My tip would be to always remember you are mom FIRST--and teacher second. Your relationship with your kids is always more important than the curriculum.

[@GraceandGrit]

SimpleHealthyLiving yesssss this is a huge one!

[@hikegardentravel6546]

SimpleHealthyLiving this is so important!!!

[@alexwalker4281]

Now to home school?

[@offbeatmommasaga3615]

Yes!! Absolutely!

[@mysteriousgamer5193]

Or a dad first! Lol

[@mysteriousgamer5193]

Use a filing system for the curriculum. I use a crate to hold everything. Each folder has a week worth off school work. The crate carries all weeks of the school year. This might be helpful. Good luck! 😊🍀

[@shandassmiles4802]

Listening to your kid's heart💓💓💓💓Yes! Have your spouse's support, Expect resisstance! It's not you as a teacher! You're going to be different! People are going to judge you! Be patient, don't worry and think they would do better in public school. The rewards are everything! It is so worth it! You can never replace the time and bond that comes with homeschool. I wish I had seen this before I started homeschooling 3 years ago. I love this advice! Yes! Thank you for making this video!

[@GraceandGrit]

Shanda's Smiles I’m so happy you are in agreement with me!

[@dragonflymagictarot1180]

Love this message 🥰

[@heytheretracyh]

Great tips! Kids will never regret the time you spent with them and neither will you. Remember that homeschooling is a blessing because it will be hard some days.

[@elijahdealmeida6580]

Thank u so much for making this video. I'm a mom of 4 and this video answered a lot of questions about starting homeschool. This really helped with my anxiety about starting. Thank you. God bless. 💖

[@GraceandGrit]

Elijah De Almeida praying for you!

[@elisabethquigley7399]

Yes, please tell us your reasons for homeschooling!

[@zillycrew]

Great tips and all true!! We homeschool, we pulled our two boys out of public school and they had some friends established so don't take this close friends away if possible. My second grader had two really special friends in school and that was the hardest thing for him at the time not seeing his buds every day....so I make sure to nurture those special friendships with playdates throughout the month and they do see each other during club sports so that helps to. We don't have a co-op so meeting other homeschooling friends is more challenging for our family, we do have one family that were close with that homeschool as well and our boys play often with them. So that's my add in... nurture those friendships if possible. My boys love being home and having the freedom to move about more during the day but they have each other to play with everyday, but having one or two special friends is important....in my eyes!!

[@ajsmith890]

We are new to homeschool... and even though I taught public school for 12 years, somehow staring at my two sons was incredibly intimidating! I was so confident in a classroom, but somehow felt wildly inadequate in front of my own children!! Thank you for your tips!!! Especially not to try and do public school in your homeschool! Thank you!! This really helped a lot!

[@jennifercampbell2586]

Thank you so much for these tips! We made the decision to homeschool and transition out of public school. My stomach has been so upset with all the stress of anticipation. This video helped me a lot!

[@GraceandGrit]

Jennifer Campbell you can do it! One day at a time!

[@amandaa1989]

I am in the same place of anxiety Jennifer! My husband and I are going to start homeschooloing next year. One of our girls just graduated, and the other 2 are currently 7th and 9th grade. They have always been in public school, but the issues in the last couple years just keep increasing. It is time foe a change! Thanks Ashlee for this video, even though I am seeing it 2 years later, lol! This was very helpful and encouraging to me!

[@megananne528]

My stomach also from all of this decision making and changes !!!

[@juliefisher4730]

Thank you so much for this video; I’ve been overthinking all this home schooling stuff but feel much more relaxed about it now!

[@laurahenry939]

This is such a valuable video, particularly right now as many of us (myself included) transition our kids from public school to homeschool. Thank you for sharing (and continuing to share) your wisdom!

[@Thefurryfamsquad]

I am new to homeschool and these tips were amazing! Thank you for the video!

[@Emsliepaperart]

I have been homeschooling my 3rd grader with Dysgraphia since September 2019 and my 6th grader with Autism since January 2020. I constantly doubt myself whether I'm doing the right thing and whether I'm ruining my child's life! Listening to you is so encouraging to me. I would live to know how you teach your kids the Bible.

