And here I am, watching every single homeschool video of you although I‘m only 19 with no kids and homeschooling isnt even a thing in my country 💀😂 Also, I would like to add, that those videos are really interesting for me since every child in my country goes through that typical state school system, just as I did. And I actually loved going to school in general. Loved being with my friends every day and I was actually really good in school, so I enjoyed it. My brother was the complete opposite tho, he was constantly struggling academically and socially. I‘m wondering if homeschooling would‘ve helped him!
homeschool allows parents to teach the way kids learn so that may have helped in the education side but on the social side people are who they are. sometimes you can become more confidant in your own skin by removing yourself from the situation for awhile but, I have 4 kids and one of them is socially awkward and that's just there personality. That being said hes 4 so it could happen. until then I tell everyone hes my functional mute.
michelle yeck maybe you‘re right! I think some kids are just intimidated by those huge classes some schools have. For a socially awkward child to be thrown into a class of 25-30 kids unknown to them 🤯 must be horrific! My school was different and I went there with everyone from my kindergarten class. Some kids I knew since birth. But our school system is also very different from the American one, so its always an interesting thing to watch for me.
@@lillyl6901 it has changed a lot as well when I graduated it was mostly pen and pencil now teachers hear bearly teach they allow the electronics to do it for them witch is very sad. I sent my oldest to school a few years ago for like a month worst thing I ever did because they failed him from the start they should have done placement testing before they started him (they didn't they wanted him in a classroom so they could get tax money for him being there) and so they placed him in grade 2 because that was where we were at in his homeschool not shocking to me that school was ahead of where we were in homeschooling duh I told them this they were surpised. so they put in in 1st grade and that would have been ok had they started him there to begin with but they didn't so he felt like he was being punished started acting out and it was just a nightmare I brought him back home and never looked back. dont get me wrong his teachers genuily cared about him but the administration just wanted the tax money they would get for there head count. theres more but that was just the worst thing
"living in an environment you love to be in" Thank you for this statement. I could never put into words what I was striving for, and you put it so elegantly. This will be my starting statement with beginning our homeschooling journey. We are starting homeschool, but I have wanted to do homeschool forever. 2020 just gave me the push that I needed. I am glad I found your channel. 💕💕💕
Im starting this year and I have gotten so many dirty looks, confused looks, looking at me like im weird! And i havent even started yet🤦♀️ and the famous question..... "WHY????"... Well because They are MY kids and I can do as I please!!!! 😬 lol
Went to college with a girl who was full-time homeschooled, the college was her first experience with a public school system and she was the smartest girl in our class. I applaud people who home school and would love to with my own kids one day
I was shocked today when i told my mom i was homeschooling my kindergartener and she was supportive!! I expected her to say I was crazy and ask a ton of qurstions. So supportive!! It was nice that the first person I told was on board.
Starting homeschool with my son on Monday! My reason is to make memories with him and just to see those ah ha moments of learning! I'm so grateful for this opportunity!!
“Comparison is the thief of joy” never heard it and will never forget it💕this has been the most difficult part of homeschooling for me... for the first time this year, my third year, do I feel like “I got this!”. Every video of yours Angela makes me want to call you and go to coffee... you are so personable and adorable... love love love your channel.
Such good advice! Not a momma or a homeschoolers. In fact I teach in public school. It's so easy to compare myself to other teachers and wish my classroom ran just like theirs. And I'm not my students first teacher. Their parents are! I'm there to facilitate their learning and assist these families in education. Loved the video!!
Great advice! This will be our 6th year homeschooling and I feel like I'm FINALLY relaxing and realizing I have to do best for my kids and not what other people think is best for them. Or what everyone else is doing! My 3rd child has forced me to loosen up majorly. He's the one that has forced me to accept that not all kids are the same and to not compare!
Such good reminders thank you.....starting year 2 here and still fluctuate between panic/comparison and confidence in what we are doing. It has been one of the best hardest things we've done. 💗
Thanks for the advice! My son is only 17 months but I’ve felt the need to start exploring our schooling options sooner rather than later and homeschooling is definitely on the list.
Thank you for talking about writing down a mission statement for anything you do in your life not just home schooling. Makes 100% sense and is so true. Without a deeper cause that hits you or hurts you that pains you to see in the world, none of the superficial causes will sustain your mission longer and or keep you going stronger. When the waves are rough and the days r tough, if not for a real vision that matters to you, the interest or joy of doing whatever you r doing ( UA-cam, adoption, working for a certain company) will fade away over time. You are a wonderful mama and a person! I love your videos here and on your this gathered nest
Thank you for this Angela 🙏🏽 Pulled our 5th grader out of public school and homeschooling for the first time this year. You have been a big help in my preparation!!
Angela can you make a video for new homeschoolers who are in a time of transition/ growing a family/ pregnant and sick? You’ve got a lot of experience with that and I’m super intimidated!
