practical! You broke everything down in a way that I could see and understand. I have been very overwhelmed with high school (next year I will have a 9th grader) but I feel much more encouraged now. :) Thank you SO much!!
❤
Thank you, this was helpful!
It would be our first year…
I’m watching this help us make the decision to homeschool our 9th grader will be 10th next year … And just found out we can partner with the high school for the AP classes he will need coming from a private classical education school!!!! My younger two I feel are easier to bring home but yes we only have a few years left with our oldest and he’s amazing…I want whats best for him!!!
There are so many wonderful options for teens to get the best education possible. You are doing wonders! Your kids are blessed to call you Mom. 😊🌼
This is AMAZING!!!! Thank you for making and showing and doing all of this!!! 9th grader next year and I’m gathering alllll the info I can. This was so helpful. And you’re an amazing mom/woman.
You are so welcome! Good luck with everything! Thanks for watching. 🌼😊
Thank you! 🙏
Thank YOU for watching! 😊🌼
I am a teenager and my stepmom doesn't do any of these 😭
Blessed to learn from you today. Thank you so much. I know I need to be more organized with our homeschool and I was praying to find a way how. True enough, the routine and schedule should be organized and be made visible. My other struggle has been record keeping, portfolio and grades--the part I least like. :( It has been very time consuming for me. Just wondering if you also have any tips on that. Thank you so much and God bless you!
Wisdom!
Thanks for watching! 😊🌼
Do you have a video on what science curriculum with labs that you use?
How about you telling your background knowledge of subject levels? What do you teach exactly?
Just found your channel and love it! As a visual learner, this is the best explanation of routines I have seen yet. And realistic/doable unlike some of these others that are so complicated and unrealistic to maintain over the long term. Thank you!
I am so happy you found HSJ!! So glad to have you. Thanks for your support and I hope these ideas are helpful and like you said, “doable”. Thanks for watching! 😊🌼
That's right

I'm so sorry for your loss. I am a new subscriber and have been going through your very encouraging videos. I have been homeschooling for 8 years now but high school is new territory. What did you do for high school science?
Thank you so much for your kind words about my sister. You are amazing with 8 years of HS experience!! High school is an awesome time for your teen and just remember that your role will be less of teacher and more of coach and cheerleader. Science is a subject that sometimes in HS you need outside help with or maybe I should say other HSers to do experiments with. You can do the experiments alone, at home, but usually it’s nice to have a group. So options for that are taking science classes at your local High school or local community college, get into a co-op that offers science classes, or find another HS family that wants to do high school science with you. Start your own HS science co-op!! With my kids, I’ve done the co-op route and doing it alone at home. If your teens are really interested in science, find them classes or private tutors wherever you can to help foster that curiosity and passion. Thanks so much for commenting! 😊🌼
