I think it would be beneficial for kids to learn about the whole world and its history, not just America. Many things are done better in some other countries and learning about that could probably be helpful.

I started watching your videos around 7 years ago when Sandy was still a toddler in diapers. I was a student trying to build a stable situation to grow a family. These days I barely have the time to sit down and watch youtube. I'm a middle school teacher and a mom, and my life is very different from what I had imagined. It gives me very bitter-sweet feelings to see your children all grown, it's a reminder of how fast time goes. Whenever I have the time, I always come back to your channel.

I stopped watching after the first 11 seconds. I used to love these videos because Ellen was so authentic, but now the vids feel like she is trying so very hard to portray something, who knows what, an earth goddess or some such thing based on the first 11 seconds. I miss the old days of holes in favourite clothes that were still worn and realness. And then of course there are the thousand sales pitches. Unsubscribed.

I am starting to believe that you really think you are so smart and educated. You should not be talking about how far you are taking your children. Reading how children learn makes you able to speak to others what a good education looks like. NO it does not. Home schooling children are taught what you believe is best. Standards, research based learning, what does a child need to know and be able to do. Do you create lesson plans, choice boards, creative thinking, higher order thinking skills? Your older children are going to write an essay on Little Women and then watch the movie? 8-12 year olds. Are you Serious? An 8 year old writing an essay. What type of essay-opinion, informative, character analysis? I know this is not happening.

If someone would have asked me few years ago what would I'd like to be when I grew up I would have said YOU, I mean you are the reason why I gave birth at home, I became a vegan, I moved to Tahiti, your videos have shown me another way I had no chance to discover without the internet and KZbin. I am forever grateful that a woman from the other part of the world inspired me to choose my own path, my own way of living, without taking care of what people think. Without knowing it, you changed my life. You helped me going for newness and trust my gut that what you were showing was so full of light and common sense. One day I will fly to Hawaï thinking about the fact that you are there, and that from this place on earth you drove me where I am now. Un grand merci from a French new mam, happy 10 years vegan, naturopath, yoga teacher and so much more.

I am always so happy to see Moms and Dads read out loud to their children. My mother in law was a teacher; and always stressed the importance of it. Also when the older children can read really well; its good to encourage them to pick a book and read the their younger siblings. Reading out loud is a great skill to practice. A couple of my favorites that i read to my children, was The Secret Garden, The Little House series, The Incredible Journey, Anne of Green Gables. Happy reading!!!!
@michellesartori6695
@michellesartori6695 8 ай бұрын
I agree with everything you said! I absolutely adore the Little House series, and as a 14 year old I wrote my own version of the Ingalls family grown-up. It was read by students in my high school library with the permission of the librarian. I am 59 years old now, and school was a LONG time ago, and I sometimes wonder what happened to my book. As a mother of 5 adult children, I always read aloud to my children, and I loved it. When my grandson was born I started to read to him too and when he was a little older he would sleep with me and I would read at least 5 books, he's about 3 at this time, every night and I always looked forward to it. He and his mother lived with me until he was 10, so we read LOTS of books. Unfortunately he's grown up now and he'll be 19 soon and as my other 4 children have no desire to have children and my daughter only had the one, I no longer have anyone to read to and I miss it! Childhood lasts but for a fleeting moment, and then it's past, and I think parents should stop worrying about the little stuff and ENJOY their children, especially as they are having so few of them. Time is short, and soon you'll blink, and they'll be grown and gone! Take care now.

The Count of Monte Cristo was one of my favourite novels growing up, I'm so glad you're considering reading it to your kids! Such a gripping story and has a wonderful message about forgiveness at the end. The unabridged version might be a bit long to read out loud and can get a bit dark with the theme of revenge, but would highly recommend for the older kids. Have you read any Tolkien together? The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings actually began as a children's story Tolkien wrote for his four kids, which I find wonderful. I also used to love Greek mythology at their age, if you can find an age-appropriate version of the Odyssey it's such a wonderful introduction to classical history! Anything written by Michael Morpurgo is also brilliant, and I think you would really like Eye of the Wolf by Daniel Pennac

Just for any homeschooling parents out there looking for history curriculum, The Tuttle Twins series is not a great choice. It offers a very white-centric viewpoint and disregards the lived experiences of native, black, Hispanic, and Asian Americans. If you want a well-rounded history curriculum I recommend you keep looking for something else! :)

Don't introduce the classics when they are too young, I remember being in public school in the 9th grade (13 or 14 years old?) and had to struggle through Ivanhoe; being a girl it was incredibly boring to read and I know I was too young to really get any meaning or language appreciation. Same with Shakespeare -- I hate all of it to this day, because it was taught to us at an immature age. Wait! There are plenty of good stories that will nurture the kids' love of reading without being too heavy or boring.

