6:44
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
6:48
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so yes, the unit studies have multiple um age ages in there.
6:57
SPEAKER_00: So there's some for littles, there's some for bigs, there's a mix.
6:59
SPEAKER_00: That's why there's so many.
7:00
SPEAKER_00: You can't have to watch them all.
7:02
SPEAKER_00: Just go to the age-appropriate ones.
7:03
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
7:05
SPEAKER_00: Um, okay.
7:08
SPEAKER_00: Why?
7:09
SPEAKER_00: Why now?
7:13
SPEAKER_00: Little stinker dog knows every time.
7:15
SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you right now, my dog, he's a golden doodle, very intelligent.
7:19
SPEAKER_00: But every time I get on a live, he either finds his squeaky toy because he doesn't appreciate me ignoring him, or he decides that's when he needs to go to the bathroom, even if he just did, and pokes at me.
7:31
SPEAKER_00: And so when my kids are around, they handle it.
7:33
SPEAKER_00: But when they're not, that dog is too smart for his own good.
7:38
SPEAKER_00: To enter the units today, we need to purchase for the homeschool, correct?
7:41
SPEAKER_00: Um, okay, so yes and no.
7:47
SPEAKER_00: Let me explain.
7:50
SPEAKER_00: So I say yes and no because we are currently working on a little something here.
7:54
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
7:56
SPEAKER_00: So right now, if you go to the class, actually, let me let me show you what it looks like if you're in the free community.
8:05
SPEAKER_00: So here's what it looks like right now.
8:08
SPEAKER_00: If you're in the free community, you have access to these, and these are locked.
8:12
SPEAKER_00: You can buy the entire year.
8:13
SPEAKER_00: So when you purchase that$97, you get the whole year, the whole year.
8:19
SPEAKER_00: But hold on.

8:54
SPEAKER_00: And there are a lot of you who still would like our curriculum and our resources and access to all of our things.

9:30
SPEAKER_00: Trisha and I have a lot of work to do.
9:33
SPEAKER_00: Um Epic will be part of it.
9:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so we're working on the resources because what we're trying to do is make our resources available for those of you who can't get into the go-up because our classes are live, but we want you to still be able to access the resources.
9:47
SPEAKER_00: So give me four, give me, give me a few more days.

10:11
SPEAKER_00: These are all guides.
10:14
SPEAKER_00: This is actually a book I wrote about five years ago, which I'm currently updating because I now have teenagers and adult children, but you get it for free right now.
10:23
SPEAKER_00: Um, this is the village record book you get for free, which it allows you to keep track of all of your children's learning if you need to do that.
10:30

13:49
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
13:49
SPEAKER_00: Joelle and um Joel, I already sent you your your thing from last week.

14:13
SPEAKER_00: Yes, the co-op is full right now.
14:14
SPEAKER_00: We don't have places, but what we are doing and what we are in the process of right now is making all the rest available to you.
14:22
SPEAKER_00: Okay, you're not seeing everything.
14:24
SPEAKER_00: So, Beth, you are also in the free community, correct?
14:28
SPEAKER_00: You can't see everyone's messages?
14:30
SPEAKER_00: Hey, Trish, we need to look on some settings.
14:32
SPEAKER_00: You should be able to see all the messages.
14:34
SPEAKER_00: That might be a weird setting I've done somewhere, which is odd.
14:39
SPEAKER_00: So, are you guys seeing um Janelle can.
14:51
SPEAKER_00: Beth can't.
14:59
SPEAKER_00: Maybe it was from last week.
15:01
SPEAKER_00: So here's what happens sometimes, oddly.
15:04
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes the messages that I'm reading are last week's, but I don't look at the date I'm just reading through.
15:10
SPEAKER_00: And last week's will pop up on here because it's all the same link to the same meeting.
15:13
SPEAKER_00: And so I don't know what's going on.
15:15
SPEAKER_00: I think that's what when you say message, you should talk about the feed.
15:18
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I was going through the feed.
15:19
SPEAKER_00: So, all right.
15:21
SPEAKER_00: So, for anybody who's interested, we are currently working on separating out the curriculum and resources from the co-op.
15:28
SPEAKER_00: Now, the co-op, when you have the live classes, you also get all the curriculum and resources.
15:33
SPEAKER_00: Okay, you get all of it.
