When Large Families HOMESCHOOL

[@melaniefisher8823]

My favorite part of all of this is thinking "one day THESE are the children that will be out in public" and this thought makes me so happy!!

[@emilybarnes5920]

Fellow homeschool Mom here! I love this content. I'd love more homeschooling content.

[@OurTribeofMany]

Check out our homeschool playlist!

[@mrsc1952]

Your family inspires me! What joy it is to be invited in to visit this very special family. Thank you for opening your doors to us. Peace brings a smile to my face!

[@Astromontana]

Filming out in 27 degree weather while wearing just sweaters, true Mid-westerners lol. Those little signs Tori made for the seeds are so cute! Hopefully that light you put in front of the seeds is doing its job when the sun can't. Bet that's one of the benefits of homeschooling were you can see the progress of projects like that at any time.

[@kimkennedy1014]

When Seth smiles he lights up the room. He is so adorable. I just love all your children and would have a very hard time using the word no to any of them.

[@RedHotRuby]

Seth is a darling

[@bonniemullen4990]

I agree all of Sarah's and Solos children are so precious 💕

[@fatine88]

So mischievous! He’s adorable

[@karenlynharshe4571]

I agree, but I see those mischief wheels a turning lol

[@BettyHorn]

Out of all this, Peace's chubby little cheeks are so adorable! Makes me smile!

[@trinamartinez4669]

Absolutely love this! We’ll rounded super intelligent group of young people! Great job mom and dad 🧡

[@teresar.1152]

So nice you can homeschool. I enjoy watching you do it. I couldn’t do it. I like my peace and quiet when my sweet boys are you in school.

[@jillgott6567]

This is a wonderful view of home schooling - I love that they learn critical thinking , logic skills something which seems to be lacking in schools today. I have always taught in nontraditional settings and my favorite thing to do was to choose or allow students to choose a topic and then ask what they thought. It was fun, non-threatening way for them to express their opinions, analyze information and listen to the viewpoints of others. I mentioned this during a substitute teaching training and it was made clear that would not be appreciated. No wonder right now in schools staff are dealing with kids meowing and acting like cats carrying around litter boxes. Foolishness does not lead to education

[@samuelsmama13]

We don’t have a large family, but my 4 kids enjoy being homeschooled so much! We do most of our core subjects together, which helps me. I teach those at my oldest child’s level (12 yr old) and my youngest child (6 yr old) learns so much from it! My 6 year old also worked with the older kids to learn to read when he was 3! I like to say I had nothing to do with him learning to read so quickly, but letting them play and teach each other, uninterrupted, is what taught him.

[@OurTribeofMany]

The beauty of homeschool is that you do what works for you.....love this!

[@tammymorgan9309]

I must say that I always enjoy spending time with my NE family! I learn so much and an guaranteed to have a smile on my face before it ends! I pray God's blessings on y'all! Love from SC!

[@Lulu-he9dp]

I don't know your family of course, but I have to say I'm so proud of you as parents and Christians. To put in the time and effort to teach them about God and to home school where your values are the ones they are exposed the most to, is amazing!!! And to hear you listen to each of them as well as talk to them, is so important to know where they are on their journey and that they're still on the right path. You are right that no one is perfect and things will never go completely smoothly, but you have the things in place most important to adjust and move forward. Blessing to your family and thank you for your videos. You all just make me smile soooo big!

[@hhowe4680]

If it wasn’t for covid I would have never imagined homeschooling. I’m so happy our family decided to homeschool! I only have 4 children, my oldest is in Kindergarten, but I’m so excited to one day teach all of my children together.

[@angelag.4478]

I love how your kids are learning from a hands-on approach. Solo and Sarah, excellent job on how you all are raising your kids. They're going to be AWESOME adults. God bless you all!

[@ivycarter2045]

I love seeing the big kids helping the younger kids. Seth smile 😊

[@pamboone6921]

I put heating pads under my seed trays with 2-3 towels folded under,,,it really helped a lot. I can’t wait to watch them grow with y’all ❤️

[@MissyDcherrydaisypie25]

I love this ! You have a beautiful family . Also the bookkeeping and financial learning should be a requirement it’s so valuable as they begin to leave the nest . Our oldest daughter is finishing her freshman year at Oral Roberts University and we are so thankful we were able to prepare her for life away at school

[@gaillitchwolters9324]

Hi, the garden seeds, need a warming pad under them to sprout and grow. They need lots of warmth. I have made lots of mistakes starting seeds. I bought my warming pad from amazon. Happy Growing.🌱🌿🍅🥕🤗

[@OurTribeofMany]

So far they are doing great!

[@vickimontgomery5271]

❤❤❤Homeschooling was such a blessing for our family! Now it is almost time for homeschooling our grands!!! Enjoy the minutes! They do go by so fast!

[@vanessadobbins6885]

God bless your family! It’s beautiful that you all acknowledge The Lord in your lives. Looks like your children really enjoy homeschooling and the older ones help the younger ones. That’s awesome!