Gearing up for Year 3 and thought today I needed to tap in and be reminded why we're doing this, love the UA-cam home school tribe. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos so encouraging.
I sent my letter of intent yesterday and I was very nervous about it at first, but also excited. I can't explain the mix of emotions I have, from being excited because I look forward to learning along with my son, to being scared I will not be able to pull through and finish the first year. Thank you for this video, it has given me some much needed encouragement.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this video. Starting my first year of homeschooling with my son and all these tips were tremendously helpful. Unfortunately I've already met with a bit of opposition from my mother-in-law but I don't tend to back down easily when I am determined to do something that I care deeply about. I am super excited to begin this journey with my kiddo. 😀
TOTALLY UNRELATED... I came from your This Gathered Nest video where you shared your homestudy approval news! I'm so excited for you and your family. NOW BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM...
This is so great! I did not think homeschooling was going to be a part of our family plan, but because of videos like this I believe it possible! Thanks for sharing!
This video was perfectly timed. God is so kind- He knew my momma heart needed this! This is our first year educating at home. The Lord has confirmed which curriculum He’d like us to use and He provided another homeschool family in our school district that I can get advise from. After we told them our curriculum choice, they started explaining why they preferred their curriculum more. I left the conversation doubting if we made a mistake or misunderstood the Lords leading. But He was kind to quickly bring to mind all the signs He gave us that pointed us to the one we chose. So thank you for making this video! It blessed my heart and the Lord used you to remind me I am following His leading not anyone else’s. 💗
Angie, I love ya! God is amazing and on days I really need your videos they are there with the advice I need. Today has been hard with home schooling my four yearold.
This helped just as a stay at home mom of two little ones. I find I'm constantly worrying, comparing, etc. Mission statement for my family is something I want to work on. I feel it's important to believe in what you're doing. I lack confidence and constantly doubt myself. Not being quite the reliant captain I want to be.
It has taking me a while also too. Your teaching changes and so does your kids way of learning. Thats why I have always loved watching your vids. They put me at serious ease knowing im not alone.
It took me a few years to really believe all of these things about ourselves and the way we homeschool. The mission statement for the year really helped me to focus. Thank you for sharing
Watching homeschooling videos even though I will never homeschool just because I just find it so interesting. And then I come across a gem like number 5, needing a solid reason, a mission/heart behind what you’re doing. This can be used across all pursuits and plans. And I’m going to think about this for things I’m planning!
Even though I will be graduating with an Elementary Education degree next year, I completely agree with doing what is best for each child so that they will have the best chance at a success education. I would even love to, if my life style ever allowed to homeschool my future children if I saw that would work best for all.
Classroom Of Creation I agree! I’m an Elementary Ed major as well & a current paraprofessional. I’ve already decided that my future children will more than likely go to private school or be homeschooled. Public schooling definitely isn’t off my option list but I’d like to consider other choices as well.
I do want to meet you. You are an inspiration and as a young adult and someone who is getting into adulthood watching your videos is a motivation to do something amazing, thank you so much Angie. Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 ❤️
These are so real and good!! I'm going back to homeschooling some of my kids this year, and it gets scary bec6u know how hard it can be. But, I have to remember that important things can be HARD. And that doesn't negate the worthiness of the thing you are doing.
Thank you for this! I found your channel while looking for homeschooling info and I am so so glad! We are starting our journey this year and I’m very excited!!
Needed this! I'm starting my homeschooling journey with my 6 kiddos in 3 weeks. I'm for sure that God had to be the one to put homeschooling on my heart, but I'm definitely nervous.
@@My.Lifes.Journey I'm a qualified primary school teacher (who knows school is not the best place for many kids to learn!) So I will be doing it on my own. Based on the nz/Australian curriculum. 🙂
I know God made me for this and I have been seriously preparing for this since I was 6. I want to thank you for being one of the women I have seen as inspiration in my hs journey. We will begin year one in August. I’m going to go make a list of my whys so I can refer to it AND pray over it every day before we start our day.
Adoptive mamma over in the UK. Kiddos are a few years away yet but homeschooling is a huge question for me right now. This has been incredibly encouraging thank you so much!!
Yes, i agree. With all of it. Early in my homeschool life, I loved the idea of Charlotte Mason but after years of trying and then I tried the workbooks style school. My kids enjoyed it and they were able to see accomplishment on paper. Or maybe i should say "it fit" them. 😊
Sending you lots of positive vibes after your video on TGN! Really interested in homeschooling even though its not a ‘thing’ here in Belgium. I’d have loved being homeschooled!
Thankyou so much for this...we're just starting out this year and this was very inspiring! You are beautiful and funny and I always feel very motivated and inspired after watching your videos🙏💃💫
I just want to say, there are "freaks" in traditional school settings too. The type of education may not matter much if you just have ab "odd" kid. It's ok to be different ❤ I would rather my kid be different in the safety of my home than to go to school and face bullying and everything that comes from not fitting in.
