      Though its a STRUGGLE for me to get up early, when I do it makes a HUGE difference to get up an hr to 2hrs before the kids to pray, study the bible, and journal. Then make breakfast and start the day. I NEED alone time and many days I do not get enough of it and I suffer which translates into the environment of our home and homeschool. I have to remind myself to love the "mud" instead of getting angry and frustrated over little things, I should measure how big of a deal it really is and be calm and happy to spend time with the kids, I. need to let go and let God.

      I homeschooled for nine years and now have the beautiful privilege of raising (adopting) and homeschooling my grandson. You are so right. My nine years each looked different and it was great. Learning to breathe and find the educational value in games and other activities really helped. Education does not just come from books.

      I record keep after they do the task and I write all that is done and accomplished! Even if it’s my two year old counted and then played legos. It’s been lovely to see what we accomplish and not just (what we DIDN’T do)

      Accepting that some days, no matter how much I planned, just wont go the way I hoped.
      I woke up today and knew the moment I poured my coffee...today was just not going to happen the way I wanted. All of the lessons I had planned out just didnt happen today!
      After having multiple of these types of days, I have learned I am not the planning homeschool mom I thought I would be. I CANNOT plan ahead. Our most successful and happy days are the days I did not make tons of plans.
      So I am working on embracing the way WE do homeschool. Working on just slowing down on certain topics instead of sticking to a schedule.

    I am a homeschool aunt. I never liked my nieces and nephew learning experience in public school and when the pandemic hit their mom finally agreed to let me homeschool them. It was hard in the beginning but ever since I learned to not compare or go with the local schools timing of what needs to be learned at what time of the year and tried reversed record keeping I have found so much peace and happiness in our homeschool. My nieces and nephew are thriving surpassing all my expectations. We piece together a lot of different things for our curriculum but most of all we love learning from nature and cultures around us and reading. Life is so much more full when I let go of all the pressure.

    I literally binged watched all your videos last year in preparation for homeschooling. I sorted them from oldest to newest and just went down the line. Your whole energy and perspective when it comes to homeschooling is so relaxing and inspiring. It really helped calm my nerves and give me confidence that I could do it. To go with the flow of life and find flexibility. Homeschool is not public school AND THATS OKAY. (I mean I know that’s the whole point of homeschool 😂 but I mean the schedule of homeschool is not like public school). Think outside the box! Your videos have helped me so much. Thank you!! 🧡🧡🧡

    You read mt mind and took all the words from my mouth. I have been worried the whole week last week and suddenly on Monday, after resuming my midnight prayers I felt this sense of calm and I figured, ''Hey .. this is the Devil trying to intimidate me. I know I am doing great. The Lord is with us everyday and that's all that matters.'' Thank you so much for this video.

    We slowed down a lot this year. We threw out grade levels and just said we are going to do us and not worry about staying on grade levels. We are basically redoing 5th grade but it has been so beneficial for my youngest and has given him so much confidence. It’s ok to slow down and not follow the “norm”! Thank you for using your platform to let everyone know that’s it’s ok!

    This video was so helpful and encouraging as a new homeschool mama. I've put lots of pressure on myself to not get it wrong, mess up or even thinking about pressures from what I see or hear. Sometimes it's me listening concerning thoughts in my mind.....I'm actually just starting reverse record keeping based on one of your recent videos and I'm enjoying that so far. I still plan Bible and and science to help me stay organized but with everything else its definitely freeing.

    You are so encouraging! I’ve watched all of your videos. I jumped into this with the intention of possibly putting my son back in public school next year. I wanted to keep our homeschool similar to public school so it was an easy transition for him. We quickly realized we will continue on this journey, so I took inventory in December. Anything that didn’t bring joy to our homeschool was dumped. It was hard because part of what we dumped was Abeka LA and it was a nice chunk of $. Peace and joy in our homeschool is so much more important to me than the money. Honestly, we haven’t looked back. A huge part of that is because of your encouragement and wisdom. Thank you!