15:35
SPEAKER_00: But right now, the the live the online curriculums and the the what to do with your child are not available unless you're in the co-op.
15:44
SPEAKER_00: Well, we realized we're we're blocking you.
15:47
SPEAKER_00: We didn't want to block you.
15:48
SPEAKER_00: So we want to get make this available for everybody.
15:50
SPEAKER_00: So what happens is you'll be able to join and you'll see um an announcement once we're ready.
15:57
SPEAKER_00: You'll be able to join the resources and be able to use all of the resources that we have: the epic, the um creative bug, the type C, all those things.
16:08
SPEAKER_00: You'll be able to sign up to get those.
16:11
SPEAKER_00: And then the people who sign up for the programs will be first on the list for the co-op because it's just an add-on on classes.
16:19
SPEAKER_00: So we will go there first and say, anybody who's currently using just the programs, we have an opening.
16:24
SPEAKER_00: You're welcome in.
16:25
SPEAKER_00: Come on in and we'll open those up as those come.
16:28
SPEAKER_00: For those who don't want to, that's fine.
16:31
SPEAKER_00: And then once we open up for January, we invite the people in from the programs, and then we will then reach out to the free community, and then we'll go to our email list, and then we'll go to social media.
16:41
SPEAKER_00: So it's those who've been around the longest get and put in the most, get the first um dibs, is how we're doing that.
16:49
SPEAKER_00: We like to reward your loyalty.
16:52
SPEAKER_00: So um so when you guys are saying in here in this chat, I'm not saying everything, neither am I.
17:05
SPEAKER_00: Is that because of the chat?
17:06
SPEAKER_00: Because I think I went back too far.
17:08
SPEAKER_00: That's what happens.
17:10
SPEAKER_00: So let me show you.
17:14
SPEAKER_00: Okay, ignore that then.
17:16
SPEAKER_00: Let me show you what um what's in the co-op that is going to be made available very soon.
17:23
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
17:26
SPEAKER_00: So if you go in here, right?
17:29
SPEAKER_00: In I'm gonna show you the co-op because it will be available.
17:33
SPEAKER_00: Oops, sorry, in the co-op, and you go to classroom.
17:37
SPEAKER_00: Now, in the co-op, we give an actual breakdown of each child's age, and we don't do first grade, second grade, third grade, because children kind of float between grades.
17:51
SPEAKER_00: So we do a pre-K and K, right?
17:54
SPEAKER_00: We do a first through third, we do a fourth through sixth because your child might be a little behind her ahead, and we don't want to block them into an age.
18:02
SPEAKER_00: We have seventh and eighth, and then this is your high school, and high school goes to a completely different school account.
18:08
SPEAKER_00: But in here, you will be like if your child is first, second, or third grade, you come in here and we give you your suggested learning path.
18:18
SPEAKER_00: If you're blue, and then we explain it for you exactly what you're gonna get, you get login sheets, all the instructions that you need.
18:26
SPEAKER_00: We show you, we give you your reading curriculums, we give you your writing curriculums, we give you your math.
18:31
SPEAKER_00: So all of these things are included.
18:33
SPEAKER_00: I even show you when to do it and why.
18:36
SPEAKER_00: There's calendars in here, it's completely organized.
18:40
SPEAKER_00: Now, the beauty of this is if you have multiple children and you have a third grader, a sixth grader, and a seventh grader, the schedules match up.
18:48
SPEAKER_00: So they're all doing the same thing at the same time.
18:50
SPEAKER_00: They might be using a different level, they might be doing a different um something more for a little harder for the older ones, right?
18:57
SPEAKER_00: And something, but they're all doing the same thing at the same time.
19:00
SPEAKER_00: So everybody's working on math on the same area.
19:03
SPEAKER_00: Everybody's working at the same time, everybody's working on, so you're not monitoring or or um trying to schedule and what's the word I'm looking for here, juggle multiple children.
19:16
SPEAKER_00: We've built it so that all your kids are on the same path at the same time in the same places, but we show you where they need to be more age appropriately, depending, right?
19:26
SPEAKER_00: Does that make sense?
19:27
SPEAKER_00: So these right here are right now, it won't be, it'll be these colors and the access that you'll need.
19:36
SPEAKER_00: You'll get the unit studies and you'll get the file cabinet all included with all the resources that you need once we open that up.