[@BrightestBlessings7899]

I use those same jiffy peat pucks and I have not ever used boiling water. If the pucks are still hot when the seeds go in, the seeds could die. I have only used tepid water. No worries. Nice suturing! Cinnamon is antifungal and will stop mold from growing on your seed trays. That way you can have high humidity, closed vents, until everything mostly sprouts.

[@belindaroberts3090]

How awesome is it that your kids are all learning first aide. Great job kids.

Grow beans up onto a fence or trellis-makes harvesting easy too!

[@lilykuang9035]

I absolutely love this! I teach older grades, and am really trying to expand my understanding of how to make “learning” fun for me soon to be 4 year old ( birthday in a week!). I love your approach and it is such an inspiration.

[@raadstock]

This is my first year homeschooling my granddaughter. Guiding her through virtual kindergarten convinced me I could do this well. The thing I am enjoying most is how much I am learning with her.

[@hoosierladyus48]

Solo and Sarah, you have a very blessed family. Who wouldn't want to watch your channel! Well my goodness, you were teaching your kids how to save some ones life and I learned a few things. Sending love from Indiana.

[@megangurwell364]

Hey OTM!! Loving seeing your homeschool episodes. Im a home schooling mama of only 1 and its a hard job sometimes. Wanted to add..the seeds will do best in a south facing window and the vents work best if kept closed until the seedlings pop up.

[@cindiallain8542]

Oh how I would love to be a fly on your wall in class. Just watching the children learn. Thank you.

[@jillh7403]

You are great parents! Such smart kids. Love from Michigan ❤️

[@vickiemouse236]

When I start seeds in the ground, I use the small clear hard plastic cups as a small greenhouse for each seed! Place the cup upside down over the seed and down gently into the soil! As the plant grows I cut the top/bottom of the cup off and replace it over the newly growing plant so it has room to grow upwards! When strong enough I remove the cups and save them for future use🌱🌱🌱 it helps them sprout and keeps the worms, bugs and birds from getting to them🌼

[@gracegoodenough5895]

So great to see you teaching Basic First aid, especially the "baby Hiemlech". Such a simple skill and yet it saves so many little ones.

[@kim-rz3fp]

What a blessing to have everyone involved in SO much and be EXCITED about it. So sweet to see how the olders really enjoy spending time with their younger siblings and really take the time with them. What an inspiration you all are♥️

[@violanorkus9575]

That was very interesting what your teaching your family. I wish that I had known the more in-depth of first aid to have taught my children when they where young. Now they learned as they got older to pass it on to their families.

[@karenlynharshe4571]

I love that they are learning practical things

[@inglis7086]

cilantro in big pots on the northern side of the house once the frosts have stopped - this mean it only has a couple of hours of morning sun in the summer slowing down it's want to bolt and turn to seed by not being in the sun all day

That was fun to watch. I love all the life skills y'all r teaching them. Real life stuff as well and school. This complete education is priceless!!

[@lelaniresnick3435]

I've never watched on my computer, I always watch on my t.v., so I don't comment much, but I just wanted to come on here and say that in the opening you have for this video Belle looks sooooooooo pretty! Not that all of your kids don't always look so handsome and beautiful, but for some reason I happened to look up at the opening for this video and she happened to catch my eye. She looks so grown up, her hair looks amazing and her outfit is so cute. I can't believe how grown everyone looks! I discovered your channel just before you got pregnant with Seth and I have been a faithful follower ever since. You guys are fantastic parents, I just love learning about all your adventures in Kenya, all the new recipes you throw our way and your food prepping. It's refreshing to have someone to watch that is faithful and spreads kindness.

[@grandma0405]

Oh my goodness, your homeschooling is great. I wish more people would take home schooling serious. So many people remove their kids from school because of an issue they don't like but just buy a program and their child is expected to do it w I thought real teaching going on. I respect your style of teaching so much.

[@carolinecoffey5404]

I love you guys and how your family work together, I think home schooling must be cool, it’s not really done much in U.K. I think my kids would have loved it more . Thanks for sharing this with us 🙏🏻

[@mdrookiam]

How to tie knots is one of our favorites. I also played classical music in our home daily low in the background. My adult children will tell how much they love it today. Story telling, be it one child per dinner, two per week, every child will listen and every child loves to be in the spotlight being heard. I tell stories of my youth adventures or memories and my children have gotten to know me through them.

[@elsazarate1982]

We didn't grow up homeschooling but my mom had told myself and my sister that if we wanted to "play school" with my youngest brother that we had to actually teach him. So we would print out worksheets and by workbooks from dollar tree and he was ahead of everyone in his grade. I was 13 when he was born and my sister was 11.

