I think the most incredible part of being homeschooled is the part where parents are putting that much time and attention to their children. That’s what I got out of my mom homeschooling me, so much love, time, and attention. You go mama.
I love your comment! So touched to know that this is how being homeschooled impacted you. I grew up in a private school and always had a tutor from school (not motivating and impersonal most of the time). Mom wasn’t hands on at all as she was the breadwinner. It’s a blessing to be taught by your own mom especially if it was done with so much love and care. I plan to home school my 2 y.o sometime soon so hoping to gather some good resources for future reference. God bless! -Ivy 💛
I just can’t get enough of your content. As a single mother who has to work full time, this is the life I pray for and dream of. I’m just so grateful to see it’s possible. I know God has a plan and I’m trusting it. Hopeful that a life like this is still in his plan for me ❤
Halfway through watching this and I just can’t stop thinking how cool it is that your kids are blessed with a mama as thoughtful and filled with ingenuity as you are!
As A Traditional Christian Homesteading, Homemaking, Homeschooling Mother, I Loved This! ♥️🤗🙌🏼🙏 I also LOVE your classroom ♥😍🤗 it's darling 😍🤭♥️ and you did an absolutely AMAZING job! 😉💯🤗 Unfortunately a lot of parents fall under the Stigma and Doom and Gloom of feeling inadequate and unqualified to teach their own children, especially when it comes to proper education and the Indoctrination we've all had on school systems and public and/or private school educations, etc.. I too, felt I was inadequate and didn't have the qualifications to homeschool. I felt I didn't have what it took, and I even graduated from high school and went to college for Business Management and Business Administration and Still felt this way lol, Until I just gave it to The LORD GOD and followed HIS guidance and just did the next right best thing and gave it my all. I've been homeschooling for 4 years now and I love it. There is absolutely NOBODY Better.. NOR More Adequate.. NOR More Qualified To Teach Children than their Own Parents! I love teachers and have a great deal of respect and admiration for them, however, I do NOT like NOR agree with the Educational Systems and Their Corruption and their Insane Ideologies and Indoctrination. It's NOT The Teachers, It's The Corrupt (and Infiltrated) Educational Systems! ▪︎The Good and The Beautiful are EXCELLENT Homeschooling Curriculums and I also include things from k5Learning. I Teach My Children Way MORE than just the basics. 📍For Instance, I Teach MY Children: ▪︎HOW to grow their own food ▪︎HOW to Garden and farm ▪︎Hunting and butchering and processing ▪︎ HOW to Cook and Bake Homemade From Scratch ▪︎HOW to build things ▪︎HOW to sew ▪︎Home Economics and Consumer Science ▪︎Reading ▪︎Writing ▪︎ Math ▪︎English | Vocabulary | Grammer & Punctuation ▪︎Science ▪︎Biology ▪︎Botany ▪︎Cursive ▪︎Spanish ▪︎Biblical Studies ▪︎Health & The Human Body ▪︎Scripture Memorization ▪︎History | Social Studies | Civics | Creation | World History | Etc.. ▪︎Bible Reading & Studies ▪︎Homemaking ▪︎Language Arts | Languages ▪︎Art | Gym | Music | Chorus ▪︎Finances | Budgeting | Check Writing & Balancing | The Value Of A Dollar | Etc.. ▪︎HOW to tend to and take care of Livestock ▪︎foraging | Holistic health | etc.. ▪︎And So Much MORE! I'm sorry this is so long, BUT, My point is, we the parents, teach our children so so very much and on a daily basis too, even without realizing just how much we actually do infact teach them, and so much more. It's so much MORE than a school teaches them and MORE than a school is even equipped to teach them. We can give our children the attention, the time and the love that they NEED and that they deserve, way MORE so than a teacher can. And that's the way it SHOULD be, because WE are the PARENTS of those children, NOT the teachers. Teachers have so many children in their class to teach all throughout the school day that it's impossible for them to tend to each student individually like that. Plus in today's world, Homeschooling your children is the BEST & SAFEST Option! Love Always and GOD Bless Ya'll 💕 🙏 Stephanie 🙋🏼♀️ XoXoxoxoxo 💋
I’ve been a silent viewer for years now (before the first bug 💞), and I just felt inclined to say something today. Although I am not a mother or religious by any means, I have found so much peace from your channel. I find you so strong, intuitive, and someone I look up to when it comes to a worldly outlook. I’m only 22 and just moved into my first home, and you inspire me to be the best I can be for myself and those I love. Much love!
That is excellent. I say yes to this type of homeschooling. I am pleased when I listen to and read about parents who decide to take schooling into their own hands, instead of outsourcing their responsibilities to an institution that specialises in dividing people, bullying, interested only in top scores and top marks, and creating employees for a Job market that will make too many people unemployment and redundant
In mainstream schooling when a teacher or education assessor critises how a student speaks English, this has proven to me that it is not the student to blame. Parents have to understand that their kid is being sifted oout or separated , and that teacher and that assessor don't really know the English language beyond their qualifications and their chosen subculture.