19:45
SPEAKER_00: Now that, so that is coming.
19:47
SPEAKER_00: We're hoping to have it ready by the end of the week.
19:50
SPEAKER_00: We're working out all the details, making sure that we're clear and concise.
19:53
SPEAKER_00: I got a bunch of videos to make so that you understand where I'm going and what I'm doing with it.
19:58
SPEAKER_00: Um, and so, and to make your lives easier so that you can get all of those things.
20:03
SPEAKER_00: Okay, Trish and I are working on it.
20:04
SPEAKER_00: We're working hard.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: Um, I was working all weekend.
20:08
SPEAKER_00: I usually take the weekends off, you guys, and this weekend I was just go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
20:12
SPEAKER_00: So we're trying to get this done.
20:14
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
20:15
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for all the celebrations.
20:17
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
20:18
SPEAKER_00: So we are working on this to get you the stuff that you need, even while our classes are full.
20:23
SPEAKER_00: And then when the class is open, those in there will get first dibs, and then the free community will get second dibs, our email list will get third dibs, and then uh social media will get fourth dib.
20:35
SPEAKER_00: So, questions, thoughts.
20:41
SPEAKER_00: Yes, our pleasure, Beth.
20:44
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
20:45
SPEAKER_00: Um, okay, so we've had a lot of new moms.
20:48
SPEAKER_00: Well, I say moms, I need to stop doing that.
20:50
SPEAKER_00: Trish keeps telling me, Becky, there's grandmothers in here, there's grandfathers in here, and there are dads in here.
20:57
SPEAKER_00: Um, and I need to stop so parents and grandparents.
21:01
SPEAKER_00: Um, Marisol, do you have programs that help neurodivergent children?
21:06
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
21:06
SPEAKER_00: Uh, my son has ADHD.
21:08
SPEAKER_00: My son has been having a hard time and asking to not go to school.
21:11
SPEAKER_00: Are is he currently enrolled and you're wanting to take him out?
21:15
SPEAKER_00: So, Marisol, I'm gonna tell you right now, all of my homeschool village was built around children with ADHD, learning needs, uh, dyslexia, um, autism.
21:31
SPEAKER_00: So, all of my homeschool village is literally IEP friendly, 504 friendly.
21:38
SPEAKER_00: It's built for a child who has special needs because every child has a special need.
21:45
SPEAKER_00: They're different.
21:46
SPEAKER_00: Now, in the public school system, there's a certain description that they have to fit inside, correct?
21:52
SPEAKER_00: And if they fit inside, they get the extra help.
21:54
SPEAKER_00: Well, guess what?
21:54
SPEAKER_00: Here in my homeschool village, every child is special, every child gets into.
22:00
SPEAKER_00: Individual attention, every child gets a specialized education for them.
22:05
SPEAKER_00: Because I'll tell you, some of my children would not, in the in the public school system, would not have qualified for certain help, but that doesn't mean they didn't need it.
22:14
SPEAKER_00: We have worked one-on-one.
22:16
SPEAKER_00: And I've my homeschool village was built because my kids had ADHD, dyslexia, other learning disabilities, struggle understanding.
22:23
SPEAKER_00: We've dealt with all of those things.
22:25
SPEAKER_00: And so I built my homeschool village so a mother can come, parent, parent can come in and she can go, all right, let's adjust.
22:32
SPEAKER_00: Let's adjust.
22:33
SPEAKER_00: Okay, you're struggling here.
22:34
SPEAKER_00: Let's go back a little bit.
22:35
SPEAKER_00: And it's all about adjusting.
22:37
SPEAKER_00: And that's what I do here.
22:38
SPEAKER_00: So Monday I come here and I show you.
22:40
SPEAKER_00: If when you're like, that one's not working for my kid, we adjust.
22:43
SPEAKER_00: And that's how I help you.
22:45
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
22:45
SPEAKER_00: That's also why you want to show up on Thursdays to Nicole's life because she helps adjust even further.
22:51
SPEAKER_00: So we had a mom actually approach us with a deaf and blind child.
22:55
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, I don't know how to help that.
22:57
SPEAKER_00: Nicole knew.
22:58
SPEAKER_00: She's like, here's how you do it with my homeschool religious programs.
23:01
SPEAKER_00: And she's able to help with those things.
