I laughed out loud watching this 😂 I think your sister gave the most blunt and realistic description of what it’s like to homeschool little ones. Thank you for making me feel more human!
Haha, I agree! You're welcome :), I'm glad this encouraged you!
Same here. ❤
Oh man this speaks to my soul. 😂 I have five who are nine and under, and I can relate with “It’s really bad.” This encourages me to pick up our morning basket again. ☺️
So glad to hear that!
I very much enjoyed and I thank you both for your authenticity.
Our pleasure!
Thank you for this! I am an only child who is now mother to 3 kids under 5. I have no idea what reasonable expectations for family life are, so I spend a lot of time stressing that something is wrong because things “shouldn’t” be so crazy around here! If I could just stop worrying and feel confident that this is just how it is with all these kids, then I could probably relax and enjoy it more.
I love all your content on life/homeschooling with all littles. I need all the help I can get!
Aww, thank you so much! I'm so glad my content has helped you! I can relate. I came from a family with four kids, but as more children came along it was a new step to learn how to manage it all and to have realistic expectations. Yes, relax and enjoy it. I know that's easy to say, but it's so important!
It’s a little chaotic here too. I have ages 3-9. Some morning and Bible time is like climbing an ice hill :) but it’s good, and they conversations and talks about Jesus that come out are worth the challenges. And we are setting the tone for the rest of their time at home. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Yes, haha, I can relate! Not easy, but worth the daily investment!
This was so helpful to hear from someone with lots of little ones, thank you!! 🖤 Also loved how real you both are. Thank you!!
So glad! You're welcome! :)
"It looks really bad" 😂
I enjoyed this so much! My youngest is almost 8 but my kids all have special needs (adopted) and so it often feels like I am still in the "littles" phase. This was encouraging.
Haha, yep! So glad to hear that this encouraged you!
Wow please thank Joe I’m a homeschooling mam of 4 7 and under (pregnant still with 4th) from ireland and I find her honesty so refreshing and relatable. I completely agree with her and have adapted a practical system for us that can be done good days, bad days, etc. I’ve found your philosophy of just making progress every day to be the best benchmark for me.
For anyone interested that is in a similar situation with littles, I have a 7 yo boy with special education needs, a keen 4 year old girl, needy 2 year old girl and term on my 3rd girl. We do only Bible, maths and phonics every day and I try to do a read aloud of a book also. Our Bible most days is a family chapter a day at breakfast (my husband works remotely from home) and if not we will do a devotional dipper or a short teaching from a kids book I have about proverbs. We probably should be doing more but I have a lot of Christian kids books for them to read and flick through throughout the day and when the time comes I do have a Bible curriculum I want to do, but for now this just works! For maths I follow a 7 workbook series by their school year and we do 1-2 pages a day. In their phonics, they similarly have workbooks to solidify phonics to get them reading well. They individually do a word sound a day and a work page for that and a short associated reading. We revise each day with flash cards. The curriculum I use jolly phonics is multi sensory which is great for all my kids but especially my boy with sensory issues. There is a hand motion, song, sound and visual for each letter sound/letter groupings and we’ve learned them off and combine them to remember the phonetics when reading. And then we leave it there! My son needs a lot of breaks whereas my 4 year old could do her work all day and my 2 year old just wants my attention constantly but most days I can keep her occupied and try to help her feel involved too. I have a lot of books on the shelves that encompass Bible, science and history and we have a sort of unschooling approach to those. I try to get them to help me out at home as much as possible but to be honest with pregnancy some days are more organised and idealistic than others! I try to point them to Christ every day. I fall short often and yes there can be tempers and sinful behaviour. I’m thankful for God’s grace and need to prioritise seeking Him more every day. But I love homeschooling and I’m thankful for my kids and opportunity I have with them.
I will tell her that! Thanks for sharing your ideas with others. We can all benefit from learning from each other!
❤❤❤❤
I appreciate your sister’s honesty 😅 no sugar coating but keeping the eye on the prize
Yes! Honesty and big picture perspective!
This was really great! Please tell your sister she's doing a GREAT job, and has a great attitude about homeschooling this age and stage of learning. As a mom who is beginning year 20 of homeschooling, this video was a blessing to watch. This would have been a great realistic encouragement to me just starting out! Thank you! ❤
Thank you! Will do! That means a lot coming from a 20 year homeschool mom! So glad you enjoyed this!
I love how real this is! Thanks for sharing your journey Jo. ~Rebecca
You are so welcome!