I love seeing this little glimpse into your homeschool! I was homeschooled and I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's such a blessing, and makes me so happy to see more people starting their own homeschool journey!! Lovely outfit, btw 🥰
Good job mama! I have been homeschooling my 6 kids for 16 years (2 graduated) and I can tell you that you are doing great. You can do this. I am still changing routine, curriculum and teaching as we go year after year. There is easier seasons than other but with the support of your community, your family and other homeschool moms, it helps.
I'm only 13 and I love your videos! you are my role model foe when I'm older! if I do have kids I want to rise them like you are! you are an amazing mum! x
It's always so interesting seeing how others homeschool. I've been homeschooling since my 14 year old was 7, I HS him and his 3 younger sisters now too. We did no formal lessons until 7 , in the early years they learn so much just from playing, if we did any lessons it was things like the days of the week song like you did. We don't have a designated school room, because my kids learn all over the house. We are very relaxed homeschoolers and I take advantage of being in the comfort of home, we do the majority of our learning with unit studies, there are some cool ones for preschoolers too.
This is the sweetest thing🥺 makes me excited for when I have children,I’ve always loved the idea of homeschooling and this just showed me exactly why I wanted to. I love the way you explained it when you said it allows you to really see the strengths and weaknesses and to accommodate both. Love this🤍
Milena you are a great example of a mom who can balance between so many things in a mom life. Thank you for being an inspiration You are one of the must to watch channels on my subscription list. Love You and wish you all the best always
This is absolutely an inspiration!! I have been teaching for 3 years (in both 1st grade and Kindergarten), and I am so impressed with the amount of patience and tenderness you show to your babies during homeschooling. You can see and hear just how excited and engaged they are with you and the material. I love this!! Keep rocking momma!!! This is not an easy feat but somehow you make it look so effortless!!! You’re doing excellent!! I may or may not be considering homeschooling my baby now😂
Love this!! I was homeschooled & I have a 3, 2, & 2 week old & am homeschooling as well! You’re so right, Homeschool is not supposed to look like public school. It’s what works for your family! You’re doing so great! 🫶🏼
Great job Milena!!! Learning as we go is what parenting is all about! ❤️❤️ I have been homeschooling for about two years and I am so thankful for how it has blessed our family!! 🙏🏼❤️ So happy you are enjoying it and May God continue to bless your homeschool journey! 🙏🏼❤️
I had great success with H.E I was solely responsible the ex being a plumber. I was the one who had the ability to do it and I loved it and it worked with success beyond belief.
As an elementary school teacher, some of the things you say about school really hurts my heart. I know public school isn’t for everyone, but I think some of your preconceptions aren’t necessarily accurate to a real life classroom (or at least in my district). On the flip side, you’re doing a lot of great homeschool work for kids their age. One thing I would 100% add for yourself is some sort of progress monitoring. This way you can take those strengths and weaknesses you mentioned and track their growth. It also helps you better prepare what material or content matter to work on.
You mentioned monitoring system , here’s the thing , I am a homeschool mom and I discovered a great disadvantage of having one on one education is that it minimizes the necessity of keeping score through test and quizzes because you can visually and consistently see how much the child is “mastering” a skill . I simply go over a lesson a few times if my gut tells me my child is struggling
With my 6 yr old, I've noticed that on some things we have to break it down into smaller pieces in math and use repetition, for instance, when we were learning how to tell time. Its so wonderful to teach our kids to learn and see them grasp new things. Wonderful job!
Love! I homeschool my 7,4, and almost 2 year old while working from home full time. I love seeing how others school and picking up little things we can add or change in our home ❤
This was so helpful and makes me excited to homeschool our kiddos for at least the first couple years! I honestly used to never see myself homeschooling my kids but videos like these have completely changed my perspective 🤎
Hi milena! I've been praying to the Lord so much recently! We just got married and the photographer isn't sending us ANY ceremony photos because it isn't up to her quality standards. We are so heartbroken and devastated. I have asked for a refund and to be able to see the photos, and was told no. I recently reached out to a lawyer and we are going to seek legal action. I've given this to the Lord and I just want to keep fighting for my pictures & our special day. 💗
That seems like a weird reason to not send any photos from your ceremony. Did you have any attendees who snapped a few to remember that moment? We had an uncle take our photos and he was alright, but I honestly used more of the iPhone photos from our guests from the day. I loved the different angles and points of view from them.
Wow that is devastating! I am so sorry! I’m someone who regularly looks back at photos because I love how good memories make me feel. I couldn’t imagine not having ANY on my wedding day! Going to say a prayer for y’all right now!
