Their Opinion Should Matter, but Not Too Much!

Jan 28, 2021
 
When it comes to opinions our kids are FULL of them, right!?
 
It is important that they know their opinions matter, their thoughts count and their ideas are worthy... but not so much that they think they are the center of the world.
 
(Watch the 15 minute full teaching above for all the goods or read the short version if you are next to a sleeping person.😴)
 
Worth. It always comes down to worth.
 
I am guessing you, like me, want to build worth into your...

Taking Patience OUT of the Equation!

Dec 20, 2020
 

We have all been there, right?

Time and time again it has been proven that if we rely on patience it will 9 times out of 10 fail us.  As a species it is just not one of our strong suits and, let's be honest, the world today plays into our lack of this attribute even more.

So, let's just kick this unpredictable friend out of the equation when if comes to schooling at home, shall we?  

I want to note that we have a lifetime to work on patience and we always should be, but we have...

You are NOT Average and It's A Good Thing!

Nov 12, 2020
 

In this world it is easy to believe that the average is the way to go, but I ask...

What is Average?

You know what it isn't?

A REAL Person! 

The average of 2 and 6 is 4, right?

But, guess what? 

Neither the 2 or the 6 will ever be a 4.  Never.  There will have to be compromises to 6 and 2 in order to try and be a 4.  

Let your unique you, your unique kids and your unique schooling situation echo you!

Can you imagine what it would be like to have your kids have self controlled behavior?  What about making good choices in middle, high school and college and into adulthood?

Oct 27, 2020
 

You know what my self talk was after I recorded this video for you?  

The world will not let me have a proper video with house work, garbage trucks, city edgers etc.  

Was that true? 

Of course not.  Just a bad timing happenstance... but it can easily feel like that way unless we put a stop to it with the first of these self-talk questions.

Is This REALLY True?

I was tempted to re-record this video for you, but it would have defeated the whole purpose of...

Connecting with people.
