I feel called by the Lord to homeschool my children too! I'm pregnant and I really appreciated this video. Thank you ladies!!
Amen
I have the same unction, and it has been on me even more this past few weeks. Im preping for 2025. May He guide me through this because I have no idea what im aout to start.
Anybody here because of the Coronavirus?
I was until she said “Creationism science” lolol
Once school starts again in August, our Governor is requiring face masks for everyone entering school and social distancing everywhere. God has put homeschooling on my heart. My kids are on the Autism spectrum. Socializing and facial recognition are everything!
Yes, I’m here because of the epidemic that’s going on now. I would like to know more about home schooling.
I’m not ready to sent my kids back to school any time soon!!
I don’t believe that all students will follow the protocol. It’s sad to said but it’s the truth.
definitely here because of corona! Have no clue what I'm doing and school starts next week.
I am a father that is trying to take on the task of homeschooling. It would be awesome to ‘erase’ the idea that homeschooling is just for mothers.
Gonna try my hardest for my little buddy to give him the best education I can provide!!!
thefakeJonnyLenox awesome! Good luck!
Wow awesome dad!
No one said it was just for mothers.
I was thinking the same thing when they said "for mothers"
@@erika662 it's always implied that women are the caretakers of children.
Around 8:15, I realized these ladies weren't really going to tell me how to "start homeschooling". But it was fun putting the video on 1.5X playback speed. That way, I only wasted about 6 minutes figuring out these ladies weren't teaching me how to actually START homescooling.
😁 no they didn't.
You have to go to their page
Yes, there are a lot of videos like that on youtube and you have to become better at filtering. It only took me two minutes to notice that, I stoped watching after that.
They want yuh to buy what they know.. 😁
Fellow homeschool mama!!! 1st generational homeschooler as well! 💗 Glad I came across this!
Thank you for both of your videos! New homeschooling mom here of 2 beautiful little girls! Jumping in with both feet and never looking back :) God Bless you both 💕
thanks for watching!
I love how she mentioned that a particular curriculum might look AMAZING, but it may be too much for you in your current season. I have found this to be true! Thanks for sharing this excellent interview with us, Heather! 🙌💖
P.S. I'm a second-generation homeschool mom. I love hearing "the switch" stories from first-generation HS moms! And AMEN to finding *your* people! Everybody needs a tribe, especially for field trip group discounts! Haha! 😍
A Beautiful Horizon thanks for watching!
Who’s also here after hearing Trump is going to pressure schools to open.
I'm here for this reason! Only I'm looking for a secular education for my 4 kids. I'm having trouble with that part.
@@BronPuca83 Same here! I'm actually really happy with how my daughters' school has handled online learning. But I want to be a better coach for them this coming yr. Cause I sucked!
@@BronPuca83 That's the hard part of this discussion. Too often people equate homeschooling with fundamentalist Christian ideas, like creationist evolution--yikes. I homeschooled my kids, and my daughter now runs a homeschool resource center and her kids have gone there, one graduated and successfully in college and another heading there in a year. WE prefer to meet in person, but have moved online to meet the crisis. The personal contact is important to us and we'll be happy to see each other in person again. There are a lot of resources out there. I started with John Holt when I was in teacher training. Read Blake Boles. Think of ways to incorporate your community resources. Build on your kids' passions.
@@pc4764 That's amazing! I'm glad to hear success stories from the opposite end of the homeschooling spectrum. I was looking for grants to help me purchase some books and curriculum, and a few of them specifically said "If you're teaching secular education you will not qualify, do not apply". It's heart breaking. Like me and my children are somehow less deserving of an education opportunity because we aren't religious.
I know I'm going to bumble through this year, but I'm finding it very rewarding already to learn along with them and prepare them for what the future may hold.
Any tips on resources to get me going?!
I'm here because our school refuses to open and it's clear teachers prize minor safety concerns over the kids' education. They'll sooner protest than teach.
So fun!!! Thanks for taking time to talk with me!!! What a joy to connect with you!!! 💕💕
Kristi Clover thanks for the years of great info and for coming on the show and letting me fangirl ❤️
Please share your skype or add me on rita.tavares.ef - I need help on how to start homeschooling from scratch
Kristi's smile is so beautiful. Thanks for the video.
I want to start homeschool for my kids I need help !!!
Militza Casas check face book groups
I’m with you! It can be a bit overwhelming.
For someone who did not do well in school you are fabulous and have great energy! My dilemma is my son is autistic, but high functioning. I just don’t know if it would hurt him to lose the help that he receives now. We moved to Texas and I really miss his school in MA. It’s not the same here. I’m at a crossroad here and I truly do not know what to do.
Came here for some actual information and tips and tricks.... Left with a whole bunch of life story and chit chat.... Thnx but no thnx
2 of my favorite ladies in ONE video! I have a home business, too. It can be done!! Kristi was such a huge help to me through her videos when I stared homeschooling my first year. Her organization videos are AH-MAZ-ING.