I love the traditional, minimalistic approach you have going on. Kids don’t have to be overstimulated and that’s the problem with today. My daughter will be in Kindergarten this fall and this will be my first official homeschool year under the regulations of the state, but in reality I’ve been homeschooling my babygirl since she was 2.5/3 years old.
I'm not a mom yet (hopefully will be someday if it's the Lord's plan) but I want so badly to homeschool my kids. I went to a private school for preschool-8th grade, then a public school for 1 1/2, and now i have been in an online school for a year. Safe to say I've experienced it all, and I just love your setup and your routine!
Thank you Milena for sharing your experience. Please keep on updating us, I would love to know what are the pros and cons of homeschooling and how you guys manage your time (work, homeschool, family)
Milena, I loved this video so much. I pray that homeschool will give you and your children many blessings! I feel that homeschool has a negative connotation sometimes and this video just shows a beautiful side of it. Thank you for being you and putting out content that can help so many. You are giving a new or different perspective that people maybe have never thought about. I hope you and your family has a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 ❤
I been looking for a nice school room/ playroom set up and love how you explained it with having multiples and separation. Will use a lot of your tips for our official first year 2024 (4 year old and 2 year old)
Keep sharing your story mama! Like you said, there's a million different ways to homeschool, but the more people share, the more ideas we can all learn from!
I loved this video!! I was homeschooled from 5th-12th and loved it!! My Mom, sister, and I were so close because we were together all the time and I wouldn’t have traded that for anything. My daughter is only two, but she is ready to start homeschooling to some degree like Ari probably in January. So this video helped a ton with curriculum and activities. Thank you for sharing!! ❤
This was so precious 🥲🥰 props to you for homeschooling your children. They will be thankful you did this for them. Its clear you love them so much💜 i was bullied bad in highschool and my mom offered to home school me, i wish i took that offer❤️lots of love xo
I have never thought of homeschooling my 3 yr old, but this Just inspired me to def start doing that! Sadly I am working 4 days a week, but I can for Sure Scratch Out some time every day, and on the Weekend we have more time. This Looks so lovely ! 😍
I'm in California and am excited about homeschooling and also VERY nervous at the same time! I personally had a hard time with public school, I didn't learn the same as everyone else. Kids deserve to learn in the way that works best for them! Thank you for sharing and giving me (much needed) inspo!
I was homeschooled till my freshman year of high school and loved every minute!🤍 So thankful my mom did that for me and my siblings and I hope to do that for my own children one day!
we are doing the same curriculum too! it’s going so well & my daughter is thriving. she looks forward to school every day & asks for more when we stop🤎
For a long time I loooved the idea of having a school room and library. Now because of how the world is, I feel the need to homeschool. My kids are older, and so idk 🤷🏻♀️ . I worry I may bite off more than I chew. But this is very motivating! Really like your school room, so pretty 😊
I'm so happy to see you using The good and the beautiful! My son is in 1st grade.. we've been using this curriculum since preschool. He is very smart (I know every parent says this 😂) but he could read in preschool. He's reading at a 2nd-3rd grade level now. And he loves to learn. The good and the beautiful has been perfect for him. My second son is 3 and is doing the preschool now too. 😊
Hi Milena…I don’t have any children but I quickly clicked on this video. I LOVED watching this. It was sO cute. Your daughter is absolutely adorable while doing her schooling. You are doing a great job teaching. ❤
We use the good and the beautiful too! It’s wonderful. This is my second year homeschooling. I have one in first grade, one in kindergarten and I have a newborn now so things are always changing in how we work but that’s the beauty of it! Thanks for sharing, God bless. ❤️
I am a homeschool parent of 4 5 and under loved your video and we do use the good and the beautiful but pre k was not our favorite both my 3 and 5 year old are reading but it's because we only stuck to letter sounds until they could do cvc then we introduce letter names I found that my 3 yo was getting confused with letter sounds at beginning since his schooling had been mainly overhearing what my older daughter did so he kept struggling with cvc at the beginning we do explode the code and jady a has a great course on homeschooling it really helped me navigate in my homeschool
im always to lazy to comment but man man man you are such a great mom and you inspire me so much. i have so much respect for your patience with the kids. they are so lucky 😍 please make more homeschool content.
I’ve been watching you for years and I now have a 2 1/2 year old and my dream parenting is your parenting! You are so patient and kind to your kids! I look up to you so much!
Your the first video I've came across where I love how you homeschool I am homeschooling my 4 year old and 2 year old they are great with learning we are doing a homeschool set up for them I'll be sure to follow and get some tips
TGATB is Mormon, although they make the curriculum non denominational 🥰 and they do go to up to high school besides math! We love them so much! Great choice mama! You are doing amazing and inspiring! Please do more homeschool videos ❤
Thank you so much for doing this video on homeschooling!! It’s so helpful for me to not feel intimidated on homeschooling my little ones. I am considering do this full time in the future as they get older, but so nervous about it. More more videos like this please!
