This was great, Heather! I was homeschooled my entire education. In my junior year of high school I went to college a year early. My wife and I now homeschool our three boys.

I'm a homeschooling mama of 3 and I have been not working out at all since we started back in July with school and you've inspired me to just do it in the morning outside while the kids play. I'll start tomorrow and see how it goes! Thank you so much for showing us a glimpse in your life.

I am in love with your early morning routine. I always try to squeeze my workout in after the kids go to bed, or during the toddlers nap time. It almost never happens because I'm too exhausted after a full day of work. I love the idea of doing it TOGETHER in the morning, before school starts. Going to start this in our home ASAP!! :)

Love the part, especially, about the garbage truck, and how they swept up leaves where they were waiting. The life of a homeschooler is such a different experience, a better, more real, experience. As a longtime school teacher and school leader, I can tell you virtually nothing about the traditional school day minimix or prepares kids for reality. Fortunately, most of my career was spent and non-traditional educational settings. Thanks for sharing. Peace.

Amazing! :) It took a bit for both my husband and I to be on the same page but he is my number 1 supporter in homeschool. He loves it just as much as I do. He even took off the first week of school this year so he could be present with the kiddos and start their year off right. Now he likes to be involved with the nature studies, history, and reading. It's so wonderful for kids to see both parents involved and for them to see US learning new things too. We make it a point to read books in front of the kids, to learn new skills, and to involve them in as many life lessons as possible.

Awesome morning routine! I am still waiting for my youngest to learn to ride his bike without training wheels, so for now I just use workout videos while the boys are sleeping! We are so much a like. I have had a kids dishes cabinet since my oldest was 1 or 2. My mother in law gave me the idea and after almost 14 years I never even thought of it as a mom hack, but here one I have shared: with kids let them eat off of a big plate and less food goes on the table or the floor and they are more likely to eat all that's on it because it does look like a lot. the latter didn't work for us so much, but it made a huge difference in the mess on the floor!
@HeatherTorresTV
@HeatherTorresTV 8 жыл бұрын
What a great mom hack! Love that idea. They usually use their plastic plates for snacks and such and for regular meals we use the regular plates. We wanted them to understand early on that you have to be careful with plates and glasses so we have had them eating off regular ones since they started solids. A few plates and glasses have been broken but the lesson is instilled and we haven't had a problem with breakables for a while. Thanks for watching! :)
@creeksidehomeschoolers
@creeksidehomeschoolers 8 жыл бұрын
Yes, us too! I honestly didn't want to hand wash all those plastic kid friendly dishes when I could just give them a regular plate and let the dish washer wash them and glasses too! I would rather have fun with them then spend extra time cleaning! We haven't had many broken dishes and usually it was me who broke them. You know later at night super sleepy while loading the dishwasher oops! It's amazing what kids can do if we just teach them then set back and let them go! My boys can make sandwiches, cook eggs, cheese tortillas. I truly want to raise men that God will be pleased with and a woman will want to marry.

Is it expensive to homeschool?? We have 4 kids ages 3, 4, almost 6, & almost 7. We’ve been trying public school, but there’s always an issue with something & my kids have learned more from me at home than they have at school.. to the point that at conferences the teachers are asking what I am doing with them. Im currently a SAHM(stay at home mom] & I feel God is calling me to homeschool. It’s been really heavy on my heart but I’ve brushed it off telling myself they need the social interaction.. but the more issues we deal with (bullying in pre-k & k, being treated differently because of our Christian beliefs, etc.) the harder it gets ignore. I just found your channel & look forward to learning more.

Hello and welcome! :) Homeschooling can be a small investment or a large one. You can literally homeschool for free from the internet and the library. Or you can purchase a curriculum set with all the books and worksheets and spend a good chunk of change. It really is up to you. let me know if you have any other questions.
@searose6192
@searose6192 5 жыл бұрын
You can definitely homeschool for free. You can also very easily homeschool for around the same costs you spend on school materials for public school. Of course above that you can spend as much as you like, by homeschooling on a shoestring is completely doable.

