Definitely had people tell me that I’m rude because I tell them if we want to get together that we will need to schedule it. I’ve just learned to turn off all sounds on my phone except for emergency calls - and my husband. Also the emotional bandwidth that can come from people texting can be a lot. Also - I have learned the people with the fewest boundaries have the most explosive response to yours. They understand them the least - and most often will think you’re “being mean.” It happens, just keep being kind 💕 but firm and they will actually understand or they aren’t a super great relationship anyway.
I just turn my ringer off and send to voicemail 😂 But I’ve always done that. I need time to process and think before I talk to certain people, especially if they are going to ask me a question or ask a favor. I call them back when I have the time. It has been my experience that we “train” (for lack of a better term) people how to treat and interact with us so for me, it has already been made clear to my circle of people that I will probably not answer my phone if you call, but I will get back to you when I can. The same goes with text messages. Just because we all have mobile phones now doesn’t automatically give you immediate and on-demand access to me. Or anyone else for that matter. I know that could sound a bit harsh, but there are some dense individuals out there these days 😅❤
Turning off notifications, disconnecting Wi-Fi, putting your phone on silent or in a remote location are other options that might work for someone. In this time we live in, everyone wants your attention, your time, and it is difficult to deal with distractions and be able to focus on what is truly important.
Absolutely loving the new channel! 💫 It’s nice to go straight for your wonderful homeschool content when that’s what I’m looking for and the homesteading on your other channel. Thank you Shayla for taking time out to share with others 💕. I am a homesteading homeschool momma in the Ozarks. I agree with the misunderstandings of others. In my current season of life my focus is my children’s education as well as the many responsibilities of taking care of my family. Many blessings y’all, Linda
I’m so thankful I found your channel! I have 5 kids ages 1-11, so you’re certainly farther along in the journey of homeschooling a wide range of ages and your knowledge is so valuable! I also have ADHD and 3 of my kids have learning differences, so I’m thankful for your openness in sharing what you’ve learned.
Hi Shayla, Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. I'm going to be homeschooling my 3rd grader starting this year, and I really needed to hear this. I will definitely take your words to heart. ❤
I have to keep my phone on “do not disturb” during schooling times for this very reason. I tend to feel obligated to answer or respond when my phone chimes, so it’s easier for me to not hear it at all.

This is solid advice and I have been learning to do this these past couple of years, the way you worded it was perfect! Thank you for your comment

Hi Shayla, have a great week. My children are grown but I still love watching these videos.

Thank you so much! Kids all grown up and no longer homeschooling, but I work from home & office still full-time and it applies to that as well.
