As a Christian homeschool mom, Jesus needs to be your anchor. What you have said yes to when it comes to raising your children needs to be grounded and tethered to your Savior.

Over the years of homeschooling, I've had my shares of ups and downs and whether it's a high or low time, God's Word has kept me afloat. It's been a lifeline.

As I look back upon homeschooling children from preschool through high school, there were three verses that I kept going back to over and over again. And I want to share those with you in this episode.

May these verses encourage and inspire you...

You know how it goes...the homeschool mom puts in so much time and effort only for that to be met with a child who stares off into space, all the while with a very unfinished math worksheet in front of them.

This scenario is played out every day in homeschool homes all over. And even though you know that you are not alone in this plight, a little bit of help would be nice.

This episode is meant to give you some ideas and things to try as you attempt to motivate the child who takes forever to do homeschool.

Grab a chair...or add some soap to those dishes...and let's chat about it!

And I do not want that for you!

Let's pull back the layers of this question and expose the flaws within it. But then, I promise not to just leave you there feeling vulnerable. Let's link arms and grow your confidence in your abilities and what that means {in a very positive way} in the home education of your children.

When you chose to homeschool, you had grand ideas and assumptions about how it would go. And somewhere admist the curriculum, co-ops, and the many snack breaks, I have noticed a few ways that the home education tends to go awry.

No one plans to get off the rails of their homeschool plan, but in today's culture, even the most intentional homeschool mom can fall into a few common traps.

Let's pull back the curtain on 3 ways that I have seen homeschool moms at all stages of life and homeschooling get off track and go wrong. May this episode help you to see your children and their education in a new and better light!

338.Teaching Homeschoolers Writing Skills: Ideas That Don't End In Tears

As a Christian homeschool mom, you know that it is important to get "Bible time" each day and cover all the religious topics. But have you thought about how your faith impacts your children?

Unintentionally, we can have so much focus on our children that we ignore some hurdles and roadblocks that we have put in their way. Yes, God will use everything for our good and His glory. But what if just creating awareness could help? I think you'd jump at the chance for your faith to be inspiring and not a roadblock to your homeschoolers.

Today's episode will scratch the surface of the conversation. And then, I encourage you to spend time in prayer and in God's Word and see what areas of sanctification you can lean into.

At first, it feels like a dream come true to have a compliant child who just wants to be a help and keep mommy happy. And don't get me wrong because these are amazing children with kind hearts.

However, as an adult who is well-versed in the world, the homeschool mom quickly realizes that she must be on guard to protect this child and prepare them to establish their own healthy and safe boundaries as they get older.

Welcome to a three-part series specific to particular types of children that moms will often find themselves homeschooling. This episode targets the compliant child, but check out the previous two episodes for the rest of the series.

Too often, homeschool moms feel overwhelmed by raising and home educating a strong-willed child. They begin to question their ability to do so and seriously consider throwing in the towel.

Or the relationship between mom and child becomes contentious and leads to arguments, outbursts, and a fractured connection.

There is hope though! You and your strong-willed child can not only survive, but thrive during the homeschool years. It may not always be easy, but today's episode will give you the hope that you are so desperate for right now.

Give that strong-willed child a big hug and listen in for some advice from a mom who has been there, done that.

428.What Actually Needs To Get Done In Your Homeschool?

Welcome to the first in a three part series about specific types of personalities found in homeschool children. This is going to be a fun little series with tactical tips and encouragement about how God has created your child.

What to do about the fidgety child with lots of questions? They just keep on moving and have to touch everything...all while peppering you with why questions.

And you, the homeschool mom, are often tired and just want to get the homeschool lesson done for the day so you can move on. Meanwhile, your homeschooler is not making it "easy."

Soap up those dishes in the kitchen sink and give this a listen. My hope is that you gain insight to help you keep your patience while you homeschool your fidgety and curious child.

421.How Lists Help Me Not Lose My Mind As A Homeschool Mom

We all have those days that just don't start off on the right foot. Our attitude is a bit off and there is an inner {and sometimes outer} groan about the homeschool day ahead.

Every homeschool mom knows that the tasks before them are important, but it just doesn't feel like today is going to be a good day. And you find yourself here, listening to this episode.

Well, I'm glad you are here because my goal is to help you go from waking up with an "ugh!" feeling to then look back on the day as you climb into bed and be happy about how you were able to turn the day around.

It really isn't a matter of "if" you'll have these days, it's more like "when." But, don't settle for bad days when there are solutions to turning things around!

Let's have a little heart to heart...

Let's tackle a few questions submitted by homeschool moms, just like you. These topics cover homeschooling a strong-willed child, how many children to have, and broaching the discussion with your doctor about homeschooling.

I promise to share my honest thoughts and then, I want you to consider your own circumstances and pray for clarity to determine where you stand.