Home school for free, meaning no school records from the Department of Education nor report cards?
@searose6192
@searose6192 5 жыл бұрын
Wonder WoMom I’m sorry...I am a bit confused by your question. We were discussing the financial cost of homeschooling, so “free” in the sense that you don’t have to spend any money on curriculum, materials etc. I’m not sure how that relates to report cards and “department of education records” (not sure which records you mean). Report cards do not cost any money to make. All you need is a piece of paper and a pen, then you record your child’s grades. Most homeschoolers don’t give their children report cards though, except in some cases for their high schoolers in order to generate a GPA for college.
@mommanipio9036
@mommanipio9036 5 жыл бұрын
I am sorry about that. What I meant was, I can homeschool my kids without paying for any (example: tution fees for schools that cater/provide/offer homeschooling)? Here in our country, we need like to pay for 400 to 900 dollars for homeschooling, excluding the money we have to spend for homeschool materials, and also homeschoolers are required to enrol to sports, arts class etcetera as part of extra curricular activities.

When i have a child I'm going to teach them so much more than a school, of course my girlfriend will have to help me out (i have moderate autism and though she's a bit younger than me and has autism too she only has high functioning autism and is definitly smarter than me) I'll teach the kid things like reading, nature, proper english, history, and science while my girlfriend teaches them math and all of those boring things that she's better at than me. We're going to teach our kid visually since both me and her are visual learning but we also think it'll be easier for the kid to know what they're doing if they see it, we're going to make sure it's fun for our kid and make sure that they get as much help as they need, they have to parents instead of one teacher to help them :) Oh and since there's a very high chance our child will have special needs we're there to help them all the way, especially since me and my girlfriend are special needs people too

Thank you so much for this video! I just started homeschooling and i really needed some motivation, you make everything seem so easy! Do you recommend I purchase a curriculum? I have a 2nd grader and a kindergartner. How can I make sure my kids do t fall behind in school?? Help!👧🏽 that's what worries me the most and it's really stressing me right now.
@HeatherTorresTV
@HeatherTorresTV 7 жыл бұрын
Oh great question Jean! ;) If you are just starting out on your homeschool journey I definitely recommend some sort of guide within the subjects. This does not mean you need to purchase curriculum though. You can but it is not required in order to have a well-rounded and challenging homeschool. Have you watched my Homeschool Mom Books video? Watch that one! I recommend some great resources that will really help you. As far as your little ones getting behind in school - I completely understand this concern. I had it too. A wise homeschool veteran encouraged me though to not model my homeschool after the school system because the school system is forever changing its benchmarks and regulations and what we are doing in homeschool is teaching the child to their level. As long as you are covering the basics - reading, writing, math - you will have a child who is adaptable to any situation if they are to return to the school system. Hope that helps!

Hello! Newbie here ! I just love your videos, so helpful. I'm trying to transition my son out of FT kinder and your videos make my decision more comfortable and confident. I also work PT outside of the home, so I need to find work that would be flexible for our homeschooling schedule. I'm very curious what kind of career you have that allows you to have such a good flexibility to manage it all. Thank you so much. 😊

You will do great! Just remember, just because the school system says they should be a certain level of achievement in each grade doesn't mean your child will be there. All kids grow and learn at different rates, it's only natural. Give yourself GRACE as a new homeschool mom and enjoy the process. You will start to really see the strengths in your child, roll with those!!!!!

Hi! Just found you, researching homeschooling in AZ, silly question but do you know any requirements for preschool?! Our daughter will be 2 next week and she can already recognize her lower-case letter sounds! She loves learning and i believe homeschooling is the best route, especially living in Arizona.

Meriah Mendez hi! Welcome. Preschool is all up to you. They don’t have to be registered in the state until age 6. So you can technically do preschool and kinder before registering them. Each state is different for school requirements but preschool is up to you.

Super with flexibility in your day and sharing how you prepare the evening before👍🏻 Just subscribed and looking forward to following along with you on your homeschooling adventure. If you are interested in educational videos for children you could pop over to my newly started kids learning channel. I would love to hear what you think of the learning content there. Have a great learning day😀