[@mamachicken1548]

Great tips!! This was excellent advice! I homeschooled 2 kids all the way through. They graduated in 2015 &2017. I wish there was youtube videos back when I was doing it. There is so much more support for people today.

[@skyecasson571]

Your videos have been very helpful for both my son and I. Bless you.

[@robbinsnest6163]

I loved this so much! I have a 4 year old and 2 year old that I am planning to homeschool! I have 2 more months at my job and then I will be coming home to be with my babies! I have been researching and finding different ones on KZbin to get tips from such as Heather Torres and I am learning a lot! Thank you so much for your videos!

[@humble_prairie_homestead]

Thank you for this video. Excellent points and encouragement. First year homeschooling my children grade seven and nine.

[@achiny85]

Thank you for sharing this... it’ll be my first year to homeschool my 3 kids.

[@michellemorin6522]

I want to say thank you so much for this video! I'm starting next week with my 3 kids. 5, 11, and 12 years old. This is really going to help with the transition with my older two, my youngest has never been in public school or daycare.

[@BethPavlik]

I loved this video so much! It was spot on. Great job!

[@intentionallymade]

Goodness, this video was full of the grade and encouragement I needed. First year homeschooler and have been enjoying your videos. I think I get wrapped up in the all in aspect and the biggest thing that stuck out to me in this is when you said to start slow and work your way up. I guess it takes time to get out of the mindset of year by year grade by grade mentality. Thank you for sharing these awesome Tips. I know this is an older girl but it’s very helpful in today situation. God bless :)

[@someonerandom256]

This is good advice. I took my kids out at the end of the year. We had some good talks, and then we deschooled all summer long. They say you need more than that for kids their age(middle school), but I didn't have any trouble. Flexibility and being willing to tweak things, and being willing to let go of your mental ideal of a perfect homeschool will go a long way!

[@tracylayne9918]

I enjoyed this so much! you are such an inspiration to us homeschooling moms!

[@GraceandGrit]

Tracy Layne Thankyou, I’m just trying to share everything I wish I knew when I started my journey!

[@amytabb4694]

I can't tell you how much this video has meant to me!!! Thank you soooooo much!

Amy Tabb so happy to know it reached you!

[@tracyk837]

Well said mama! Thank you for your videos, they are such a help!! May God continue to bless all of your good work.

[@GraceandGrit]

[@crysss471]

I want thank you and bless you , hearing all that you have said has helped me decide to homeschool my kids . The things you have stated have encouraged me and have helped put my husband on the same page thanks so much !

[@zyrac744]

I so appreciate your video and tips!!! I am getting ready to transition my 2 boys from public school to Homeschool, 1st and 2nd grader ;)

[@irissayee3980]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS! I really want to start homeschooling this year and Had no idea where to start!

[@lovebirdcrazy5675]

Yòur my favorite KZbinr for homeschooling. I took them out this year started HS Aug 2017 and put them back end of Oct 2017. I feel like I've made a huge mistake in putting them back into school. We r now moving to another town and thinking of trying again. .i LOVE your homeschool videos it's so honest. Thank you from Sonya in Ontario Canada

[@GraceandGrit]

lovebird crazy no harm in trying again, sometimes it takes putting them back into ps to see that you really didn’t want that for them!

[@pedropadilla5338]

Thank you so much for this video I am going to start homeschooling and know no one who does it so I've been just getting more information online and trying to figure things out and this video helped alot thank you!

[@marythomas6543]

This was really helpful. Thank you!

[@ArtrichStudio]

I really needed to hear this today. We had a hard day today.

[@erind3286]

Would love to hear your reasons for homeschooling. Love your videos! So helpful.

[@MrsJLucero]

I usually don’t leave comments, nor subscribe or even like videos on KZbin. I jus watch and move on. Seriously I had to stop and comment. THANK YOU so much for this video!!! I am in my first year of homeschool after pulling my 3 boys out of public school (5,7&9yrs old) your video was so encouraging and gave me what I needed at the moment & to remind my self why I am doing what I am doing. I will definitely be looking for more of your videos !

[@Patshia07]

Thank you for this video! I’m very surprised there is so much support out here. I’m doing my research and learning more about homeschooling. My kiddos are 8 and 9 and had always been in public schools but now with the pandemic going on and really considering homeschooling. That’s the main reason and other reasons.