Number the Stars by Louis Lowry is a great look at the Holocaust to talk about how we should treat others. I read it in 5th or 6th grade for school. The Giver, doing the right thing when everyone around you doesnt understand. Chronicles of Narnia are amazing and age appropriate Blessings on your homeschool journey!

From the creator of the tuttle twins books: "They are openly pushing socialism and woke-ism into the minds of our kids every day. Just recently, an elementary school in my community plastered the wall with the ABCs of socialist activism - teaching kids terms such as “W is for woke,” “S is for social justice,” and “A is for activist.” These radical messages work their way into school curriculum, movies, advertising, and social media platforms to persuade our impressionable children."

My youngest two who are about your youngest ages still love the Peppa books. As far as count of Monte Cristo as a whole version i personally tried to read it to my oldest 2 sons (who are about your oldest 2 sons ages) and they found it hard to get through so I bought the abridged versions of some classics and they grasp those better. Beowulf is one my oldest just did which he loved. There’s also James and the Giant peach which everyone loved and Fantastic Mr Fox that was a hit for all my 5 kiddos.

This video is so sweet. Your garden is looking beautiful, lovely to see you all working together out there. Your videos are such a breath of fresh air, I find myself smiling so happy for you and your family as I watch. We do living books too. We recently read aloud A Place to Hang the Moon (which we did a book club for) and also Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. We also did a book club for The Hobbit which was so adorable. Currently reading The Vanderbeekers series aloud (I used to work in Harlem so love the setting, and the large family of kids and their personalities and interactions is just so charming).

Currently single and don’t have kids yet. Maybe some day. But I loved the Little House on the Prairie books growing up. And the historical based American Girl books and movies. Especially Kit, Samantha, Kristen, Molly. Great way to learn about historical periods in an age appropriate manner. Growing up my mom would read the Narnia books from CS Lewis to us.

Would you be open to a video about a week of meals and how you go about planning them? Specifically quicker easy meals for working parents? My family currently doesn’t prioritize Whole Foods and I’m having a hard time imagining how you go about planning your meals. I know you have your recipe books - maybe the video could include some recipes?

My book recommendations: Everything from Frances Hodgson-Burnett and Lucy Maud Montgomery. I loved their books as a child

I've been collecting all of the classics for quite some time now so that I can read them to my kids and then they can read them by themselves as they get older. Here are only a fraction of what I have collected and feel like they would be good for the kiddos: Anne of Green Gables, Treasure Island, Robin Hood, The Jungle Book, Black Beauty, The Secret Garden, The Three Musketeers, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

My mom homeschooled me and I absolutely loved it! I think your children would enjoy the unabridged version of The Count of Monte Cristo. (I read it around their ages and it was much more detailed and interesting than the abridged version). 😊

Such an wholesome Video, thank you! I would love to hear you talking about that book you mentioned in the video, I think it was "how children learn" from John Holt

I can’t remember what exact age I was but def read the full count of monte cristo somewhere in that 8-12 range. I loved it! The hardest part was just keeping the characters straight

Home educator here! We’re currently reading Black Beauty for our read aloud, and I highly recommend all children reading that book! It was groundbreaking for animal rights, and putting animal cruelty into perspective. Blessings

Много лет не понимала почему смотрю ваши видео, ведь я не живу на острове и у меня нет ни семьи, ни детей. Недавно поняла, что любовь в вашей семье питает даже через такие короткие видео. Много надежды и тепла

I’m impressed to see Elvis cracking open those coconuts with a machete! So beautiful to see your children playing in the garden. I agree with them - sunflowers are gorgeous.
