One of my favorite quotes is,”If a child cannot learn in the way that we teach, we must teach in a way that a child can learn.”

[@amymaryon]

Yes

[@mrs.rogersneighborhood]

Mine too. I am always using this quote.

[@servantwarrior880]

As a homeschooling momma on her sixth year with five little girls the best thing you said is if you are at a point where it is stressful or frustrating do something else. Best advice ever!

[@brittanywaters3339]

I love that you are doing more homeschooling videos. As a homeschool mama of 3 they really help me remember to relax and not get so overwhelmed.

[@veronicadowdy4429]

So true about children going their own way. I have 3, and each one is so different from the other. Each took to school differently and yet, each are forging their path and are working towards their goals. Life with children is certainly an adventure! Blessings to you and your family!

[@MClay-bh3zr]

For some reason KZbin did not notify me of this video. So I came looking! Glad I found it!

[@karenennis6109]

Good morning. Life is full of learning. Doing the deck had so many many opportunities to learn. It helps everyone, adults as well see practical uses for math fractions, reading directions to mix cement, how to use different tools etc.. You have a fantastic day and I will see ya tomorrow

[@mamatofive1]

Nothing like the whole family learning together, and with Dad too! I love seeing the way your homeschool...it’s constantly reminding me to relax and enjoy this learning process 😀❤️

[@amymaryon]

Yes enjoy the ride

[@Wisdom-gc]

I'm so glad y'all enjoyed the crafts. I have a 15-year old g.d. that suggested the kids would enjoy the painting. She loves painting hand sewing dolls and jewelry making. Has her own business.

[@amymaryon]

That's awesome they love them

[@kathycunningham6677]

Good morning Amy Great video. Love seeing the kids having fun doing their projects esp Stephens face when it work! I think Greg had fun working with the kids too. Love all your words of advice to those parents with children. It’s always wonderful advice too. Thank you for today’s Psalm. Have a fantastic and blessed day.

[@amymaryon]

He loves working with his kids

[@ashleyhenderson7055]

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing. My kids did not like individual reading due to some learning disabilities but they love being read to. I read to them everyday even in the summer. I have noticed by not pushing it that they have started reading more and more on their own. You are right on point with the unschooling.

[@amymaryon]

Yes relax they will get it

[@Wisdom-gc]

Good morning Amy and children. Summer has arrived let the fun times start.

[@nancyvanderbilt2782]

Thank you for your insight! We call regular school "out" school😁 .so thankful we home school. It is such a blessing to see them grow.

[@christieflesch3750]

I've been watching your videos thanks for the motivation because I have three illnesses and a spinal injury and I still work full time so I don't always have energy to do stuff. But you give me the motivation to do it I just went through some closets and like Christmas stuff and thanks for the motivation to do it. I didn't realize how much you can get done in like 30 minutes. I am tired now. but I just need to do a little bit here and there and then I'll make myself feel better about my house

[@amymaryon]

You got something accomplished that is what matters ;)

[@patd4317]

Thank you so much for this very helpful video about different ways of teaching and more importantly learning. As a child I did not like learning at all. Going to school and trying to learn stressed me out but as an adult I try to learn something new everyday. I can’t get enough of it. Thank you Amy. God bless you and your family. 🌺

[@amymaryon]

Welcome. Learning is so many ways

[@tammy2143]

I enjoyed this video. Thank you for explaining unschooling.

[@pauaolson]

My children have been begging me to unschool them for over a year. Amy you make it seem so doable. I don't know why it terrifies me. They LOVE learning new things on their own and then share with the family as they improve their skill or success. *sigh* I know I just need to do this. Thank you for sharing!

[@amymaryon]

It's an adventure but a fun one

[@LoLo-pv6do]

Wow...I want these science kits for myself!!

[@Amanda-kw1vi]

I loved everything about this video! The fun, the education, the tips, the transition to the reading, the reading itself! Going though stuff in my life but you always brighten my day. I'd love to homeschool my way, having to school at home doing it the schools way how & when they say it's frustrating...

[@amymaryon]

Thank you for your words

[@tawanacooke4438]

Thanks for sharing ❤️.. blessings to you and your beautiful family 🤗

[@irislabranche4323]

Thank you for this video. I am a teacher. I feel stress with online learning and my student's feel the stress as while. You have a positive attitude towards learning. Thank you 😊

[@amymaryon]

Welcome

[@mariajones827]

Have a wonderful day!

[@JessieLeigh93]

We have been homeschooling for 16 years! One is in college and one is a Senior next year! Time flies so fast. So happy I got to be with my children and watch them grow and learn!

[@MS-hw1vb]

I needed to hear this. It was encouraging thank you

[@melissafatimaulhaq]

Good morning Amy!! I love watching y'all unschooling! Have a Blessed day 🙏

[@zeidymaturinovazquez8504]

Love as always!!❤❤❤❤

[@goldietomlinson9126]

Good morning Amy I hope your children have a very wonderful summer this year and enjoy that new pool and hopefully you’ll be able to take a little bit of a break and enjoy relaxing and swimming getting a suntan

[@amymaryon]

I can't wait

[@pattidavis8043]

Love this!

