This was so powerful. Wow!
The Art of Homeschooling is my favorite course!! This was so encouraging! Just what I needed to hear and be reminded of 😊The 3 Things to be ready was super helpful! (Note: Mystie, it seemed that there were ads in this video every couple minutes in this video, it really broke up what you were saying and made it hard to follow sometimes. Maybe you could move the ads to some natural breaks. CZcams must have put them in weird spots 😜)
Thanks for letting me know! I thought I turned off midroll ads!
I was so blessed to be part of a book club hosted by an older mom in our church. It was geared toward homeschooling moms but much of our conversation landed on homemaking. Sharing ideas and helping others troubleshoot was so refreshing. I need to suggest that she do your book next Mystie!
I was hoping you would suggest some ideas of consequences for not getting done by the deadline. Do you have that in another video?
Can you show more examples please.
Great directives! ❤
I believe you! 😂
Love how you described homeschool as an art and a dance .. that is beautiful!!
hi!!! yahhhh ohio! i want to move back!
Great video, thank you Mystie!
Great video, good ideas for my day job
Wonderful! Refreshing!! Off to buy your Convival Homeschool book! As a 14 year homeschool veteran, getting a hug every once in a while feels nice! Thank you!❤
Mystie do you have your plans for your Highschoolers listed somewhere?
This was so good! I’ve been thinking about joining your community for awhile now and after this video, my decision is solidified! In any of the workshops, do you discuss transitions? I continually have the issue of stopping and moving on to the next thing. It’s like when you get in a good groove and the kids are being amazing so you decide to keep going with whatever you’re doing. But then the rest of everything else is off track. It’s just a reoccurring issue for me and I’m wondering if you discuss this in any way? Also, I can’t get the CEODAY code to work. Does this mean it was for last Thursday?
I enjoyed this! I need help for a 8 yr old who will do the lesson fine, but his coming TO the lesson is awful :( I don't know what the consequence should be. it's been 2 years of bad attitude in coming to lessons .
Practice! Make him ask for your forgiveness for being grumpy, pray and ask God to forgive him for ingratitude and grumpiness and ask God to give him a happy heart, and make him come in and try again. Repeat as often as necessary.
Worry less about making him feel a certain way or whether or not his apology is heartfelt and think about it as teaching him how to make things right. He'll know the process by practice.
Wow! I need a template of Lauren's husband's plan for her then forth grade son. I relate to that so much, but my son is entering 7th grade.
"Homeschooling belongs on the top three of your daily card." I live by this now 😆😀😁💜💖
So good! Thank you for sharing on CZcams!!💜💖 I feel like the things that I have learned through my own experience are the things that you teach. I haven't heard most of what you say elsewhere. It's so confirming to hear someone say what I've learned through my own 8 year journey. As well as me learning a ton from you on top of it! What I'm referring to is how you suggest allocating your time and just so many truths it's hard to sum up.
Thank you so much! This was so helpful. Love the budget analogy. I'm listening to this a second time to really glean all the good stuff ! God bless!
Wonderful and encouraging. Thank you for sharing!
Make an alignment card and tell me what you put on it and where you put it!
You obviously don't have ADHD if you can joke that, maybe you just need to write some things down... I don't disagree that our overuse of digital devices shortens our attention span and does cause ADHD symptoms in those that don't actually have it. But I dealt with enough shame and thinking there was something wrong with me prior to finding out I had ADHD that to have someone imply that maybe it's my fault and I just need to make a list, is super insulting.
You are correct: I don't have ADHD, but I do get the symptoms when I am on my phone too much and not writing things down. I often see women using a self-diagnosis of ADHD as an excuse - when they could make changes that solve their symptoms, but instead a diagnosis lets them off the hook for trying. Phone addiction looks just like ADHD, so it's something we should all take seriously. However, I also have many women in my community with legitimate ADHD diagnosis and the same techniques also help them handle life better. Laughing and joking and trying things is a healthier response than comparing yourself and feeling shame and staying stuck because you refuse to approach the situation and yourself with humor. Being offended is a choice. Even with ADHD, you are not stuck and you are not a victim. You just have to try different things and work with what you got, adjusting your expectations and approach. All 3 techniques I explain in this workshop have helped many women with ADHD in my community.
@@simplyconvivial There's absolutely work-arounds and resources that have been life changing but the difference now is that I know that when I fall apart, I know I am not a failure, I just have executive function difficulties. I can dust myself off and carry on, not get mired down in yet another failure. I think what bothered me is there may be others out there with actual ADHD and you implied that the problem is that they don't make a list. It's a lot more than that... It's not quite so trivial. There were too many years of thinking I just didn't try hard enough. I guess I did sound offended but I suppose that's because it felt like you were brushing off the struggles of ADHD. People with executive disorders definitely need systems. They help a lot but just because they are running around like a chicken with their head cut off doesn't mean they aren't trying. Just because you can walk, doesn't mean you can tell someone in a wheelchair to walk. I don't feel shame like I did before because I understand what ADHD is and how it affects me so that when I have difficulties I know it's not me as a whole person being a failure, it's part of how my brain works. And I am able to approach it with humor but that's not the same as trying to dismiss the validity of the isuue. Knowing I have ADHD has been empowering for me and I do appreciate the resources you are sharing and look forward to incorporating them. It just felt like you were minimizing what some people might be going through.
