These 5 reasons sum up why we have chosen to homeschool our 5 kids. There are so many options out there for how we can choose to educate our kids! I am personally the product of private school and public school and I like to think I turned out ok ;) Each mom, who does it differently than we do, could compile her own wonderful list of reasons for why they choose to educate their kids the way they do. This is just ours :)

Not just moms... fathers homeschool too!
I wish that was my case too, but I’m the only parent who homeschool my daughter.
Solid reasons, many of which I share. I also have a background in education, and I'm still discovering so much that I haven't learned. The beauty if learning alongside my children is priceless.
Yes! I love watching them learn and I am definitely learning everyday with them too! xo
I think one of the biggest reason for homeschooling can be that when kids go to school they can often, understandably become homegenised - they change to fit in, they like what their friends like etc. When they are at home they can develop their personalities more.
didnt think about this. thank you. trying to build a case for my wife
I am not a Mom, but a 24 year old man who is probably thinking WAAAAY too far ahead, and I just want to thank you for the insight!
Beautiful video! Very well explained. It shows how much you love and value your family 😁. I was homeschooled by my mom for a short amount of time towards the end of middle school because I was heavily bullied to the point where I felt I was in danger at school. I then did program which allowed me to graduate high school faster and was able to graduate at 16. I remember feeling so much more at peace at home. Unfortunately, many kids can be very cruel, especially if they're being abused at home and carry that baggage with them to school. If I ever have kids I would love to homeschool them as well. It just feels more natural and allows for amazing & safe bonding. Thanks for sharing!
Girl, spot on! I totally agree with ALLLL these reasons and they are many of the same reasons we chose to homeschool as well!
Good stuff. Thank you!
These are the exact reasons to why I wanted to homeschool my children, sadly my husband didn’t support me in homeschooling so we made a compromise and sent them to a Montessori school. I love the school but still have such a desire to homeschool them
Oh Jacquie, that is so so hard. I'm glad you were able to reach a compromise and I want to encourage you to keep praying!! xo
I will pray for you. I have been blessed to homeschool my kids with my husband’s full supports.
💫💜🦋 all will be well. I will pray as well.
Great video! Love how you outlined these reasons so clearly. The ability to customize what our kids learn is a big one for me! We’re embarking on our own homeschooling journey this fall and are excited about it!
I love your reasons! They’ve got me more pumped for this new “lifestyle” my kids and I are entering soon 😅
Thank you & I'm soooo excited for you and this new season!! xo
So glad I found your channel! Fellow homeschool mama just completing our 6th year! So excited to follow along! Fellow youtube mama as well. 💜 Blessings from Idaho!
I’m glad I found you! I’m a homeschool mom, fellow UA-camr and I looove this video! Thanks for sharing. I agree with your reasons!
This is the BEST list of top 5 reasons why to homeschool (at least the best for Me!!). Amidst discerning schooling for our continually growing family, this helps put to Clear words all that I’m feeling♥️ THANK YOU for sharing your experience and your Self! 🙏🏽
Yes ! My Main Reason would be giving them a Christ Centered World View🙌 I hope the Lord helps me get organized with all of this🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your insights- very well said, and so encouraging and inspiring for me as a beginning homeschool mama!
thank you for this ! you are a role model
New sub here!! We just pulled our kids out of public. School and started homeschooling this past week! I’m learning and soaking it all in. This is so new to us and I don’t know where to begin yet. Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much for this encouragements and your joy. 😊
Thanks do much for sharing. New subscriber
These are my reasons for homeschooling also! Thank you for sharing them with others- I think it does help those who are thinking about homeschool as an option. ♥️
Sounds like we have a lot in common! :) Yes, hoping it helps mama's considering the homeschool way of life! xo
Those are exactly the reasons we homeschool as well. 🌺
Good reasons indeed
What about dads? I am a single dad of two girls 11 and 13
Hi Earl! What specifically are you wanting to know? Reasons to homeschool aren't targeted to either mothers or fathers :)
@@ThisBlendedHouse i was just inquiring. It seemed like you were just talking to moms. I am grateful that GOD chose me to be their dad. I take great pride in being a parent. I love your post. You have a beautiful family.
@@earlthapearl5641 Thank you! And yes, the niche of my channel is definitely focused on moms :) It would be hard for me to speak for dads since I'm not one, ha! Thanks so much for watching and hopefully you are able to glean some encouragement here!