23:03
SPEAKER_00: So if you have excessive needs that you're not sure what to do, that's why Nicole is here.
23:07
SPEAKER_00: You can reach out to her anytime.
23:09
SPEAKER_00: Nicole, give us a little so they see your name on there.
23:12
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
23:13
SPEAKER_00: Marisol, you can reach out to Nicole to get a little more private, like just ask questions.
23:18
SPEAKER_00: Now, I do prefer you guys ask any questions that aren't private in the community because you're not the only mom who has the problem.
23:24
SPEAKER_00: Like there's probably 20 moms for everyone who says something.
23:26
SPEAKER_00: There's 20 or 30 moms who are struggling with it too and are thrilled to have that comment.
23:30
SPEAKER_00: So make sure you're you're going into the community to ask the question so Nicole can answer it for everybody if you don't mind.
23:38
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, we've got a specialist in here just for you.
23:41
SPEAKER_00: Now, how old is your child, mighty son?
23:44
SPEAKER_00: How a son, ADHD.
23:46
SPEAKER_00: And I will tell you right now, all children who are in the public school system have ADHD.
23:51
SPEAKER_00: You know why?
23:52
SPEAKER_00: Because it's built for a child who sits down to learn.
23:56
SPEAKER_00: And I'm sorry, but I don't know a single child in the world that sits down to learn, except for my oldest child.
24:01
SPEAKER_00: She would sit for hours and read books and study, and she's still that way, and that's great.
24:06
SPEAKER_00: But the other four were not like that.
24:08
SPEAKER_00: So um this is yeah.
24:12
SPEAKER_00: A seven-year-old boy should not be asked to sit still, except for maybe at church.
24:18
SPEAKER_00: And that is where, and even then, I give my kids fidget spinners or something to do with their hands so that they can listen.
24:26
SPEAKER_00: Um, so yes, this is built for him.
24:29
SPEAKER_00: Now, Marisol, pay attention to the community.
24:32
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna be doing the announcement.
24:34
SPEAKER_00: We're gonna be launching this end of the week so that you can get in and your son can start using our curriculum with our schedule, with our system, so that when you pull him out and go right now, go through that class.
24:48
SPEAKER_00: Let me pull it back up.
24:52
SPEAKER_00: Right now, what you want to be doing is going to the classroom here, right?
24:57
SPEAKER_00: When you have questions, guys, please write them here.
24:59
SPEAKER_00: There's so many women in here who have so many great answers for you.
25:02
SPEAKER_00: And yes, I have answers, but they're why not take on the whole hive brain because someone in here is dealing with what you're dealing with right now.
25:09
SPEAKER_00: Guaranteed.
25:10
SPEAKER_00: So then go to the classroom, come here, do this right here, Marisol.
25:16
SPEAKER_00: Go through this program.
25:18
SPEAKER_00: This will help you.
25:19
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna like right here.
25:20
SPEAKER_00: I even give you an exact how to withdraw them from school, but I'm gonna show you exactly you're gonna want to pull them out, but you're not gonna want to get them started right away in schooling.
25:29
SPEAKER_00: You actually need to go through a healing process.
25:31
SPEAKER_00: It's like they got a detox.
25:33
SPEAKER_00: It's like you almost have to like emotionally cleanse them from the system.
25:37
SPEAKER_00: And you yourself need a little emotionally cleanse from the system.
25:40
SPEAKER_00: And it's okay to take a few weeks and just get bored again and play and just get the light back in your child's eyes.
25:46
SPEAKER_00: It's about getting them to love life again and go play and go do and go and find out what they love, and then and then you can better educate them because they will like it more.
25:56
SPEAKER_00: So this will actually show you and take you through that process.
25:59
SPEAKER_00: There is a real process that a child needs when being pulled from the system that is um to heal.
26:07
SPEAKER_00: And oh, the rest of the homeschool world calls it de-schooling, and that's great, but that's not extremely descriptive.
26:14
SPEAKER_00: So it's actually more I call it bring them home to heal, let them heal.
26:17
SPEAKER_00: And there's a process in there in that class that I show you.
26:20
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
26:21
SPEAKER_00: Um that's what I do.
26:23
SPEAKER_00: Also, they have fidgets.
26:25
SPEAKER_00: My kids love fidgets.
