    Hey, I hope you feel better soon also, if you find you have time to answer my question...science for my year 6 is always such a head spin for me..I have just started the Master Books curriculum by Answers in Genesis. I don't mind it...half the time I feel like I'm not prepared with all the experiments they want you to do for the observation. ( And sometimes it's so pricey cause the materials you can only get in the U.S. ) As my daughter progresses naturally the more difficult the course becomes..Science isn't my strength...I think for the benefit of both of us I would rather have her learn online. Could you recommend a good science program for my daughter or link one you have already done a segment about? Thanks so much!

We’re working on a television series currently, inside our FTG Studio. Then we’ll launch everything at the same time.

    I'm not going to set out to purchase curriculum to teach my children about Jesus. You could have excellent Bible-based curriculum and if you the parent aren't daily demonstrating Jesus's ways in your own character, that curriculum won't matter. I just purchased TG&TB for our kids and so far it is lovely. We are Bible-believing followers of Jesus Christ and don't need to fear any curriculum because He has given us the Holy Spirit and discernment. I actually came to Christ after having been given a book of mormon. They tried to convert me but I was seeking God. Another person gave me the true Holy Scriptures. I clung to them. Your kids are not going to come to Christ through your homeschool curriculum, and a curriculum like TG&TB isn't going to damn them. It's raising them up in God's word, in prayer, in grace for each-other, in humility, in asking forgiveness, in our example of trying to do His will and asking for forgiveness when we fall short. And showing them beauty in the form of art, poetry, and literature can absolutely help them along the narrow path. I've read many books from Christians who believe differently that I do theologically. I want to instruct my children in such a way that they will be able to understand that not everyone does believe the same things and that's okay-we believe the way we believe because this is what the Bible says and the Bible is God's word. If we come across erroneous teaching, bad doctrine, or sinful behavior in a book or curriculum we talk about it, discuss it, show them discernment in action. I doubt we will need to do that for TG&TB but I'll be keeping my eyes open! I find these type of videos in bad taste, especially the popping noises, black and white effects, and other dramatic controversy-driven, stress-inducing hype. If you want to see more Christ-like encouragement and behavior check out Jenny Phillips on The Good and The Beautiful youtube channel. I really enjoyed her "How I design my days" video.

    Also a second generation Aussie homeschooler here! Your content has been really helpful to our family. We made the decision to pull my eldest two out of school and begin homeschooling a few years ago and within 2 weeks found out we were pregnant with number 4.😂 Like you, each of my pregnancies has got harder and that first trimester was a nightmare with sickness, learning homeschooling for 2, and looking after a toddler. It was like a perfect storm. Good on you for having the wisdom to slow down and pause when you need to. I didn't and I wish I had. I just made things more stressful for myself and kids out of my own insecurity and comparisons. I'm still learning this and bub number 4 is a year and a half now. Through all of these stages (pregnancy, newborn, active toddler who runs away at homeschool outings or needs to be napping), I am learning that I need to adjust and rely on grace. Being ok to let go, do less, and trust God by doing only what he's saying for your family's homeschool is a huge blessing that is really freeing.

    Great video! I wanted to add my thoughts. We have used TGTB for 2 years now, level K, and Level 1 and we will be using Level 2 this coming year. I don’t use this curriculum to teach my child the Bible. I use the Bible to teach the Bible. We also love The Answers books for kids by Ken Ham. I will say that there are plenty of references of the New Testament throughout TGTB curriculum, whether it’s LA or Handwriting. TGTB has worked very well for us and my daughter loves it! It is affordable and it is easy for me to teach! We have used BJU Press for Spelling and it is great! I love that they incorporate the Bible in their workbooks no matter what subject, however buying an entire grade level for our family on one income would be very hard! It is a solid company though and I never rule anything out! Thank you for insight!!

I would prefer to be honest with them and tell them the gospel and hopefully get them to think about this issue AND lose them as a subscriber (same goes for secular peoples) if need be, than keep them and boost my vanity numbers, but not be honest with them.