[@sharonadams2858]

I love it! You're the CEO(children☆education ☆officers) of homeschooling. You two provide quality teaching & extraordinary learning skills, learning behavior, experimental research, words of Godly & parental wisdom that's definitely crucial and loads of fun. You provide strategies of teaching that leaves no child left out. That was a fantastic research about the sink Belle.😊 The credentials that are provided here are simply priceless and there's no comparison out there. The natural and the spiritual aspects are matchless!! Don't change your blueprint of your flexibility! 👌🏾🧡🌟🧡

[@bkj2508]

I watched this video this morning! Now am watching it at 12:46pm. It was so interesting! Thank you!

[@virginiacazares9883]

To treat or not to treat, that is the question. Assuming we are working with home saved seeds and not store bought (store bought seeds do not require nor will they benefit from this) While many types of home saved seeds do benefit from hot water soaking, others may suffer from this process. Be sure to be thorough during your research to avoid a timely/costly harvest. Love from Ventura, Ca

[@nicholehillabush7211]

When the seeds sprout, you'll want to put the grow lights closer to the plants so they don't get "leggy" (where the stems get too long and they flop over). Also, when they sprout, put a fan on them. A little wind blowing will help the stems be stronger and they can hold up better to outside breezes! 😁

[@denisecanada3785]

Great new opening. Be safe.

[@amandaharris9757]

Super awesome to see. Also for the beans 5 to 10 gallon pots with a "trellis-like" thing in it for them to grow up is something you could do. Could also be a life skill recycling things to make something for them to grow up. 🤔 Also with your amazing canning skills they will not go to waste.

Hi Solo and Sarah. What a wonderful group of young little citizens. Sarah, I was afraid that my comment was so far down on last video regarding a channel called "Mary's Nest" She has a wonderful recipe for homemade cream cheese and homemade sour cream. She does nutrient dense cooking and prepper pantry stuff and how to cook traditional and away from chemical dense food. Since you love cream cheese and sour cream 😆. I did it and it was soooo yummy.

[@OurTribeofMany]

Thanks for the tip!

[@BrittJeannette]

Love this and your family! The presentation they did was perfect and the littles so excited to help hold up signs was just adorable. I was actually just talking yesterday about I didn't understand homeschooling and what goes on, but this really opened my eyes and now I see that you are teaching them more than most of us public school kids got. Love it, I get so excited when I see you post a video :)

[@kelseyteter7217]

Oh my goodness!! Was that Noelle holding Peace?! When did she get so beeeg?!? 😭😭 And Peace’s beautiful birthmark. Literally looks like an Angel gave her a smooch on the forehead. 💜💜 Did I ever tell you how huge of an impact the term ‘seasons’ has made on me! It’s such a different perspective to look at things like they ARE: just a ‘season,’ not forever. You guys are so smart. 🤗🤗

[@Midwestmomvolunteer365]

Love this - life skills. Our kids did an online school - through out their high school years, their choice. My kids can make a grocery list, shop, bank, understand credit, cook, the list goes on and on. Have a good day everyone.

Hi from Australia 🇦🇺.. it’s fascinating watching you home school, it’s not as big over here as it is in America but it’s amazing to see the variety in your program..

[@ruthkirch9343]

I think ur new teaching is awesome

[@jessicapowell8912]

I love that you teach them how to taxes, bookkeeping, financial responsibility and other life skills. No one taught me and as a grown woman in my 40’s I’m still trying to learn. I wish my parents would have taught me all this young so I could empower my children with the same knowledge.

[@raythom32]

Love how they all work together and get along. We are a family of 8 and it seems that ours always seems to find something to fight or argue about. I know your family isn't perfect, haha but looks like they treat all siblings like other people not just " siblings." I am praying that one day my children will see and realize that. Any ideas on how to get them to act and treat their siblings like other people outside the home?

Good morning OTOM..... glad to see you and the family......a few of my relatives home-schooled their children. My niece is at university, her 3rd year. As an educator, I think however and whatever you decide is best for how you want your kids to be educated. Sarah from what I see, you are doing amazingly as teacher extraordinaire. Doing the start of covid , most parents were out of their element trying to navigate digital learning. Now that kids are back in school, teachers are most appreciated.....thanks for sharing...

[@mindi.m]

I love how the groups work together and the little ones have a part in the process and the presentations. I am really impressed with the life skills curriculum. I was a full time working mom. I only had 2 kids, but they were 12.5 years apart, which meant I had no break in school years. Twenty five years with a kid in our public school system. The only year they overlapped was his kindergarten and her senior year. I was a mess that year. I could not imagine homeschooling. She did teach him to read before he started school, which was really helpful.

[@Crystal88777]

Of course your tribe is beautiful. I like that little blue chair that Peace was sitting that help our family a lot. Info on homeschooling was really great. The demonstration of first aid emergency was just as I remembered from my class years in the professional setting. 🙌🙌🙌

I love your way of home schooling! I am a retired school teacher and the adage: If you want to learn, teach is so true. Allowing your older children to assist with the lessons of the younger ones is giving the older ones lessons in communicate, reinforcing their knowledge, and exposing them to critical thinking skills. I also love introducing them to new life skills and the family field trips!!!! So educational!!!!
