Parents, They're Coming For Our Children. Beware!

Parents, They're Coming For Our Children. Beware!

Our children are our responsibility. Our rights as parents aren't opposed to the rights of our children. We should not relinquish our role to the state. To do so will have dire consequences. Listen as I chat with Mrs. Rebekha Ali Gouveia and Dr. Nancy Coppola about the CSE and the sinister plans afoot for our children. Learn about the alternative option that we have to teach them SEXUAL RISK AVOIDANCE as opposed to SEXUAL RISK REDUCTION. Website for optimal youth health project: thehealthwiseteen.com/

Homeschooling With A Biblical Worldview with Lindon and Ann Marie Mitchel

Homeschooling With A Biblical Worldview with Lindon and Ann Marie Mitchel

What is a biblical world view? That question is answered by our guests in today's episode. Many times homeschoolers are accused of raising their children in a bubble. Christian homeschoolers have even been accused of actually brainwashing their children with all that "religious hogwash." When you hear what many of us are about you will see that the sound values and morals that most people try to live by are in fact biblical. These values are rooted in scripture and help to mold our children to become upstanding, moral contributing members within the society we live. It makes for a better, more peaceful world when you think about it. So if anything many more people should be thanking us😊. What view are you raising or homeschooling your children with? Thanks so much for listening.

Parents, The Greatest Influencers EVER! With Rev Dr Iva Camille Gloudon Part 1

Parents, The Greatest Influencers EVER! With Rev Dr Iva Camille Gloudon Part 1

With SEA (Secondary Entrance Assessment) just around the corner, many are putting an insane amount of pressure on their children to do well. They fear that if they don't pass for their first choice, usually a prestigious college or convent, their chances for success will be ruined.
In today's episode, we hear how my guest was "home educated" by her parents even while in the conventional system putting to bed the idea that it's impossible to do so.
Hear how she was able to do academically well while maintaining balance and having the freedom with her parents' support, to pursue her passion for her chosen sport. That passion has afforded her some amazing opportunities despite the fact that she didn't attend one of the sought-after "prestige" schools.
This is a lesson for us all as it further cements the Bible verse that speaks about the fact that your giftings and talents will make room for you.

This is only part 1 of the interview, join us next week as we chat some more with our esteemed guest.

Thanks so much for listening.

Is There Life After Homeschooling? With Bernadette Francis

Many people are now becoming enamored with the idea of homeschooling.

Some have, but in the midst of mathematics, vocabulary, housework, and errands wonder if they would have a life after they've committed years to this journey. Join me as I chat with my good friend Bernadette, no stranger to this podcast, on this very important topic. I hope you are encouraged by this final episode of the season.

Without the pressure of conventional school commitments, these "kidpreneurs" have ample opportunity to perfect their craft and hone in on their skills. 

In this week's episode, I chat with Donnamarie a new homeschooling mom, who like many, was very apprehensive about taking the plunge. After several conversations with me and completing her research, she took the leap of faith and is enjoying this new chapter in life.

Giving Thanks

Giving Thanks

It is so important for us to give thanks. 

As we begin to wind down this season, I share a little bit about our family's tradition for the past 10 years. With all that has happened this year, this Thanksgiving, whether you usually celebrate it or not should be especially meaningful.

Matters Of The Womb

Matters Of The Womb

In this episode, we chat about a parenting matter that I am all too familiar with. 

People can be rather intrusive. 

If you have one child they ask when are you going to fix that. 

If you have multiple they want to know when you plan to stop. 

In today's episode, I share one of my blog posts entitled, "Little Did They Know." I hope it encourages you today.

Missing Our Field Trips

Missing Our Field Trips

An episode on field trips was suggested by our eldest because according to him, it was an integral part of his homeschooling journey. 

In this episode, I talk about what our most imminent "field trips" are, even though we won't be venturing outside of the home to do it due to Covid restrictions. We have been enjoying virtual tours, not the same, I know. One of our boasts as Homeschoolers is that we have the freedom to do field trips as often as we wish. 

I shared two "camp out" ideas that we have planned and hope to hear from you about what you are up to and more importantly what topics you would like me to discuss in future episodes.

Beware of Sacrificing Your Marriage With Barbara Manswell

Beware of Sacrificing Your Marriage With Barbara Manswell

Many parents have either recently embarked on the homeschooling journey or have been even more engaged with their children's education thanks to virtual learning. 

This has taken a toll on many parents especially the ones new to homeschooling and virtual learning. 

In this week's episode, I chat with my good friend and fellow homeschooling veteran about the dangers of sacrificing your marriage on the altar of homeschooling. While we may rightfully want the very best for our children in education and life in general, one of the best things we can give them is the security that comes from a solid relationship between their parents.

Educating Through Different Lens

Educating Through Different Lens

When making the decision first of all it needs to be just that YOUR decision. 

Because, while I may sing its praises and share from my experience and occasionally from that of others at the end of the day, it is you and your family that needs to decide what's best for the parties involved. 

Additionally, many are daunted by the idea of homeschooling mainly because they fall short in the area of patience or after being blindsided by the pandemic or crisis schooling feel more intimidated than ever before. Listen to this week's episode to learn more about the difference between the two and why we need to view the education of our children through a different lens.
