Give them a reason for being good and a consequence if they aren’t. I see my job as a parent is to teach them that being good (obedience to God, laws) has wonderful benefits (Heaven, citizenship) and not being good (disobedience to God, crime) has terrible consequences (Hell, prison). I love “catching them being good” […]
Q: How do you include Catholic faith into your homeschool? Any good Catholic bible studies or amazing resources you’ve found? I’ve got a 2nd grader, kindergartner, 3 yr old, and baby. We read saints stories, the children’s bible we have, have our church’s religious education book to use as requested by our pastor for the sacraments, […]
Sometimes it’s not the school part of homeschool that stops up the works, sometimes it’s being buried under laundry or deciding what to have for dinner. There are sooo many blog posts to help you do meal planning. I don’t love the work involved, but I love the result of 30-day cooking. So, if you’d […]
My son has been sucked into a video game! Well, not exactly. However, I’ve been busy lately and he’s been getting more “screen time” than I felt was good for him. He’s not being bad…so it doesn’t require punishment, but it does require – me. I needed to be more proactive about how he’s spending […]
When we presented the concept of dyslexia to our 8th grade son just before having him tested, we presented it as a positive (with the tiny negative that you have to work harder to read — but hard work is a virtue, anyway.) Once he was diagnosed as dyslexic, we described what dyslexia was including […]
I called Jenn, desperate for help, preparing my student for her upcoming high school years homeschooling. She has great insight on the requirements for high school and also great suggestions on curriculum based on the students needs. Her follow up with an email included the notes from our meeting and the additional information she promised. Very pleased with her knowledge and professionalism and will be utilizing her services throughout high school! Now I’m beyond excited for the upcoming years knowing Jenn is there to help us!
Jennifer was very encouraging and helpful in consulting with me on my daughter’s struggle with reading. She gave me lots of helpful information and insight.
Jenn is fantastic at helping you organize YOUR homeschool, not just implementing HERS in your home. When my family had some personal struggles that zapped my brain of it’s ability to function Jenn opened her co-op to my kids, shared her lesson plan layout and resource list…she took all the brain work out of the year for me. We execute plans in different ways but that is what is so beautiful about working with her……she is passionate about the TRUE essence of homeschooling which is the parents educating their children in a way that fits them. She is a walking, talking example of the best homeschool how-to book you’ll ever read!!
This has been the best help I have come upon in my homeschool adventure. Jenn has amazing insight and an enormous amount of resources and experience.
Jenn was instrumental in setting up educational goals for my children, outlining a schedule that was reasonable, and recommending curriculum for my kids (6th and kinder). She is knowledgeable and strategic in her suggestion of resources. Highly recommend!