[@michellespriggs7789]

This has been so helpful to me. My oldest is currently doing preschool. I feel like this video was for me. I grew up in public school and never imagined homeschool would be our clear path for education. I need to remember to tell myself that I don’t have to mirror a public school room.

[@renatanogueira5204]

I Just wanted to thank you for this video! I am brazilian and follow you for here! I have a boy with two years old and i am expecting again :) He stays with me all day and i am trying to practice the homeschooling with him with some activies but there is some days that is really really hard and your video helped me to start over! Thank you! God bless!

[@37991000]

May God bless you. This is very handy for any of us thinking of diving into Home schooling

[@bridgetteswenson52]

Thank you very much for your video! Very helpful!

[@michellechannell1219]

This is a great video. My youngest two eleven and nine have never been to school. However with my eldest three,now grown, I brought school home. So it's been a learning curve with my youngest two. Your videos have helped. Thank you. You are even helping this older homeschool mom😊

[@GraceandGrit]

Michelle Channell that makes me happy!

[@MizzmomMy925]

Thanks for sharing this I’m thinking of homeschooling my kids this next year and need all the help I can get so this dose help.

[@Jubee5910]

Thank you, love this. I’m starting this august :)

[@divaangel40]

This may be an old video, but it is what I needed to hear today. God bless! This is my first year homeschooling my son and it has been a struggle. I think I expected too much and had a “Pinterest “ idea of what I thought it would be.

[@LadyS8985]

I followed these tips and so glad I did. We are now 7 months in and adding more curriculum with these pushback and also adding another child to the school day. Special needs and neurotypical teaching is rewarding to say the least and I am glad we can be able to do this. The constant worry that I am not doing it right doesn’t go away for me yet though.

[@GraceandGrit]

You're doing amazing Heather! Hope your setting in well!

[@ruizsterling5693]

I have 6 kiddos, one about to enter high school, one about to go into middle school, 2 inbetween, one about to start pre-k, and a 1 yr old. They are all so different but I can see where they each need more help than school can offer. More time with me I know is one thing they ask for in their own way. God has been stirring my heart about this subject and I'm praying, reading, listening to his word and of course homeschool info everywhere. I'm super nervous. I've had experience teaching sunday school and summer bible school for years on and off but having them all day I know might be a challenge. Im still praying and researching. This video helped me think of a lot of things so I'm grateful.

[@mamatofive1]

This transitioning doesn’t really apply to me, but I still found this info so helpful! Thanks, Ashlee! 😊

[@GraceandGrit]

Mama to Four Thankyou! So glad you found it helpful

[@paigelarson1383]

Another amazing video thank you for sharing❤️

[@amberpowers7509]

I just pulled my 6th grader out of public school to start homeschool this week. Thank you so much for this! I feel lost and this def helped

[@semprecantando]

My son is 12 and in 6th grade and my daughter is 10 and in 4th grade. My plan is to start homeschooling them starting in the Fall. I keep hearing people talk abou deschooling and how important it is, but what I want is evidence based info that shows how best to go about it and it’s effectiveness.

[@naomiwhitsett]

This was so helpful thank you so much

[@Kim-up2qc]

We are likely going to be transitioning our kids out of public school this coming school year (going into 1st and 3rd) and this was the first video that popped up when I searched “homeschooling for beginners”. I’m grateful to God it was this video. I have so many reservations and worries but I appreciate all your wisdom and tips in this video

[@GraceandGrit]

Kim Andrew my heart is so happy you found me! ❤️

[@katherinetrumbauer5011]

Thank thank you for this. We are starting our homeschool journey in July, and I am trying my ha rest to prepare now.

[@katherinetrumbauer5011]

Hardest*

[@GraceandGrit]

That’s a great idea!