I follow you on instagram and glad i came across this video on RU-vid. Feeling a bit lost and doubting myself today on the homeschool front and wondering if I'm doing enough or capable... we don't have enough money for most resources so a lot of the times I'm writing exercises myself. Just had a new baby too, so there's that. Overwhelming... your video helps me to regain focus and remember my why as well as inspire ideas for creating a neutral but purposeful homeschool environment so Thank you.
Love this tour of your classroom I am a beginner homeschool Mom also. This is off topic but where did you find your skirt please, I am looking for skirts that length and style.
Okay I love this so much! Currently my little one is 18 months old but I know I’m going to homeschool and have been researching for the past few weeks. I’m so excited and as a former public school elementary teacher.. I adore your enthusiasm when teaching your little ones! You’re doing a great job and I hope you do more homeschool videos.
Also, 2 great books are Edith Schaffer's What is a Family and Elisabeth Elliot's The Shaping of a Christian Family. Specifically for homeschool would be For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaffer MacAulay. It's a classic.
Your video is a lifesaver. I admire your way of homeschooling. In Japan, we do not have enough English education systems to build. Therefore, I have been struggling with my emotions every day and did not know the most optimal approach for kids. I felt massive pressure for homeschooling how to organize room, materials, toys, tablets, and flashcards. Moreover, I did not know how to introduce English vocabulary to kids. Your video taught me countless useful pieces of knowledge on how to set up homeschooling and English education. Much Appreciated. ♡
Such a great video! I love your excitement for teaching your kids and being with them! Great job mama! Also wonderful verse to have in the video! ❤️🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much for sharing! I plan to homeschool my 3 year old with the Good and the Beautiful so this was so helpful to see and made me excited to get started.
Hi from another preK homeschooling mom! My daughter is newly 4 and what we’ve been doing is a bit less structured than what you are - but I love this video and it’s giving me lots of ideas! I also do day of the week, month and number & weather. But other than that we don’t do anything but play and whatever arts and crafts she wants. I am using the book “teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons” and she’s on lesson 50 and doing so well! I suggest it once you get to that step if you’re looking for something. So many friends have used it and everyone says it works every time! I’m really conflicted about whether to start kindergarten with her next year or do another year of preK (she’ll be 5 at the end of September). I’m guessing you’ll do 2 years of preK with Alethea? Or will you do kindergarten next year?
Obviously I don’t know you and your family and where your daughter is developmentally, but I also have a late September birthday and my mom kept me back a year. Now being in college I am FOREVER thankful she did that, and I love being on the older end of my peers. Leaving home at 18 almost 19 was SOOO much easier than if I had been 17 and I am so thankful for that extra year at home with my family. Just my thoughts!
@@kaitlyn.j this is really helpful, thank you!! I really am torn so hearing your experience helps. I wonder about whether she'd like to be older or younger than her peers and I can't really ask her and get a legit answer because she won't know either! lol
Excited for this video! I have a 3 yr old & a 6 mo old and trying to figure out schooling has been a very difficult decision for us! I’m intrigued by homeschool just not sure I could do it!
I strongly suggest looking into the Montessori method. Ashley's channel was so good i just never thought I'd have the option to home education here in the uk which is actually legal and easy.
Love it!! I have been so anti-homeschooling for my own child because I didn’t really enjoy my experience of it growing up. Your video however was so inspiring. I’m keen to incorporate some of these things with my 3yr old soon, and I live your reasons behind why you are doing this. You are giving your kids such a great gift
I think it’s nice to share whatever stage you’re at. I felt the same way about sharing because we’ve only been doing it for a few years but you never know who it’s going to help. We do homeschool during nap too because we have young toddlers and it can be hard with all 4 kids 🫠
What are the odds?! We are the same age and have been pregnant at the same time with the same number of kids and same genders for each child! I was just talking about homeschooling my oldest daughter and my 1 year old but I didn’t even know where to start. Thank you so much for making this video!
Love this!! I’m just now starting to homeschool my two boys! Literally found your video bc I was looking for a schedule. 😅 love the way you incorporate God into the day so the kids learn who He is. 🩵🙏🏽
I love your set up! We use the good and the beautiful too. My son just finished the preschool course book. I love that your sharing your homeschool journey. We've been using the good and the beautiful for 3 years now and it's been a great curriculum for all my kids :) abraços do Canada 🇨🇦
I legit love this so much 😊I’m in the same boat with a four month old girl and 2.5 year old boy and almost 4 year old girl in February. I was just praying about this and we’ve stopped and started homeschooling but all this pressure to perform I’ve just felt so stuck so thsi was really nice as a reminder