The mission statement is great advice. We will be entering year 2 in September. last year I wrote a statement of all the things I wanted us to achieve. All year I’ve been trying but it’s so hard with a 3 yr old I thought there was no way we got anything done. I read it again and we ticked every box!!!
We are just starting our second year homeschooling in Scotland. My daughter is away to turn 6. She is signed up for ALL THE THINGS as she has so many hobbies. I'm just going with the flow and following her lead. Also, pretty please do some hauls. Usborne...
my daughter just asked me today if we can start homeschooling. It is actually something I have considered because this year (she's in 4th grade) she has been giving us a very hard time attending school and I just know homeschooling is the best choice but let me be honest, I am super nervous to fail her and not be good enough. I hope I can start next school year (so August 2023) and I know I have ALOT of research to do.
Great tips Angela!!! Thank you so much 💜 you said everything I needed to hear today. I know god is leading me in the right direction here. Your family is beautiful 💜 thanks again :)
Thank you so much for this video. We're wanting to homeschooling are two daughters they're 2 and 4 and its ben a really tough decision to make. This helps me and prepared me on what will be coming ahead.
Oh my gosh. Thank you so much.I needed to hear this right now. I have been following you for over a year. And now due to all the crazy in the world I'm going to start homeschooling a 1st grader and a 9th grader. I have learned so much from you thank you. Where is the link? Lol. Also can you recommend some reader books for me to get?
First of all thank you for this video. I'm starting homeschooling this year so I'm glad to get a chance to watch it. on an unrelated note, I was telling my daughter about you and started describing for her all of the things that you do in addition to having seven kids including some with special needs, and homeschooling, etc etc, and we were wondering......HOW DO YOU LOOK LIKE THAT??? Please do a video telling us how, or link it here if you already have!!! PS. My daughter's theory is that you are a vampire and therefore do not need sleep. Please address. 😂
Ummm as somebody who has asynchronous, Learning things because of stuff like dyslexia. and other things and then on top of that gifted , I was literally in college level textbooks for science at around 10 and still in kindergarten stuff for reading and writing. Listen to me when I say this is long as your kids are learning and they’re learning the things that you think they need any more harm and see your state. You’ll be fine your kids will be fine
Thank you so much for your encouragement! This will be my 4th year homeschooling my 2 boys 14 & 10, and I still feel like I don't know what I am doing..🤦♀️
Thank you for this! Starting out and am soaking in all the HM school videos and yet already feeling the comparison especially with a special needs child.
I’m 19 and single😂 I really love to learn about this though. I think that homeschooling is amazing. I went to public school, but honestly don’t think I’d want my kids to go to it. I would want them to either be homeschooled or maybe private school. I really want my kids to have a more theistic approach to learning and I want them to involve God every day. I am going to college to become a teacher, but teaching is something I’m passionate about (my kids or not).
Is it naive to ask if school only takes a couple of hours, what else do you personally do with your kiddos during the day? Homeschooling intrigues me but I'm so worried about keeping my kids active and not bored/sitting on screens/etc. Thanks!!
I also homeschool and I will say for us personally after "school" time during the day, my kids continued/continue to learn freely. They with legos, watched documentaries etc. Also we spent time doing field trips, outside time and spend time doing extracurriculars :)
Hi Angela! I'm a new homeschooling mom to two kids and am curious how your experience has been with compliance. I really dislike that word but this is my biggest fear-- my daughter is strong willed and opinionated (which I love) but worry she will give me a terrible time trying to get her to do her lessons everyday. We use minimal punishments and rewards and are gentle parents for the most part, with boundaries of course. I guess my question is--are your kids eager to learn your lessons 4-5 days a week?
My family sooooo....ignorant about homeschooling! My Aunt at our Memorial Day gathering at my dads said basically homeschooling is for for lazy moms! It took everything for me to not say anything! They are so ignorant! My step mom knew I wanted to say something soooo...bad! 😂😂
And here I am, watching every single homeschool video of you although I‘m only 19 with no kids and homeschooling isnt even a thing in my country 💀😂
Also, I would like to add, that those videos are really interesting for me since every child in my country goes through that typical state school system, just as I did.

Thank you - I love your homeschooling videos. This was very helpful as we are new on this homeschooling journey - right now need encouragement.
Please make a part two! Love your authentic advice!
Yes part 2! I love your homeschool videos!!
Sending you lots of positive vibes after your video on TGN! Really interested in homeschooling even though its not a ‘thing’ here in Belgium. I’d have loved being homeschooled!
Thankyou so much for this...we're just starting out this year and this was very inspiring! You are beautiful and funny and I always feel very motivated and inspired after watching your videos🙏💃💫
Yes! I needed to watch this today! I don’t have much support from my family and friends!