[@IrynaBoehland]

Thank you, very much for sun an inspiration and optimism! Here is to add to be ready for negative comment. I have heard (not once) a comment from my child friends - "Oh, I am sure it's fun, but it's low grade and you are not going to be as smart as us..." (She was in private christian school!) Quite upsetting for my daughter. But I know it is not true. )))

[@almablinn9755]

Thank you for these tips! I’m just starting to look into homeschooling my daughter who will be going into 6th grade. I’m thankful I found your channel. I’m glad you gave me tip #3 because I was already going overboard with what we would do! So just the basics reading, writing and math to start? Then add in the others subjects as the year goes on?

[@HomeschoolHistoryShow]

Awesome tips.

[@Silly-Little-Mama]

Totally one hundred percent agree with all of this. I pulled my fifth grader halfway through the year and he has been fighting me tooth and nail. I did know this was going to happen though. I homeschooled him in third as well and we fought the entire year (which is why he was back in school the next year, he drove me crazy!) I expected the resistance when I pulled him this time. This time around though, I have more experience. I’ve been homeschooling his two younger brothers who have never been to a formal school so we have more social connections, know more about curriculum and about not recreating school at home. I did however make the mistake of trying to bring home some of the school’s habits to make the transition easier for him. It didn’t last long. We ended up dropping all those habits within a few weeks. Then I made the mistake of expecting to do a lot with him. Didn’t last either. We are doing the basics, math and ELA. For everything else, the mentality is “if it happens, it happens.” Im not pushing. We will build up slowly, as you suggested.

[@mommamakeuptv1741]

So so helpful thanks 🙏

[@Soy_Jessica_]

Thank you Ashley

[@adaretoyou]

I took my grandkids out of private school this year because of COVID19 but considered it beforehand because of challenges my 9 year old was having with peers and school staff. He is ASD and was being bullied. HIs sister started Kindergarten last year and we found the environment to create a great deal of stress for her. She is a perfectionist and the conformity expectations were very difficult for her. COVID19 made it a jumping off point. It has been a struggle to transition, but I know in my heart it is the right thing for both. I hope to find that rhythm we need and truly appreciate all of the tips. I worry about friendships for them. They have each other but I know they enjoy other children their ages. I hope to find a co-op. Fortunately, I do know a few families that are homeschooling and are my kiddos' ages but everyone is locking down with the Virus. We just haven't found the bubble to join. Thank you for making the video, it has helped to remind me of the other reasons our family needs to do this.

[@dionnedene4523]

Thank you for this.

[@rseagulls100]

I've been homeschooling my kids for five years and they've never been to public school. All your tips were great! I know it will encourage and help anyone who is starting out or struggling. It helped me by remembering why I started homeschooling to begin with. Thank you for this video!

[@GraceandGrit]

Rosie S. Ahh yess ! I felt the same, reminded why I began just talking to you guys!

[@shannonmooers4002]

I second all of these tips! I made every mistake you can make becoming a homeschool mom.

[@GraceandGrit]

Shannon Mooers I probably did the same!

[@heatherpenot720]

Thank you so much for making this video. I pulled my 6th, 4th and 1st graders from public school right before Thanksgiving this yr. It definitely has been rough but I know this is what's right for us! I wish I would've seen this before lol.

[@GraceandGrit]

Heather Penot you can do it ❤️

[@JGFamilyLife]

Im thinking bout pulling out my 5th grader? I already have 2 toddlers at home. Did u already have a curriculum set up for your 6th grader before pulling him out? I want to pull my son out now but was thinking just doing it fir 6th grade cause I don't have anything already prepared. I've been debating within myself so much bout pulling him out but I really feel I need too. Im scared I would fail and just not be smart enough to teach him. Its a huge decision. How did u make your final decision and how did u prepare b4 pulling them out? Thanks in advance for your response.

[@GraceandGrit]

check out my why we homeschool videos. You can order curriculum quickly:)

[@Paladin-dk2ef]

Good info, thanks!

[@WatchPrayAlways]

Valuable insights and takeaways here, for those (like me) who are just now looking into homeschool groups. Instinctively (perhaps) I have avoided getting involved with homeschool support groups & co-ops. However, I'm beginning to think that I do need to branch out... Thank you for sharing - honestly - and in such great detail. The manipulation, triangulation, and retrospective sense of feeling used (which you described here) seems consistent with one or more of the individuals involved having narcissistic personality traits & agendas. Remember, not all those who profess belief in Jesus Christ are truly His. But those who are true believers are to be known by their agape love, one for another. Though I'm very sorry you had to experience this hurt, I'm glad you did the right thing. We all have to count the cost of maintaining godly virtue & integrity, right? I'm also thankful you seized the opportunity to use this awful experieince to encourage so many! Blessings of continued healing and peace to you, in Yeshua Jesus' holy name. 🙌🏻🕊❤

[@WatchPrayAlways]

@Grace and Grit whoops posted the above comment on the wrong video somehow, lol!

