Such a powerful interview Leslie is amazing! She truly is a game changer in the world of homeschooling. Her book is so rich and goes to those deep places that we don't want to address. I absolutely love her!

I learned some small ways to implement getting healthier.

You work so hard on these and I feel like they just don't get enough attention. Such good stuff! I love the E. Matrix and creating before consuming in the morning. Such a happy thought! I love it! Thanks for the information and inspiration!

Where do we buy this

Hi! Question on form 2 dictation…. Does the teacher book or the schedule tell us what passage we need to read to them for which day? Or is it always whatever passage is that week? I really want to do this curriculum but feeling overwhelmed because I don’t have a teaching background

This was a really great show. I have a seven-year-old that is very resistant to reading. I took notes about some really great things you guys discussed and I am hopeful to start implementing them during our next reading session. Thanks for putting this out there!

Thank you for sharing this video❤! It answered so many if my prayers! I’m praising Jesus ❤ He is so faithful🙌🏼🙌🏼

what is the title and author of this book?

What are the episode numbers of the podcasts you mentioned on dyslexia? This will be our first year using AGF and my oldest daughter (form II age 11) is dyslexic. I would really like to hear them!! :)

Your website said it is out of stock! When is it going to be in stock again?

Thank you Julie for always working so hard to make sure we have what we need and for making your products better and better all the time! I know you put your heart and soul into this and it shows! I just ordered cycle 3 today And I am getting excited about next year! I was just praying for you and your family today. May God bless you greatly for all your hard work on such a valuable product!

I enjoyed the content here but i almost wish I could hear someone's opinion on good consequences for when they are resisting school. I know she said you can get creative and administer loving consequences but I just dont know what to do that wouldn't be too harsh or too unrelated to the problem. My 7 yr old comes to school every say with a bad attitude initially but then will do the work after a struggle. I've tried setting up rewards for doing well, time outs..... nothing has changed what is going on. :( I do need to try prayer and ask God to show me what will work because I'm at a loss. To be clear, we homeschool using A Gentle Feast and it's not those subjects he throws a fit for. Just reading and math, which *feel to him like an interruption of play time. The other subjects we do over a meal.

To what extent are you involved in the drafting stage?

Thank you!

Just Awesome !👌

Inner critic lives "to keep me safe." This is interesting. I am familiar with having to fight the half- truths of the enemy. This however, is a new approach to me. I am critical and fault-finding of myself....fascinating statistic the 85% of our myriad thoughts per day are negative. Thank you for the practical ideas to hold a self-critical thought to ask if it is serving me. I long to show up for my children with a full cup...I think I will try this. Thank you, Julie!

Looking forward to this video.

Thank you so much for this timely encouragement. I struggle with several chronic illnesses, and I am home schooling my 3 children, so this was very much needed and appreciated ❤️.

How would you suggest asking for help? I find that to ask for help, I need to know what I need and show what needs to be done. When I do ask for help, I feel flooded and stressed out by extra people or stuff going on and so I usually feel like it's too much and just don't ask.

This was so helpful in deciding the direction of our homeschool. I've felt God calling me to simplify. I'm burnt out and going into our 5th year of homeschooling. This year I will have a 10th, 5th, 1st and two littles that are 4 and almost 3 years old. I don't ever plan on throwing in the towel on this lifestyle, so staying burnt out just isn't an option! A change is necessary! Thank you, Julie, for creating and sharing A Gentle Feast.

Christy.... What is your view on non public schools for emotional disturbance or mood disorders?

Thanks for sharing, can't wait to check it out!! ❤️

10:36 Why should we study this?

Thank you so much for these quick reminders of what a Charlotte Mason education is not. I am hoping to convince my daughter and son-in-law to let me homeschool my grandson next year. He loves being out in nature and building things, and has such a wide range of interests that I am sure the "feast" of a Mason education will be perfect for him.

Doesn’t sound like he has good phonetic awareness. Did he learn successfully with this or did you have to supplement

Such an encouraging episode! I really enjoyed this and want to read her book:)

Is 7th grade too late to start Charlotte Mason style teaching? It seems a lot of her foundational teachings start in elementary age.

This was great! Thank you! Can’t wait to read the book 😊

We read Heidi within this last year, too. One of my unexpected takeaways was that it's perfectly fine for lunch to be based around wholesome bread and fresh cheese, lol. I remember being in college, and one of my friends and I would often get a small bag of rolls (typically whole wheat) and a package of sliced provolone cheese and split them between us for lunch. Sometimes we'd have some juice, sometimes just water, to wash it down. As a mama now, I can't help but think, "Put some grapes or an apple in with it!" 😄 Sometimes we did, sometimes just bread and cheese, but we didn't feel deprived. As I was reading Heidi with the kids, I couldn't help but think of the pressure we sometimes feel to make big, elaborate meals, and while we do need to meet the children's needs for nutrients and calories, that doesn't mean every meal has to be fancy. Paraphrasing from Laura Ingalls Wilder, sometimes, the simple things really are the best.

Thank you so much for these high school series. I'm new to the CMM & had concerns about using this method in a few years when my daughter enters high school. This really answered a lot of questions I had. My husband & I talked as we planned our current homeschool year of what our goals were for our daughter of being prepared for life 1st & college if she desires. Love how you shared multiple times that CMM is preparing a child for life. Thank you again for this series!!

Loved this ❤

As an SLP turned homeschool mom, I LOVE this. The focus on the phoneme and variety of input (tactile, auditory, visual, etc) is perfect! Looking forward to using this with my 4 year old.

Wow. This is helpful. I was expecting this to be for just homeschooling, but what you said about the smoking group, that got to me. I have COPD and I just had pneumonia on top of that, which I now HAVE to stop smoking for health reasons. But when you said one group said, "No thank you, I'm not a smoker", that turned on the light bulb for me. I am one who says "I'm trying to quit", instead of saying "I don't smoke". I wasn't expecting this. Thank you!

This is very helpful!

I really enjoyed this podcast. I listened to it while mopping and doing dishes (they are not yet habits, but a necessity). :) I am now following both podcasts. Thank you, ladies!

Julie, we must be the same age-I was absolutely achieving in school for scratch n sniff stickers. 😂

This was so good! Something that we all need. Thank you so much for sharing.

Yay Jenna! So proud of you.