It was great the first week and then everything crumbled because I pushed. I finally took a step back and re-evaluated. Now we are a go with the flow homeschool family and my girls have done amazing! My six year old asks to do school on the weekends. It doesn’t work for a lot of people, but for us it has been the greatest blessing. Thank you for this! 💓

    Thanks for the encouragement! I can't wait to grab that book and work on taking inventory in our homeschool. Like so many things, I have found that it's my own unrealistic and rigid expectations that drain the joy and contentment. It's a continual process to remind myself to lay down my expectations of myself and my kids (and specific to our first year homeschooling, my comparison to public schools, grade levels, standards, etc) and stay present and mindful. I needed that reminder to stop pushing just for the sake of pushing on!

    This video brought me to tears 😭 thank you so very much for this video. I so needed to hear everything you said! I’ve been homeschooling for 5 months and there have been many times that I just want to give up, and then I remind myself why I’m doing what I’m doing. Thank you! You’re so inspiring❤️

    What an amazing encouraging video!!
    This is our first year homeschooling and I’ve already learned so much.
    I definitely needed this today❤️❤️
    We plan on doing the reverse record keeping for the 21-22 school year! We stuck to a “schedule” this year and it’s been so stressful, down to personalizing my planner to a curriculum and then we changed curriculum🤦🏼‍♀️ so now we’re just recording attendance for the rest of this year.
    Thank you so much for this video!

    I absolutely adore you! I’ve always known I wanted to homeschool. This is our first year, you have helped me so very much. I’m so much more comfortable in my decisions. I do a lot of things like you do, and you give me such confidence that I’m making the right choices. Thank you for always be a great encourager!

    I've always done reverse record keeping, it works for us i guess because we're a very flexible family. I couldn't imagine planning our whole year out, we couldn't stick to it!

    I love that ur preaching to urself as well as us!!! I love Reverse record keeping. We have to do lists instead of plans. I couldn’t use just one curriculum unless they seem just wats needed. Kids need a good foundation!!! We never read the Belgien Twins as there was no Motivation so I allowed a different Book. We can do different geography. I learnt reflectionive teaching in college. It’s awesome!!! Sorry I can’t spell.

      How do you decide when to take a day off or know when you just need to get outside? Bc my children will figure out if they push me long enough they will have a few days off! lol! no kidding, so I am trying to learn boundaries since it is our first year homeschooling both kids, finding grace, and figuring this out. I have a 2nd grader and a 7th grader, 2nd grader with learning differences, and hyperness.

    • @SimplyLivingIt
      @SimplyLivingIt  3 роки тому

      Mama...you will find your groove. For me...I can feel it all around. I don't take a break cause things get crazy...I take a break when I can feel it in my bones. Sounds weird...but true. I just know in my heart when it is time to step away. Kids push back...and that's totally normal!!! My kids don't want to or look forward to school, they just know what's expected of them. Then...I throw on a little curveball and give us ALL A BREAK!!!! SURPRISE! 😂🤣😂 Hahaha!

    I realized trying to plan was stressing me out so much unnecessarily! I started reverse record keeping and it works so much better for us!! Love your videos, your insight and your encouragement! I’m so bad about getting caught up in followings guide or “pushing” like you described. I have to remind myself there is no race and just enjoy the journey!!

    This is my 2nd year homeschool but I'm not doing it with a online academy. We are really rural and on satellite internet. So finding the right thing is tricky. We are with Time 4 Learning my boys who are special needs. So far working good especially with moving to a new state last fall.

    Thank you!! I needed this video and wasn't planning on clicking on it tonight. I am so glad I did. I can see how reverse record keeping and not pushing would work so well hand in hand. I plan as if my children and I are robots that will wake in a perfect mood and do school perfectly. It of course doesn't work out that way and then I am stuck to a plan and pushing forward no matter what. I am going to try and turn that around. I think it would also be so positive to write down what we accomplished instead of crossing out what we didn't. Thank you! Trying to remember to breath is difficult some days!