[@doinlifewiththepetersons250]

This video just blessed me so much! I have been deciding whether or not I should homeschool my kids and it hasn't been the easiest decision. My children are begging to be homeschooled, but my husband is not sold on the idea. Did you spouse always agree with your decision to homeschool? Any tips to get my husband on board? I think that I really want to do it!

[@mikejamieo]

Thank you!!

[@joemama7764]

Hi ASHLEY, thanks for the wonderful information, im a single father of a 12 year old darling daughter who has had a less than stellar time in public school, shes not learning and frankly im concerned for her safety as well. i am about to transition her to be home schooled and im nervous about the strain it will put on me as im already pulling double duty not having a partner in parenting. you helped calm me down, thank you! also can you pray for me. lol

[@tess04231211]

Think HS might be getting quite popular NOW 😂 GREAT VIDEO Ashley...hardest one dealing with is resistance from the children Thank you

[@anasti3771]

Thank you!!!

[@stephaniecollins6205]

This was very helpful. I took my kids out of school last year after 5 years of public school. They are transitioning fine with me teaching them but, The challenge that Im having is that they really miss their friends. Because we live in a different neighborhood (20min) from their public school its hard to make arrangements to see them. Do you have any suggestions?

[@katiejon17]

This is an old video by now! I wasn’t even pregnant with my youngest when it was made (any my youngest is 5 now!). I’m half way through only my third year of homeschooling my oldest and the ONE thing new homeschooling parents need to keep in mind is that it takes the public schools 7+ hours a day because they have tons of students, class changes, disruptions, etc. It will take us, at home, a fraction of that time. Kindergarten was an hour and a half. First grade was two hours. Second grade is maybe 2 and a half hours. I expect it to get longer as I start schooling my youngest this fall as well, and as they get older. But I don’t ever expect to be schooling for seven hours a day. We also only do four days a week. My son’s drive for learning has only increased too. Homeschooling doesn’t kill the natural love of learning, where I feel public school does.

[@maritzajaquez6151]

Hi Ashlee! We have a 3 year old and 7 month old. My 3 year old is currently in a preschool co-op group (meet ups are every Tuesday morning). It's upsets me how judgemental people and family are about not sending our child to a preschool facility especially because we are Hispanic and who is Hispanic that homeschools? One reason is because we want to spend more time as a family. I also use the phrase its what is working for our family 😁

[@GraceandGrit]

Maritza Jaquez good job for being brave and making a different choice for your family!

[@jessicamarks8866]

Great tips! I’ve been struggling lately. Not with the academic side but with finding people to connect with and finding friendships for my boys. We are new to our area here in NC and this is our first year homeschooling. So finding a homeschool community that we can fit into has been challenging.

[@GraceandGrit]

Jessica Marks it is hard for sure, but don’t give up! You’ll find your group!

[@rseagulls100]

Jessica Marks Hello Jessica. I know how you feel. We have several homeschooling families at our church but none are close to my two sons' age. Also, there aren't any homeschool groups nearby where I live. My kids have a few friends who are in public school but it would be nice having some who are homeschooled. I just continue to get together with those public school friends when they have time off. I have been praying that we find some homeschool friends close to my kids' ages (7 and 10). Praying you find some like-minded friends too!

[@lindseyw286]

We have struggled with the same here in NC too!

Single Dad of an 8yr old girl and 10 Yr old boy, just about to deregister my kids from state school for homeschooling. Scary but exciting.

[@ericaryal9450]

Your tips were extremely helpful and especially to write down our “why” I can imagine that is especially powerful on the tough days. I have a 6yo, 2yo, & newborn and everyday that goes by that I’m not homeschooling my oldest I am sad for all of the time I’m missing yet I’m afraid to be pulled into too many directions with the younger ones and not be able to accommodate his learning needs. Any tips on making homeschooling work well with this dynamic would be greatly appreciated!