26:27
SPEAKER_00: Emotionally detox, yeah.
26:29
SPEAKER_00: And and moms need to do it too.
26:30
SPEAKER_00: And every once in a while, and here's what'll happen: what you'll find is you'll go back into old habits, your kids will start to fight you in homeschooling, and you're like, what happened?
26:37
SPEAKER_00: What's going on?
26:38
SPEAKER_00: And then you have to look at yourself and go, Did I go back into old habits that I learned from public school?
26:42
SPEAKER_00: Because I was public schooled.
26:43
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I it took me years to get this out of my system and detox from it, and then convince my husband it was good because he was public schooled and he was private schooled.
26:53
SPEAKER_00: And then to get to get this out of our systems and to help people help ourselves understand that a worksheet doesn't mean learning, that sitting down doesn't mean listening, that movement doesn't mean not listening, right?
27:11
SPEAKER_00: So these are all things that you have to detox from and you start paying attention to your kids and and reading the kind of plant that they are.
27:17
SPEAKER_00: And do I shall I give you the analogy on the plant?
27:21
SPEAKER_00: So when we our children are born, we are handed a pile of seeds.
27:24
SPEAKER_00: I have five children, therefore, I was given five seeds.
27:26
SPEAKER_00: They were all different sizes, different colors, different, and I had no idea what plant they were.
27:30
SPEAKER_00: None.
27:31
SPEAKER_00: All I knew was they had to be somewhat like mom and someone like dad.
27:34
SPEAKER_00: Doesn't mean they were all that much because they were like my siblings and like my parents.
27:39
SPEAKER_00: So I had five, and the Lord said, go plant them, and I planted them in, and I thought everybody was going to be a tomato plant like me.
27:45
SPEAKER_00: And so I'm watering and I'm putting cages on them and I'm giving them all the sun they need.
27:50
SPEAKER_00: And guess what?
27:51
SPEAKER_00: Turns out I wasn't growing any tomato plants.
27:53
SPEAKER_00: For some reason, we would go through phases where they weren't thriving.
27:56
SPEAKER_00: And it turns out it was because I was trying to grow a tomato plant, but one was a magnolia, and one was a hyacinth, and one was a uh, you get the point, right?
28:05
SPEAKER_00: A lily.
28:06
SPEAKER_00: And I had to stop and look at each child and go, this plant needs more water.
28:12
SPEAKER_00: You try treating an all little plant like you do a tomato, and one of them's dying.
28:16
SPEAKER_00: And so you have to start looking at what plant did God give me as their little shoots are coming up.
28:22
SPEAKER_00: And this is why it's so important to not do too much too soon.
28:25
SPEAKER_00: Because when you start to give them too much academics too soon, or or start putting them in your little plant pot that you think they are, you actually start to smother the seed.
28:36
SPEAKER_00: So you have to let the seed grow, which means you play, you read books, you discover them, you let them discover them while you're discovering them.
28:46
SPEAKER_00: And their little seedlings come up and they're still just little green plants.
28:49
SPEAKER_00: And I'll tell you, a little tomato seed and a little sunflower seed, you may not know the difference, right?
28:53
SPEAKER_00: But they need different care.
28:55
SPEAKER_00: And so you have to let them get bigger before you can start going, oh, you need more water, right?
29:00
SPEAKER_00: The cuddlier one who needs more of mom's attention.
29:03
SPEAKER_00: Oh, you need less water, the one who's independent and thinks that when you show cuddling, that you're smothering them, right?
29:09
SPEAKER_00: And so you have to let the little seedlings come up.
29:11
SPEAKER_00: So the first eight years is all about becoming seedlings, and then the eight to 12, you're starting to see enough evidence of who they are and they're seeing it that you can start to go, oh, you like this.
29:22
SPEAKER_00: Oh, let's do that.
29:24
SPEAKER_00: And then by 12 to 14, they're kind of they're they're getting there, actually.
29:27
SPEAKER_00: What they do is sleep, they're growing again.
29:30
SPEAKER_00: So 12 to 14, they sleep, 14, they wake up and you're like, ah, you're a finance kid.
29:36
SPEAKER_00: Oh, you're an entrepreneur.
29:38
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I see.
29:39
SPEAKER_00: You are liking more, right?
