I am praising God because he is working through your channel. This was encouraging. I appreciate your demeanor, advice and simplicity of explanation. I am a first generation homeschool mom and your channel has helped me understand so much more. So I thank you for taking the time share the wisdom you have gleaned.
Got teary eyed at 3:05. This is my second year with my son at home he did virtual learning 1st yr and today he started home schooling with me and was so excited that I was going to be his teacher. I went to school pregnant and worked full-time, I felt like i missed 10 years of his life. I finally have a chance to be with my baby and teach him, we are blessed financially now and I am given time to finally raise him.
Oh dear friend. Thank you so much for this video! I cried specially in your tip # 5 "Give Yourself Grace" love it and reminds me that I have to rest in God's arms and that it is going to be ok. Thank you! I love your videos. God bless you!
It’s okay. I am just going to pick myself up and try again tomorrow.“ Thank you so much for that quote! Unfortunately it seems like I have to say that to myself way too often 😞
You are like an angel walking God's natural red carpet on Earth in this video - everything is so beautiful! Thank you so much for the pep talk in Tip 5! It's exactly everything I needed to hear in this moment as I prepare to start homeschooling my four year old. I'm so grateful I found your channel.
I came across your channel a yr ago when I was consider homeschool. I am already in my first yr and it's no coincidence I came across you again. I definitely needed to hear this video. Helped boots my mommy/teacher confidence! Keep being that light God has called you to be for us mommas! God bless you.❤
that view blows me away. its what I hope to see in heaven some day. my kids would love to play out there. weve been locked in our tiny apartment because its 116 degrees out plus a 22 yr old woman was shot dead right outside our unit last week. its second shooting this month. we wish we could go outside and just play. One day ill have a beautiful view like this to go outside with my kids and play.
Absolutely loved this! September was our first month ever of homeschooling and I absolutely agree with your second point. I’ve realized that building our relationship or also, helping them regulate emotions, has been so important. Because if the emotional vibe is off, if we’re mad or frustrated, the learning stops no matter how much you try to force it. Great tips! ❤️
We all have things we worry that we will mess up as parents and homeschoolers! It takes a while to learn to trust your gut and trust that the Lord will work it all out! Hang in there. ☺️
just had to say, don't forget about us homeschool dads, lol. thank you for all of the videos you shared they have been extremely helpful, wish me luck.
Thank you so much. I feel blessed that I was led to your channel. As a first time homeschooler to my 2 grandchildren, I needed this encouragement. I subscribed to your channel. 😊
Thank you for sharing this. Even in my 4th year of homeschooling I still feel like I’m working to figure out what works for us. These tips are an amazing reminder about what is most important. Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much. 💓 I have just started looking into this journey. I am so glad I found your videos. I feel like I am definitely in the right place 😌 🙌 🙏
Erin, I am so grateful to have found you, as with so many other parents who have commented! Although we can often just read the comments as comments, it’s beautiful to realize that there are real people, amazing lives being formed and established and blessed. People trying to find meaning and live out their lives as they feel led to and they are drawn to your channel to do so. There is something unique about you and your channel and I love your heart for what you do. It is so obvious that you are genuine and have a love for not only your beautiful family but everything else that God has called you to. With much gratitude in my heart and blessings to you.
Thank you so much for that wonderful encouragement, Charlene! All Glory to God, I’m just a vessel and I pray He uses me to reach others with His truth and peace! 1 Thessalonians 5:11
I am soooo thankful to have found you! Everything you have mentioned is something i have found has been working on my heart and you just put it so clearly out in words! Thank you soo much!!
Thank you 🙏. I am a new homeschool mom of just 7 years old 2 weeks ago twin boys. I needed this so much because the first day was good and day 2 that I watched this awesome video was so not good. They have a really hard time listening. I am trying to make it fun and learning. After we came back in the house from a 2 1/2 hour break on a beautiful day I got out a sight word race game and it did not go well. Do you have any videos on 1st grade work? By the way I love your log cabin!
I don't have anything specifically about 1st grade. I'm really big on just working from where you child is at, regardless of "grade" level, so we don't always have curriculum that lines up with grade level. I think that's really an individual thing for each child. Blessings!
You are so right!! It’s all so confusing! Thankful we have the relationship party down though. Just need to get a good rhythm to our day. I’m very unschooly-Charlotte Masoney-waldorfy haha
How do you divide yourself or prepare for FOUR kids in a week? How do you have time for house things? This is like your full time job or do you have something for you, hobby, work or just family and home?
There are definitely things that I’m not able to stay on top of as much as I’d like as far as housework, being in top of getting the kids to help is vital for that component. Now that my kids are getting older, I do have more time for myself, and making these videos is one of my hobbies! 😉 Most of what we do for school is pretty open and go and independent so I don’t really have to do much prep work. It probably takes me about 45 minutes on the weekend to make my kids planning pages for the week and then do most things on their own. I have this video that shows what a normal day is like to see how it works with 4 kids. How I Homeschool 4 Kids | Our Homeschool Routine th-cam.com/video/5uMQyTjLm7g/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much@@TheEclecticHomeschooler I am sure becoming a follower, your information is really valuable. I am considering homeschooling because we are living in another country and the residency visa is becoming an issue, so, I believe this can be a good solution.

Honestly...thank you! Your words remind me to be kind to myself when it feels like it is all falling apart.
So glad that this blessed you! 🥰 Hang in there, mama! What you’re building is meaningful and precious!

you are right. But saying yes when you have work and dinner etc and are exhausted is hard
Agreed! I certainly don’t mean ALL the time! Just a little more often. ☺️
@@TheEclecticHomeschooler I find your videos very supportive and kind. Thank you
Great video hun ❤️
Thanks! 🥰
How do you build the relationship with your kids? This is our first year homeschooling and we are not as far along in the lessons as we should.
So grateful I've found your channel. "Give yourself grace" was the part I needed the most. Thank you. 🤍