[@sharayahsunshine11]

Hi! I just had my 3rd and my oldest hasn't started school yet but I wanted to encourage you. I feel like its so hard knowing what to do for our oldest children when our youngest one's need attention. Its only temporary and you'll find that things may be more manageable in a few months down the road. I know one thing for sure I don't know how mamma's of multiple kids do it and homeschool!

[@ericaryal9450]

Sharayah B. Thank you for taking the time to encourage me with your reply. It was relaxing just to hear it coming from someone else☺️

[@sharayahsunshine11]

[@heididaniel1539]

I am homeschooling 6th grader for first time. He was already making bad decisions in 6th grade and it became clear that his peers were having more of influence on him them us. Already homeschooling we are seeing amazing changes! Closer to him and we are perserving his innocence. I love him too much too not homeschool.

[@animegirl2245]

We tried the virtual learning, and so far it's not working out. The resources to do the school work end of not working, and we are heavily leaning towards homeschooling altogether. He's in 4th grade and I have joined some groups to hopefully help us. Appreciate your channel!

[@jacquelyny9140]

The Canadian HSLDA website is hslda.ca and is a great resource to have, especially when transitioning or beginning home school. Great video Ashlee, all of your tips were on point! I found myself agreeing emphatically with each one. And I would love to know your reasons for homeschooling! Jacquelyn

[@alexandriaperez881]

Thank you for this. I needed to hear this. I’m about to go head on with homeschooling my kiddos. My first grader’s last day of public school was on Friday, which was actually the last day for the county. I’m nervous and feel like I need to go through a process of unschooling too. I also have a 3 year old I will be doing pre-k with instead of sending her to preschool. Then of course my 6 month old when her time comes. Did you feel a sort of sadness when taking your kids out? I know this is the best thing for my children and it’s been a long time coming. My reasons align to what you shared, however, I have been feeling a bit like I’m taking something away... the school, teachers and staff were great, but her experience with some kids wasn’t. I’m not trying to shelter them, as I know there’s dangers everywhere. I’m just wondering if others have felt the same way?

[@GraceandGrit]

alexandria perez ahhh yes. I did feel sad, and questioned myself! Totally normal feelings!!! But when you know you know!

[@marciesmith398]

I could’ve wrote your comment! But the more and more I hear about things happening in the schools the more grateful I am the Lord is allowing me to homeschool next year! Praying for all of us!

Do you recommend waiting to take them out at the end of the school year or just Bam! Take them out now? 😁

[@GraceandGrit]

Take em out now

[@mayperez1420]

I think I’m going to ask the board of Ed if I can homeschool part time. 3 days public school and 2 homeschool. Not sure if that is even an option here In nyc but I will find out. Maybe that can be another tip for transition if your state allows for part time homeschool and public school.

[@libeige9022]

Is it an option?

That’s what we do. We use a charter school. My son does all this work from home including field trips. Before COVID-19, two days a week he went to the school for three hours each day. I love homeschooling this way, because it gives me a safety net and I don’t have to keep boxes and boxes of his work

Do your children miss public school at all? My kids are miserable at school, which is one of the many reasons we are planning on homeschooling. I'm just worried they will get tired of homeschool or that it won't be what they excpect.

Katherine Trumbauer my kids actually have zero desire to return. They enjoy home and all we do so much more!

[@ThestorytellerofKatunga]

They will get tired of homeschooling if you are tired of homeschooling...:-))

[@leilaphillips8170]

I would like to hear why you started homeschooling.

[@GraceandGrit]

Leila Phillips I’ve made that video:) check out the reasons why I homeschool video

@@GraceandGrit I did, thanks so much. I really needed these right now when I have been doubting myself and my reasons for homeschooling. I have 3 adult children and now a 4 year old. I always felt called to homeschool but never did. Now with my 4 year old I am stepping out in faith. I have seconded guessed myself a lot. This was so helpful.

I want to transition my child to homeschool because of this Covid-19 I don't want my kid to be at risk nor do I want my kid to get this Covid-19.