29:40
SPEAKER_00: And then you dive into topics, then you dive into what they want because actually they're doing it on their own at that point.
29:46
SPEAKER_00: Do you see where I'm going with this?
29:48
SPEAKER_00: So, this is what why in the beginning, it's so vital that you let them play because they're discovering what they like and what they don't like.
29:56
SPEAKER_00: And so are you.
29:57
SPEAKER_00: You have to treat a child as something to discover, not something to mold.
30:02
SPEAKER_00: Okay, we're not given a piece of clay to mold.
30:05
SPEAKER_00: They are not to be molded by us, they are to be taken care of by us.
30:10
SPEAKER_00: And we don't know what plant we got until years later, and their personalities are coming out, right?
30:18
SPEAKER_00: So this is how my homeschool village is built.
30:21
SPEAKER_00: It's built with this idea in mind.
30:23
SPEAKER_00: You really want to let them play as much as possible.
30:25
SPEAKER_00: I'm not saying don't teach them to write.
30:27
SPEAKER_00: And my four, my first daughter at four was begging to learn how to read.
30:31
SPEAKER_00: So we did.
30:32
SPEAKER_00: But the second one, who was only 12 months younger, had no interest in reading until she was eight.
30:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
30:38
SPEAKER_00: And I was raising them like twins because they were 12 months apart, and it didn't, it took me a long time to realize they were very different humans.
30:46
SPEAKER_00: Child number one was all about language and art and reading, and child number two was all about taking things apart and math and hated language, stalked later in life, read later in life.
31:00
SPEAKER_00: And now the two of them are still 12 months apart and in very different stages of life and both doing well because it took me a long time to let them be the plants that they were meant to be.
31:09
SPEAKER_00: That's the hardest part, moms, is not to have a pre disposition, a pre-idea of who your child is.
31:17
SPEAKER_00: Because one of my children turned out just like me, and it was not the child I thought it was going to be.
31:22
SPEAKER_00: Child number one, I was sure it was just like me.
31:24
SPEAKER_00: Turns out no, not so much more like my mother.
31:26
SPEAKER_00: And so, but it took me a while to see that.
31:28
SPEAKER_00: Child number two, I was like, well, then this one's just like me.
31:31
SPEAKER_00: No, she is her daddy to the T.
31:34
SPEAKER_00: And I was still getting to know her daddy.
31:35
SPEAKER_00: So here we've been married 26 years, and I'm like, oh, now I see it.
31:41
SPEAKER_00: So you have to be patient.
31:42
SPEAKER_00: You have to let the child, you have to give them enough room to discover who they are, who they want to be, what they love and don't love, with enough control to make sure that they are learning to read and write, right?
31:55
SPEAKER_00: And that just comes by reading to them, letting them pick their own books.
31:59
SPEAKER_00: Who cares what book they're reading, as long as they're working through reading?
32:02
SPEAKER_00: Who cares what math they're doing, as long as they're moving forward every day?
32:06
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
32:08
SPEAKER_00: Thank you guys.
32:10
SPEAKER_00: I love your sport.
32:11
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
32:12
SPEAKER_00: Um, thank you, Clarissa.
32:14
SPEAKER_00: And this and that that lesson really did take me 15 years to learn, you guys.
32:18
SPEAKER_00: It took me until it was actually my teen children, my older two daughters, that had to sit me down and go, Mom, I am not her.
32:27
SPEAKER_00: And I'd be like, Oh, was I, especially my second child, because she was rebelling against everything because I kept trying to raise them as the same person.
32:34
SPEAKER_00: And child number one was like, I don't like your definition of me.
32:38
SPEAKER_00: I think much bigger than you do.
32:40
SPEAKER_00: Like, she literally was like, Mom, you don't aim high enough for me.
32:43
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Oh, well, because I was thinking you could go here.
32:47
SPEAKER_00: She's like, Yeah, that's not the life I want.
32:49
SPEAKER_00: I was thinking this.
32:50
SPEAKER_00: I mean, we literally had this conversation where I felt like she just slapped me in the face because I was working towards the plant I thought she was, and I thought I was being a great mom.
32:59
SPEAKER_00: And then she was like, No, mom, not what I want.
33:02
SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay, okay.
33:04
SPEAKER_00: And all my kids ended up doing that.
33:06
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I bet you'd love no, mom, no thanks.