I thought you were my age (34)- but you have grand-babies! (You look so young!) Thank you for this video-it’s just what I needed to hear!!
I was married young and had a baby at 21 and my oldest married young and just had his first at 20, so I'm a 42-year-old grandma - it's pretty great!! :)
Wonderful, thank you! ❤
Loved this..
I'm not sure how to make a team.
Plodder has a negative connotation. Reframing/renaming the "plodder" as the Process person. 😊
Great for those without many things to do.
Hey, I saw a video of you with great tips. But I won't watch this one, because saturday is sabbath, a day to rest as God says in the Bible.
Hey Mystie! Wasn't sure best way to contact you. I just received your book from Amazon! I had hoped to read it along with my husband. I am chronically sick with 5 kids and pregnant. Our biggest marriage struggle is that he expect me to run a house well no matter how sick I get or feel. Dishes mostly done, laundry not piling, bathrooms always cleaned, spills always cleaned quickly etc... I end up just plodding and doing what I think is the most important (dishes, food, school etc...) and a lot of other things get done later. Anyways, I was hoping your book would help lower his expectations and encourage me to do the little I can better. Would you suggest your book for that? I'm just concerned after persuing is that he will say "see, you can do it all" you just think you can't. But its not true. I am limited and its just the way it is in this season. Any thoughts?? Thanks so much!!
Hi Kaitlin - try reading the book yourself first and see what you think. It's more about changing your attitude and perspective than giving you tactics for "getting it all done." I will say that I think much marriage conflict over differing expectations happens because conversations quickly become too emotionally charged for any actual communication to take place. Neither person can receive input when defenses are up and emotions are high. What can you do to first put yourself on the same team as your husband instead of seeing him as an unreasonable taskmaster?
@@simplyconvivial Thank you for your thoughtful response! It had some good food for thought! I have watched your videos for years and years and I'm sure the book will be good! We are doing marriage counseling trying to help us with this subject. I think with everything combined we will end up where we need to be! Thank you :)
Outstanding recommendations!
Does anyone do chores with their kids using index cards???
I've been reading Up From Slavery and Booker T Washington talks about how slavery was such a disservice to all Americans because it gave us a disdain for work. This video hit home today, thank you for saying our life isn't meant to be eating gravel. Thank you!
That's such a good point!
Beautifully said! 👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you!
Hey Mystie! Did you do 5 days per week for school or 4?? Thanks!
I did school 4 days a week until I had 5 students including a 7th grader, then we had to go to 5, but we were still done soon after lunch - for us, that was better than 4 longer days. When we did 4 days a week, I took Monday off as a Sabbath recovery and week set-up day - I loved it!
@@simplyconvivial Thank you! Sounds like you had lots of tips for making homeschool less overwhelming! We have been using Memoria Press which has books set up for you to do Mon-Fri. Any idea on how to change that or 4 days? I just switched one to ACE and that will be much easier to do the 4 days with. It just really messes me up if we aren't on the same day as the instruction manual. lol :P
This is so good, so helpful and very, very practical!
I'm so glad you liked it!
Well stated
Thanks!
hey u ever want to do a study?
❤ love
This was really helpful. My perfectionism has made it very hard for me to get started on things (always stuck in the mode of waiting for the opportunity to plan it all out and make that colorful chart...haha) and then nothing gets started. I have attempted to start setting the timer for time increments, at various times throughout the day, and strive for just doing something (small as it may be) rather than waiting for the perfect time to finish it all. Just in the baby stages, but hoping it helps me grow in this area!
A timer really is a great tool for getting stuff done. Starting is the hardest part, but we can usually dive in for 10 minutes - and some is always better than none!
This is so great Mystie. So so helpful
Glad it was helpful!
I love this idea!
Isn't it fun?!
Hi❤ love your content all the time:) I have an unrelated question.. when you plan your days or your weeks, do you add your kids chores on your to do list??
I did when I had 5 kids I was tracking and all their school. Then it was on my weekly dashboard. Now I just have 3 big big kids at home who do the same chore every day, so they keep track.
@@simplyconvivial thank you:)
💜💖
I would have loved examples of what the a "seed" would be, and what it would look like to grow that habit over time. I am having trouble figuring out what the seed would be to different habits I want to accomplish.
That's a good point. For a prayer habit, the seed we plant in the Humble Habits course is to have a one-line prayer to repeat as soon after you wake up as possible. The goal is to make it a default first act of the day. Obviously, that's not a full prayer routine, but it DOES prepare your mind and heart to pray more readily later. It starts your day in a prayerful tone, which makes a later prayer time easier to start.
We've been homeschooling for 15 years and would switch back and forth from school schedule to year-round depending on our needs. We have a new baby coming in August (baby #6) and won't start the school year until after Labor Day and go year round. We will be taking multiple breaks throughout the year to give myself a rest. This pregnancy has been pretty rough and I don't want to overdo it. I have a 13 y/o that has learned to use my tiredness to her advantage. Gotta stay on top of it.
Sounds like a great plan! Congratulations on baby #6!
Thank you for these continual reminders 🩷
This hit me hard! I'm hopeful for change, can't wait to hear more.
