Parenting and Homeschool advice - Equipped To Be with... ·

2021/10/13

Strong-willed children do not want to surrender; they want to have their way. Therefore, they often view your instructions as mere suggestions. If they win the argument or don’t have to do what you tell them to do, then they win. The problem is that doesn’t prepare them for life. You are the parent! So, how do you successfully raise a strong-willed child? Listen into this episode for Connie's suggestions on raising strong-willed kids (or strong-minded future leaders)! Read the full show notes

Parents, you have the opportunity to shape and create memorable moments your children will think about for years. A few years ago, I read The Power of Moments by Chip Heath and Dan Heath. If you've read Parenting beyond the Rules, then you know I write about how we can create defining moments with our children. I was doing this when my children were young, which is why I enjoyed reading the book. It affirmed much of what I believed about memory-making. I knew childhood memories were important. I

Importance of Playtime for Children - 76

2021/09/01

You can learn so much about your children from playtime. Playtime for children can be more revealing about who they are than talking or even watching them in a vocation as they get older. When there is no test to pass, no educator to please, God-given strengths can flourish through playtime. So as parents, it's important to remember not to confuse an interest that your child has in something with a strength that remains through life. Helping children pursue interests is not about pushing them to

Knowing your strengths and your child’s strengths can bring great clarity to you and your child so that everyone can see the masterpiece God designed them to be.

Chances are you do. Most people do. While that might make you feel better knowing other people struggle the way you do, that will not help you in the long run. It can't!

2021/07/14

When I began homeschooling in the early '90s, most people didn't know it was legal or if it was possible. Parents had a lot to prove to society, especially since professional educators had convinced parents that only qualified "teachers" were fit to educate children. Well, we worked hard to prove that parents could educate their children thereby disproving their decades-long messaging. It was a tactic used to make parents doubt their ability to educate their children. After thirty years of shaping