33:10
SPEAKER_00: So all you're doing is creating an atmosphere and a safe space for them to be who they want to be, how they want to be, when they want to be.
33:18
SPEAKER_00: Because we are the only our homes are the only place in the world where they get to do that.
33:23
SPEAKER_00: This is why we pull them out of public school.
33:25
SPEAKER_00: Public school has already got a definition for them.
33:27
SPEAKER_00: They have to fit the mold, get in the box, stay in the box, stay in the box.
33:31
SPEAKER_00: That's how I think of public school.
33:34
SPEAKER_00: At home, you set it up so that they can learn, love, be safe, discover, right?
33:41
SPEAKER_00: Your job is to help them discover.
33:44
SPEAKER_00: That's it.
33:46
SPEAKER_00: Show them something new.
33:47
SPEAKER_00: Lead them, guide them.
33:49
SPEAKER_00: You walk side by side them.
33:50
SPEAKER_00: You do not push, you do not shove, you inspire.
33:55
SPEAKER_00: Let's learn it together.
33:57
SPEAKER_00: What do you think of this?
33:59
SPEAKER_00: You ask their opinions, you ask their ideas.
34:03
SPEAKER_00: Have you read C and the Box?
34:05
SPEAKER_00: Illustrates this point really well.
34:06
SPEAKER_00: No, I have not.
34:08
SPEAKER_00: No, I want to.
34:10
SPEAKER_00: C in the box.
34:11
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I'll put that on my list.
34:17
SPEAKER_00: Oh, look at that.
34:18
SPEAKER_00: It's on eBay.
34:20
SPEAKER_00: I'll go look at it for$64.
34:24
SPEAKER_00: What in that?
34:25
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
34:26
SPEAKER_00: Um C in the Box.
34:28
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go look that up and see.
34:32
SPEAKER_00: See what that is.
34:33
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
34:34
SPEAKER_00: I always, always love a good book.
34:39
SPEAKER_00: I'll look that up.
34:41
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
34:43
SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, so that's what I do here.
34:45
SPEAKER_00: So when you come in here on Mondays, the whole point is to ask and to get the help that you need to be able to keep doing that.
34:50
SPEAKER_00: It takes a major mind shift, a major belief shift.
34:54
SPEAKER_00: It's like I'm asking you to convert here to the idea that your home is meant to be the one and only safe place in the earth for your children to break down, to make messes.
35:06
SPEAKER_00: Um, that my favorite quote of all movie, all time.
35:10
SPEAKER_00: Has anybody seen?
35:11
SPEAKER_00: Now I just forgot the name of it because I'm on the spot.
35:14
SPEAKER_00: Um hers, his, hers, and mine, his, his mine and ours.
35:20
SPEAKER_00: His mine and ours, I think is what it's called.
35:22
SPEAKER_00: And she says, right?
35:24
SPEAKER_00: And she, my favorite quote is houses are not made for good impressions, they're made for self-expression.
35:29
SPEAKER_00: That is the quote of quotes.
35:32
SPEAKER_00: Homes are not made for good impressions, they're made for self-expression.
35:35
SPEAKER_00: Your children need a place to be self-expressive, whether that's a meltdown and they're safe because they're melting down, whether it's artwork all over the walls.
35:44
SPEAKER_00: I'm not saying color on the walls, I'm saying put it up, right?
35:48
SPEAKER_00: Whether it's um, I you should see I have a line of tables right now against my wall because my kids all of a sudden got into this artistic phase this weekend.
35:57
SPEAKER_00: And I've got a a table ugly full of Legos, a table full of diamond art, and another table where my son, my 19-year-old, decided he wanted to bend flowers for his girlfriend and his.
36:07
SPEAKER_00: And so they've all got some art set up for the week that we're gonna do.
36:10
SPEAKER_00: Um, I told them they had till the end of the week.
36:12
SPEAKER_00: If it wasn't finished, it was going down.
36:14
SPEAKER_00: I give them a time frame because I don't want it up forever.
36:17
SPEAKER_00: But a home is made for, not made for good impressions, it's made for self-expression, and that's all we do.
36:24
SPEAKER_00: Build the atmosphere, your children will follow.
36:28
SPEAKER_00: I know I love that movie.
36:29
SPEAKER_00: That's one of my favorites.