Dads can homeschool
Could you share more on your homeschooling schedule, and what you use for curriculum? You are so inspirational!!
You are so sweet! I do have a homeschool morning routine video up :) I will make a new one probably after about a month after we have officially started school for this coming year. I want to make sure I share what we find really works for us! xo
Good morning thank for sharing your story with me what system and are you use Materials to
I love your passion. God bless you!
Yes yes yes yes YES! Yes to all 5! I will add to yours in saying that my bond with my kids allows for them to share with me when they encounter something new. Something that maybe they know isn’t right. It gives us the opportunity to share the embarrassing things because we know each other deeply from spending our days and nights together.
I never (NEVER!) thought that the lord would lead us to homeschool, and now that we are homeschooling, I can look back and see all of His preparation.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom! A great list for unsure mamas to prayerfully consider!
Thank you so so much for watching and commenting! I'm so glad you were open to the Lord's will for your family
You share my heart. God's plans were so not my own, oh but the beauty of following it. With every challenge, I'm guided back to my reasons which lead me back to Him.
I just found your channel and I love it!!!
Welcome Ashley!! xo
4 hours? Some friends tell me that 1.5 hours is way enough a day
Yes!! To all of it!
xo
I'm not a mom yet but homeschooling my kids is something I really want to do in the future and I want to learn what I can now
Yes!!! So true! ❤
Thanks for commenting, Jennifer!!
YES, YES, YES, YES, & YES!
xox
To be honest I’m a pre teen watching this because my mom sent me this and I say I want to be home schooled and I would let my kids be home schooled in the future so I agree with all of this. Adults sometimes don’t understand what we go through in school because it was in a different generation then them.
And they don’t think it’s as bad a we think it is and when we are at school teachers don’t even help us that much they only explain not show what we need to learn at our own paise. Because I don’t understand algebra and they are going through it faster then I can understand. I ask questions and they don’t explain what I want to know they always assume
can you please do a homeschool vlog!
At first, I thought... "Oh no! My kids are never going to be homeschooled. They'll be unprepared for the real world, and unsociable. Plus, I don't have what it take to teach them like a teacher can! No way." But now, I have researched and explored the many different options if homeschooling, and alternatives for regular school... Plus the benefits they hold. I already decided I want to stay at home and work from home as a writer, but now I want to homeschool my kids too. I want to spend more time and be in charge of their learning more. I want to make more time for fun things, and sum up the average school day into just about 3 to 4 hours of mainly learning to create time for other things in their lives. I know they would miss out on dances and events but I know we would be able to find ways to have fun together. I would probably send them to regular school in high school though, just because I think prom is really special and I want them to experience that, but I'm not sure. I also don't know if I would want to hire a tutor to teach my kids at our home, just so that it's not all on me.. or if I want to take full control of everything. Either way, I want my kids to receive an education from home, our home specifically. I'm excited 😊💝
Ivelisse Bout May I suggest Abeka or BJU video lessons. Both companies have teachers teaching through video lessons. We just finished kindergarten with Abeka. My little one loves it. She loves the teacher and feels part of the class she is teaching. Look into it. If you’d like. Pricey but I wanted to ensure my daughter had a solid phonics foundation. You can Also look into The good & the beautiful & all about reading. There’s bookshark secular and timberdoole and for free easy peace homeschool ... how to teach your child to read in a hundred easy lessons, reading pathways etc. just do research there is lots out there.
+Inia I have a degree in elementary education and when I taught in a private school, we used Abeka 😊 Thank you for the recommendation! I also taught my oldest daughters to read using “Teach Your Child...In 100 Lessons”...a great resource for sure! We are currently using The Good and the Beautuful. You are right, many great resources out there and I’ve def done all the research 😉
What books you used to teach kindergarten first grader??
Thank you for this
This is wonderful. Thanks a lot for sharing. I'm planning to homeschool my 5 year old. She is going to be a kindergartner. My first language is not English and I live in the United States. I know everyone's experience is different But, do you have, or anyone on your community any tips on how to do it? Any resources available? I really appreciate in advance your help. Blessing for you and your family.