I soooooo needed this video today. Thanks for the boost of confidence.
Thank you for the encouragement on this day - perfect timing for me! 💗
Yes! Part 2!!! Thank you
Thank you! Starting home school soon and pretty nervous! This is exactly what I needed.
Great video!!! So much truth! Great advice for all us homeschooling mamas as we are gearing up for back to school! 💜
Yes to the whole video!!!

I always have to remind myself too! Especially about staying in my lane 😉
So helpful and encouraging! Thank you 💗
Love this video! Needed this reminder

You have an amazing day!!! ☀
Thank you! Really needed this.
Thanks Ang!
my daughter just asked me today if we can start homeschooling. It is actually something I have considered because this year (she's in 4th grade) she has been giving us a very hard time attending school and I just know homeschooling is the best choice but let me be honest, I am super nervous to fail her and not be good enough. I hope I can start next school year (so August 2023) and I know I have ALOT of research to do.

Thank you so much!!! 💗💗💗
Yes do a Part 2!! 😁🙏❤
This video is so helpful. Thanks for the info.
Thank you so much for this video.
We're wanting to homeschooling are two daughters they're 2 and 4 and its ben a really tough decision to make. This helps me and prepared me on what will be coming ahead.
I know this is an old video but just want i needed to hear ❤
Love this advice and video!
Oh my gosh. Thank you so much.I needed to hear this right now. I have been following you for over a year. And now due to all the crazy in the world I'm going to start homeschooling a 1st grader and a 9th grader. I have learned so much from you thank you. Where is the link? Lol. Also can you recommend some reader books for me to get?
First of all thank you for this video. I'm starting homeschooling this year so I'm glad to get a chance to watch it.
on an unrelated note, I was telling my daughter about you and started describing for her all of the things that you do in addition to having seven kids including some with special needs, and homeschooling, etc etc, and we were wondering......HOW DO YOU LOOK LIKE THAT???
Please do a video telling us how, or link it here if you already have!!!
PS. My daughter's theory is that you are a vampire and therefore do not need sleep. Please address. 😂
Amen, sister!!
Yes. Make a part 2.
Great advice!
Ummm as somebody who has asynchronous, Learning things because of stuff like dyslexia.
and other things and then on top of that gifted ,
I was literally in college level textbooks for science at around 10 and still in kindergarten stuff for reading and writing. Listen to me when I say this is long as your kids are learning and they’re learning the things that you think they need any more harm and see your state. You’ll be fine your kids will be fine
Thank you so much for your encouragement! This will be my 4th year homeschooling my 2 boys 14 & 10, and I still feel like I don't know what I am doing..🤦♀️
Thank you for this! Starting out and am soaking in all the HM school videos and yet already feeling the comparison especially with a special needs child.
Oh yes! I totally understand that- we’ve yet to make solid choices for Rosie next year for this exact reason.
I’m 19 and single😂
I really love to learn about this though. I think that homeschooling is amazing. I went to public school, but honestly don’t think I’d want my kids to go to it. I would want them to either be homeschooled or maybe private school. I really want my kids to have a more theistic approach to learning and I want them to involve God every day. I am going to college to become a teacher, but teaching is something I’m passionate about (my kids or not).
Who else is not even out of highschool yet and nowhere near homeschooling at all but are still very interested?
Part 2! Part 2! Part 2!
Is it naive to ask if school only takes a couple of hours, what else do you personally do with your kiddos during the day? Homeschooling intrigues me but I'm so worried about keeping my kids active and not bored/sitting on screens/etc. Thanks!!
I also homeschool and I will say for us personally after "school" time during the day, my kids continued/continue to learn freely. They with legos, watched documentaries etc. Also we spent time doing field trips, outside time and spend time doing extracurriculars :)
Hi Angela! I'm a new homeschooling mom to two kids and am curious how your experience has been with compliance. I really dislike that word but this is my biggest fear-- my daughter is strong willed and opinionated (which I love) but worry she will give me a terrible time trying to get her to do her lessons everyday. We use minimal punishments and rewards and are gentle parents for the most part, with boundaries of course. I guess my question is--are your kids eager to learn your lessons 4-5 days a week?
Thank You!!
My family sooooo....ignorant about homeschooling! My Aunt at our Memorial Day gathering at my dads said basically homeschooling is for for lazy moms! It took everything for me to not say anything! They are so ignorant! My step mom knew I wanted to say something soooo...bad! 😂😂
This past three days was a what was I thinking days....🤔
Part 2 please
What homeschool convention were you referencing here?
Can you share your mission statement?
You look great lady! 💜 Have you lost weight? If so what are you doing...I need to drop off 20 lbs 😱
I don’t know why I’m watching this I’m 13 and have been homeschooled my whole life.