[@1lynnj]

Good morning blessings to you and yours,

[@TheLifeofaHomemaker]

Love your shirt!

[@marciadichiara5688]

Interesting about unschooling. Thank you. Enjoy the day ! 🌸🌺

[@jjb494]

Listening stories: there is Jonathon Park. Adventures in odyssey. Lamplighters.. and G.A. Hently ..... those are all awesome 👌they can listen and color or craft. Amy thanks for the info! Keep us up with some homeschooling videos. Ty

[@Grammapamm]

What you presented in this video is useful for anyone even without children.We have 24 hours in a day minus sleep in which to incorporate learning.With YT videos there is much that Parents can learn themselves & then teach children-ballet,square dancing,country two-step for example. Even 1 parent could learn ballet-Greg could practice it at his shop unwatched! (Or secretly recorded-that would be a hoot!) Cooking is a great time to teach fractions while measuring,building a deck is a great time to educate more on using a tape measure & more fractions. With red,yellow & blue paint a child can make a color wheel & make orange,green,purple & brown. A child can learn counting with pebbles, cheerios or seashells at a beach.Incorperating tactile learning helps solidify concepts as more senses are being used, like the Bible says faith comes by " hearing", probably because at one time only men learned to read so they saw & heard but women only heard.

[@missbabbett9086]

We didn't have all the button's even had to get up to turn the TV off I was never much for TV as a kid and don't own 1 today. My mother was kinda strick but very loving and didn't let us sit in front of a TV to much and the summers we went to Bible camp it was great time.👍😊♥️

[@priscillaclancy478]

Yes they will blossom in their own unique way i think when you push them you get no results but instead leave them have an input as the saying goes you catch more flies with honey lol have a blessed day

[@maryreynolds5310]

Amy, this is a great video (of many) that I’m absolutely going to share with my daughter. She has Klaire, age 6 and of course my new grandbaby..Giovanni. Just the best advise!! Have a wonderful day today xo Ok, back to watching lol

[@amymaryon]

Have a great day

[@mrswhisler1921]

You and the family are doing amazing! Funny how "science isn't your thing", but you have your budgeting, food, and household down to a science, lol!

[@amymaryon]

Lol

[@ericag6876]

How does it work for homeschooling kids when they have the state testing ? I live in upstate NY and we have mandatory state tests I don’t home school but I’m thinking about homeschooling.

[@amymaryon]

Check as to what they require..do they require that your student passes ? Do you admin the test? Which test can you use? We have state testing but we keep the tests ourselves..don't have to submit them .

[@naomirae5200]

You are my kindred!

[@lithottamera6089]

Great video

[@jafrompa1555]

Good morning. Have a good day. 💙

[@unconditionallovehomeschoo1830]

We go with the flow unschooling is best for our family

[@candicegangadeen8424]

[@badmintonan8079]

❤️

[@alexisspace8390]

Woohoo first one. Good morning Amy, God bless you 🙏

[@lagcity9262]

Does Mel Science do a family discount for a large family?

[@amymaryon]

You would have to message them

[@arwenrosalie3031]

Is there anyone on here that hates morning for homeschooling? I feel rushed, ID rather get ready for the day, clean my home, run errands, and have my children nicely dressed for the day too and as dinner is cooking I like to finally sit and start our school work. Anyone the same or just me?

[@amymaryon]

Me too

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

Wha5 an awesome video.

[@mariahagan4560]

Who is having more fun, Greg or the kids?

[@ladylildizzy1]

What do you do for Language Arts?

[@amymaryon]

Currently we do a Charlotte mason method

[@Wisdom-gc]

Why do parents think there children much have straight A grades etc.

[@lisachatham8690]

After living my entire life knowing things you can eat that grow in nature, I just learned that acorns are edible........

[@jenniferbtoo9344]

Have you ever struggled with kids being jealous of each other and fighting?

[@amymaryon]

No:)

[@psikeyhackr6914]

I have downloaded 3 books on unschooling: The Brave Learner by Julie Bogart Free to Learn by Peter Gray Unschooling to University by Judy Arnall The great thing about electronic books is searchability to see what is there and what is not. Of course I searched for science fiction. Only Free to Learn made any mention of it. One of the students admitted that he was obsessed with it as a kid. He became a mathematics professor at a major university according to the book. What I searched for and did not find in any of the books were Project Gutenberg and Librivox. These are free sources of material that all kinds of home schoolers should be aware of. Librivox creates audiobooks from public domain material while Project Gutenberg provides them as text in various formats. Since the oldest of these unschooling books is from 2013 and I have used Project Gutenberg since 2008 or 9 this almost amounts to criminal negligence. LOL There are 5 versions of Black Beauty in Librivox. The quality of the readings in their library varies. Most that I have tried are acceptable to good though a couple were too bad for me to tolerate. Your kids might like the dramatized version of Black Beauty which uses multiple readers for different characters. There is usually only one reader per audiobook.
