Yes! Raising capable adults and working together as a family is so important! 😊

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Yes indeed!

@reneenewcomb8344 Месяц назад

Yes! I love how you said "It is really not about them helping me, it is about equipping them." It's so fun to see my 14 month twins want to try and copy my older two as they clean up. They want to be a part of doing the work we are doing, too! It always amazes me how much our kids can do and understand from such young ages!

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Yes--they have so much interest when they are little at "helping" and being a part of the work...and they really become capable so quickly!

@trixieannchanluangco9904 Месяц назад

my toddler enjoy helping putting away dishes or preparing rice to cook or would copy me when i sweep and mop.. i think its also a way to teach them that we take care of what the Lord has blessed us.. clothes, home, toys , books etcs 😊

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Yes, when they are toddlers they are so interested in wanting to "help"--and there's so much they can learn when we involve them.

@faithfullyinfertile Месяц назад

I totally agree with you on having kids learn how to do basic living things. Everyone needs to know how to mop a floor, clean a bathroom, tidy an area up and do laundry. I teach my kids these basic skills as they are ready to learn them. It definitely challenging with special needs but they can learn these things. I think when kids literally grow up doing these things since they were very young it just becomes normal living for them and they don't think twice about having to do them when no one else is around to do them but themselves when they are suddenly out on their own in the world living independently.

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Yes, these are skills that will be helpful for everyone--and exactly what you said it my goal, I want all these tasks to be things that just feel like "normal" life (because they are part of normal life) and things they don't think are some big, overwhelming ordeal once they are out on their own. One thing that has stuck out to me about my peers when I was a young adult/college age was how much my peers didn't know what to do about housekeeping/meals/cars...so this is a priority for me.

@emilywinter4821 Месяц назад

We have been to Old Cow Town in Wichita too!! Such a fun place. I also agree about chores. My 3 year old isnt a very big help right now but I can tell he feels proud that he is contributing

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Oh yes--the sense of accomplishment that they get is awesome. They love running to tell their dad when he gets home from work that they mopped, and they are really starting to notice the difference in how the house looks when they were part of cleaning up.

@nateandrosannaengebretson3996 Месяц назад

Oh!!! Chubby baby legs and cheeks are too much!!! So sweet and I miss those days! Seeing the school part makes me miss it…but we have three weeks left of summer vacation, which I’m going to enjoy…at the same time I’m looking forward to school starting again 📚 Pizza looks yummy! 🍕

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Constantly trying to memorize the moments of chubby babyhood and those sweet baby grins! Hey, it's a good thing if you're missing school while it's still vacation season--definitely means you're doing something right!

@KSLewisLearning Месяц назад

I recently had a conversion with my son about why he has to do dishes with me. He said he doesn't like it very much, so I told him I hated doing dishes but I still did them anyway because they still need to be done. It was a funny "aha" moment for him as we discussed which chores we liked and didn't like. For some reason he thought I was doing these things because I enjoyed it! 😂

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Those sorts of conversations are so important to have! We don't know what assumptions or conclusions they are coming to in their little minds as they are figuring out the way the world works. Yes--we do this work not for its entertainment value but because that's the natural rhythm and order of life. We eat the meal and then we wash the dishes.

@themodernhomemaker Месяц назад

I never made my son do chores until now at 5 and I wish I started earlier before he could say “I don’t want to.” Now that I’m older I think it’s definitely good for them to learn these life skills just as important as school. It makes them feel they’re contributing as well.

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

It definitely helps to start young so that as far as they can remember, they've always done these things, but it's never too late! And yes, these sorts of skills are every bit as important as schoolwork--and they take practice to get the hang of sweeping or mopping or understanding all the knowledge and skill that we bring to everyday chores.

@RockSimmer-gal4God Месяц назад

We found morning time works best for us after dinner so our older kids can join in and after the younger kids bed time we finish it with older kids stuff!!! We don’t get all ur to teach chores but I’ve added extra chores for travel like tidying up plates if eating out!!! I agree with the classical chore approach of using chores to teach responsibilities and equipping them!!! My teenagers are doing Star Wars as a literature credit so we are doing thru the whole series!!!

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Yes, even while traveling, so many, many skills to be learned!

@TheBrutonFam Месяц назад

Hi, we are from Kansas and Wichita is only 1hr away from where we live. How cool is that!! ❤

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Aww, awesome! We got to visit Wichita last time we visited the US and had a fun stay visiting family friends.

@gailgroothuis6570 Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing you day. Love seeing you interact with your boys. Raising fine young men!!

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Thanks for watching!

@tunneleddiscovery5 Месяц назад

Clive standing and getting into things! So cute.

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Yes, he's definitely exploring everything he can reach!

@Maria_O Месяц назад

I'm with you Rachel. Kids need life skills! Doing everything for our kids leads to lazy entitled kids.

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

And leads to adults who will be overwhelmed by the prospect of completing simple tasks--because they don't know how.

@amandamendoza4181 Месяц назад

I’m with you on house work. So much easier to do it ourselves, but our job as parents is to train our children.

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Yes--these are incredibly useful skills that will be needed for their whole life! As a college student and young adult, I met too many of my peers who found simple "adulting" skills very overwhelming--that's why I always want to include my kids in the work of life. Plus, it's exciting for them to realize that they CAN do these things--they love to run and tell their dad when he comes home from work that they mopped floors or cleaned bathrooms!

@faithfullyinfertile Месяц назад

Oh Rachel! Baby is pulling up already?!?! You are in for a fun year :) I'll have to finish this later, but thank you so much for these windows into your day. Special days for sure that are so fleeting. 💙

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Yes...that's why I know that this next semester (or next few years) is going to look quite a bit different than last semester with a baby who was not yet on a mission to explore the world...

@faithfullyinfertile Месяц назад

@@SevenInAll yes, homeschooling with a mobile baby to 3 yr old has its unique challenges for sure. My girls are off to their CC challenge classes tomorrow and I’ll be home with the boys starting Curious Kinder 😍

@alystodola Месяц назад

Hi Rachel! Wondering if you have any experience with Spellwell curriculum? If so I’d love to hear your thoughts about it!

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

Hi, I don't have experience with it. In general, I tend to be a fan of the straightforward, simple workbook-exercises approach to spelling (and that's what it looks like Spellwell is): many students can learn spelling rules this way through repetition and practice. Those who struggle significantly with spelling may need a more intensive spelling program like All About Spelling or a more non-traditional program like Spelling-You-See.

@alystodola Месяц назад

@@SevenInAll thank you for your response! I just appreciate your opinions on other curricula, so thought I would ask about this one!

@trixieannchanluangco9904 Месяц назад

Hi, do you use math with confidence with math u see blocks? :)

@SevenInAll Месяц назад

We have at times used both Math U See and MWC, so my kids are familiar with Math U See blocks, so anytime in the Math With Confidence curriculum, when then talk about using manipulatives to show 1s or 10s or 100s, I just use our Math U See blocks.