The Handmade Homeschooler - Mandy Maltz I completely agree. She is an organization queen!
We're only two years into homeschooling. I saw "we," but my bride does the daily in-and-out work. She's realized that it's okay to mix-and-match curriculum. It's a struggle to find balance
Mix and matching various curriculums is actually the best way to do it. I homeschooled my son and now I’m helping him with homeschooling his son, my grandson. 3 generations of men doing the homeschooling lol
This is good 😊 other videos I have seen are vague. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative. Gratitude.
We are now enjoying our homeschooling journey. We shall be posting our homeschooling videos in our channel.
We are born again Christians and desire to have my daughter home-schooled for religious reasons my daughter is noticing that not everybody wants to discuss Jesus in school and it hurts her but that's not just the only reason so having videos like these are really helping me put my foot in the door of beginning homeschool for her thanks for sharing
I'm here for you Shannon. I know what thats like too ;)
It’s the same with my son and grandson. Yes our Christian Faith is part of why we are homeschooling but we have other reasons as well.
Being able to give my grandson a better education is a big part of it. Being able to personalize the curriculum to his needs and strengths is another reason.
We will keep you in our daily prayers.
Cheers
People don't want to discuss Jesus in school because religious beliefs should not be in public schools. They are people who don't believe in any of that. Others have other religions/ beliefs.
How about homeschool dads??
It won’t let me into the course. :( my internet says the website is expired...
ACE Paces is what works for us!
?? So let's say I'm going to have the boy homeschool this year coming. What does a person literally do? Do I need to call the state (that thinks they own our children) and tell them or the school board? And are there places to send test scores? I really do not know these very first beginning steps.. All I know is a child can watch a monkey and learn more than public school offers. Hope I don't come across blunt but Homeschool sounds great. Not sure how to activate the process.
How to, I have followed you from think media.
I want to homeschooling my son don't know where to start and wat the best homeschooling to sign up in MD
Just came across you guys hope I can garner some more fire to go forward.
First to comment! Now I will watch your video. Hopefully it will give me ideas since I am planning to make a similar video in Spanish! BTW Love your hair like that! Blessings!
thanks for watching!!!
Spreading Love and Smiles to Ya Channel ☺️
Kristie Clover!!! She was at a Homeschool convention hosting a blogging seminar, amazing!
She is amazing!
I love this video! I love how you are making videos very think media/ video influencer way. Thank you for sharing. I am new to homeschooling and youtube and I just love your videos.
thanks for watching! Think Media is the company I run so doing videos this way is way more natural :)
Heather Torres oh yes sorry I was aware you run that. I meant it in a positive way. I love your videos. Interviews are some of my favorite videos to watch. :)
I have a landscaping company and am starting homeschooling my 5 kiddos. Do you have any advice?
I have more videos coming your way.
What is her suggestions with struggling readers???!!! Exhausted momma here.
Great question - I will send it to her to see if she has a video about it. :)
i'm not an expert (i'm only a teenager) but i'd say just let them read what they want even if that is graphic novels (i have some story heavy/lighthearted recommendations for teenagers like me if you want them). eventually they might go on to novels but i'd say PLEASE don't force it, it'll only make them want to rebel and want to read less. sorry if i rambled i'm just passionate about good books lmao
is there any requirements in order for you to be able to get homeschooled? for example like good grades?
Each state has different requirements.
Can you do a curriculum update? How are your choices working for your family?
yes! I will do one soon!
Great interview! I've used Kristie's organization tips for years!
That Homeschool Life she is amazing!
@@HeatherTorresTV I first found you on Think Media and thought you did a fantastic job interviewing. Didn't know you were a homeschooler until later in the video. Thought you were a reporter. lol Love your video production. I can tell you've been working with Sean!
Thanks for the tips and resources! I am considering homeschooling... I think these resources are gonna be helpful making my decision!
I homeschooled my son 25 years ago and now he is about to start homeschooling his son (my grandson) and I’m going to help him as much as I can.
It seems that a lot has changed in the decades since I homeschooled my son. It’s almost like I have no idea how to go about it lol.
So I’m trying to access as much information as I can starting with this video and the links I see in the drop down menu.
Thank you in advance for all of your help, I really do appreciate it.
Cheers

awesome! very inspiring. new sub here!
Can you tell me, I am a homeschooling mom and my oldest is 6. I am looking for history books and I looked into David Barton and initially liked one of his videos but just read that he is not a historian and that he is a quack historian with flawed research. Can you tell me your research or opinion? Please like this comment if you reply so I can see if you replied, thank you.
Hi, I saw your comment on this video because I'm preparing to homeschool my 6yr old. How long have you homeschooled? Is it challenging? Did create lesson plans? Please let me know,thanks!
This is such a great video! I love both your energy and enthusiasm!
Love this video!!!!
You both are amazing! 👍👍
also, do you need to pay for homeschooling?
you dont have to in your state but you might want to invest in things for your kids