Hi Ivelisse! There are so many resources out there! First, I would encourage you to begin by finding out what your state laws are concerning homeschooling. I know here in VA there is a website that answers so many of those questions for us HEAV.org Most of your work will come in the form of online research. If you're interested in a co-op (a group of homeschoolers that meets weekly) just do some searches online! And the same goes with curriculum. I have some videos that talk about the curriculums we use :) Hope that helps give you a start! :)
@@ThisBlendedHouse I really appreciate your time to read my post and your reply. Blessings for all.🙋♀️
Me, a dad, did not feel super welcome to this video when researching homeschooling my kid lol
*I`m a new sub... This is the first video I watch of Ur channel and I completely agree, I think homeschooling is an amazing way to teach our kids respect, good morals, N values which is something public schools lack... Another excellent reason to homeschool is to protect our kids from bullies... Lots of schools dnt like to talk about it, but my kids come home every day crying telling me how they got bullied... My dream was to be the only caregiver of my kids N homeschool them, but as a single mom of 3 I have to go out N work... But maybe in the future I will homeschool... Thanks for sharing with us Ur experience, that helps a lot... Hugs N blessings*
Hi Shirley, this is Praveen. We really found your video to be inspirational about Homeschooling. We share a very similar philosophy of life and have further questions about Homeschooling. It would be very helpful to us if we can talk over the phone so that we can get guidance on this topic.
Awesome 👍😊👍😁🙏✨
A public school education is nothing but a one-size-fits-all education. I went to public school back in the 1960's. The classes were just to large and I had emotional problems as well. I was always crying in class and yelling at the teachers. After fourth grade, I went to special education school, and the classes were much smaller. I gradually calmed down and I had much more respect for the teachers as well. After all, back in the 60's, there were no special education programs in the public schools.
In my opinion, the public schools are being run by both the state and Federal governments. Public school teachers simply don't have the time to deal with special needs; as well as give them the individualized attention that they need. And she's right about one thing; that all kids don't learn at the same level. Teachers are under a lot of pressure to form up to state and Federal standards. They have to teach what they are told to teach, and they have to teach it in such a short period of time.
She is also right about another thing. And that is that she doesn't have to ask the school for permission to take her kids in vacation, to have a doctor's appointment, or even to bring in a doctor's note of the child. They act as though they don't trust the parents and take their word for what they say. Unfortunately, all schools have strict attendance policies. They determine which absences are excused and unexcused. Depending upon their policies, if the kids are not in school, the parents are notified and/or a letter is sent home. If they miss a whole lot of school, the parents can be charged with truancy. Here in Pennsylvania, where I live at, kids have to be in school 180 days a year. If the attendance is down, it affects their school funding.
I also don't like what the schools are teaching these kids. They want to teach them the history of LGBTQ people, the LGBTQ lifestyles, have drag queen story hours at their public libraries, learning sex education from Planned Parenthood, and
FREEDOM
Are dads allowed to be here
Everything you said except for the religious reason is why we homeschool our 3 children. I think public schools are toxic to the minds of our youth.
Would you elaborate please?
Talk about timing. They say fame is ALL about the timing.
Let's make her famous and go viral with this message.
OUR D.O.E. is broken and outdated.
guys pray i get homeschooled lol i dont have much longer to convince my mom to let me be homeschooled. please help lol
Did you get homeschooled? Hope you did
I like homeschooling but in my country is not a thing😪
I hate home-school, I like being involved in school activities and
sports, I like being in a classroom environment, I like having things to
do, I hate being at my house all the time, I hate not seeing my
friends, at home I am lazy, disinterested, and distracted, also high
school teaches you important social skills, I feel like homeschooling
should be restricted, also kids need exposure to the outside world so
they can be prepared for the world when they grow up, and school is the
best representation of society and it is in the best interest for people
to be in that setting, I feel insecure that I was home-schooled, at
least I will not be in high school.
What curriculum do you use to homeschool?
We are in Classical Conversations so that is a big part of our learning curriculum, Math K-3 Horizons, Math 4th and up Teaching Textbooks, Language Arts, handwriting, typing is The Good and The Beautiful. :)
Home & Arrows thank you so luck for reply. We are planning to homeschool too so it’s nice to have good reference:)
WARNING this video may change your life haha. From a father's point of view this video is on point! If you enjoyed this video as much as I did I'd recommend looking at this newer post as well, thank me later 😎 ua-cam.com/video/iWQazKRL22M/v-deo.html
I literally have tears in the school I work at. Schools in AUSTRALIA demotivate parents views and moral values. Christianity ✝️ is forbidden 🚫 in schools. It’s scary to join kids in public schools.
