Discipling Kids is Side-by-Side Work

[@simplebee2366]

Even if you do not homeschool, this is such important information for all parents. Being a role model centered in Christ is the answer. Thanks for sharing.

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Thank you and I heartily agree! We all need this reminder from time to time. You're welcome! :)

[@mytwosents]

So needed this. Thank you

Love this quote and your sharing of how to discipline thru side by side work. “Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work.” - Dr. John Trainer

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Thank you! Yes! We are raising the next generation...our work is so important!

[@Naturallyemilyy]

This is such a convicting watch! Thank you for the reminder to be present and aware of the example we are to our children! I love what you did with your older daughters. I hope to do that with mine one day :)

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Glad to hear this challenged you! Quite honestly, as I was making it, I was being convicted as well! It's something we need to be reminded of often I think.

[@Regina7ish]

I love the way you share honestly also about your own shortcomings and how you realized what matters most...as a mom just starting on this road of homeschooling and working less outside I'm so grateful for the advice you share, it's very valuable, thank you for walking this road and sharing to others so that we can do likewise.

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Thank you! Yes, it is something I need to remind myself of frequently...to be present, engaged, and remembering the eternal perspective. And btw I always appreciate your thoughtful comments! :)

[@Regina7ish]

@@OurLifeHomeschooling thank you, I'm glad you do.

Just in case your kids don’t know that I just want to let them know THEY ARE LIVING A DREAM , THEY ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE A FAMILY LIKE THIS AND SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE SURROUNDED BY THE NATURE

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Thank you!

[@SkyrNin]

Yes, teaching them to focus on the good and not the bad and to be thankful with what we are given. God is in controle and provides. We as parents need to remind ourselves what a wonderful gift our children are, thank you God ✝

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Well said! They are truly a gift! May we steward it well!

[@YogaNurture]

What a fantastic reminder. Thank you! The quote from C.S. Lewis was a much needed reminder.

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

So glad to hear that! You're welcome! :)

This is so important for me to remember, and this is now the third time this week that God has reminded me of this truth----being more present with my loved ones and/or Him, instead of being so focused on the serving of them all. Being a "Mary," instead of a "Martha." I fall so short every day, especially in the area of how I react to my children's repeated disobedience or arguing with me, or their seemingly constant bickering with one another (at times). I know I need to work on more consistent discipline to them for those actions, as well. And instead of raising my voice, calmly dealing with each need as it arises. It is all so much----but I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Our oldest has graduated this year, and it has definitely caused me to reflect on what's most important as well. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. I so appreciate your spirit, Sherry. Your children are blessed to have such a sweet, Christ-centered momma 💖

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful reply and for your kind words! I completely relate. It's a constant struggle for me too. Making this video was a good reminder to me. Congrats on your graduate! It really helps put things in perspective, doesn't it?! Blessings!

Your videos are just so encouraging to me! I look forward to them. I have that quote by CS Lewis up in my home to remind me what’s most important. ❤ Your family is so beautiful. I know it’s not perfect but you are doing such a good work. Gal 6:9

[@amandatibbo2583]

It was so wonderful to see you in your home environment with the kids contently being together.. Do you have issues with computer games and screens being increasingly what kids want to spend their time on these days?

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Thank you! We have had issues with that and still form time to time we need to re-evaluate. Here is a video I did explaining how we handle screen time. It may give you some ideas. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWGpqItvYpuMqcksi=ot7DQHEseDqKM2hw