36:31
SPEAKER_00: Just because of the mom in there, I'm like, that's me.
36:34
SPEAKER_00: I wish it were me.
36:35
SPEAKER_00: She's gorgeous.
36:36
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, um, okay, questions, thoughts.
36:45
SPEAKER_00: How are we doing?
36:47
SPEAKER_00: Questions on um programs.
36:51
SPEAKER_00: Um, Marisol, we answered your questions for your son.
36:54
SPEAKER_00: Just pull them out.
36:55
SPEAKER_00: I'll just tell you right now, just pull them out.
36:57
SPEAKER_00: If you already want him out and you're already planning on it, I would pull him out now and just let him be a kid for a couple of days.
37:04
SPEAKER_00: Like, just especially because the weather's getting gorgeous.
37:06
SPEAKER_00: I don't know where you are, but here it's starting to be nice.
37:09
SPEAKER_00: It's a great time.
37:10
SPEAKER_00: We find that like May and October, we spend so much time outside that we don't worry as much on our academics because we just want to take advantage of the weather.
37:18
SPEAKER_00: When it's too hot, we get a lot of work done.
37:20
SPEAKER_00: When it's too cold, we get a lot of work done.
37:21
SPEAKER_00: When it's gorgeous outside, we get a little less work done, but we're living, and that's the point.
37:26
SPEAKER_00: Uh, Clarissa says, My oldest hated writing, but I had him join the journalism class.
37:30
SPEAKER_00: I've never seen him enjoy to write until then.
37:32
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I got it.
37:33
SPEAKER_00: Can I snapshot this for Hannah?
37:35
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna send this to Hannah.
37:38
SPEAKER_00: Um he had so much fun putting together the Minecraft spread he's doing made me realize it's not that he hated writing, but it was how writing may have been presented to him in the past.
37:48
SPEAKER_00: Yes, you nailed that.
37:50
SPEAKER_00: So, and that writing is presented so badly to children that yeah, they hate it.
37:55
SPEAKER_00: And I had a mom tell me once, um, yeah, mighty soul.
37:59
SPEAKER_00: I had a mom tell me once about writing, and I was learning myself about writing because I hated writing as a kid.
38:03
SPEAKER_00: I just felt like I had these creative thoughts in my head, but when I wrote them down, all I got was put down because the punctuation was bad, because my sentence structure wasn't great, but nobody would like, but what about the idea?
38:14
SPEAKER_00: But but but but what about my story?
38:15
SPEAKER_00: And it was like, you need to fix this and this and this and this.
38:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the story's not bad, right?
38:19
SPEAKER_00: And it was like, so I hated writing.
38:21
SPEAKER_00: Um, when your kids are little, they copyright.
38:24
SPEAKER_00: They copy, copy, copy.
38:25
SPEAKER_00: Now, if they have a story in their head, don't ask them to go write it.
38:28
SPEAKER_00: Tell them to tell you the story and you write it for them.
38:31
SPEAKER_00: Get online, pull up a Google Doc, type it out.
38:33
SPEAKER_00: So just get the story out of your head and type.
38:36
SPEAKER_00: And then just be like, all right, this is what it says.
38:39
SPEAKER_00: And now sometimes I would read it exactly word for word, what my child had said, and they'd be like, I don't like that line.
38:45
SPEAKER_00: Can you fix that line?
38:46
SPEAKER_00: And we would have a total conversation about the story and the line.
38:49
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes they say, Do you want me to just write?
38:52
SPEAKER_00: And don't like, don't be so careful that you write their ideas for them.
38:55
SPEAKER_00: Write word for word and let them see what it sounds like.
38:58
SPEAKER_00: It's really, really it's a great activity to do.
39:02
SPEAKER_00: So the wait list, Marisol, I am um so I only I'm hesitating only because you you need to get started on the other program and it's not ready.
39:14
SPEAKER_00: So by the end of the week, I am going to launch or make available all of our curriculums.
39:20
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
39:21
SPEAKER_00: In there, you will be able to access all the curriculums.
39:24
SPEAKER_00: It'll be$99 a month.
39:26
SPEAKER_00: You're gonna be able to go in, you're gonna be able to, and that's for the family, you're gonna go in and be able to get access to our reading, our writing, our science, our the plan on how to do it, um, all of the unit studies, everything in there except the classes.
39:40
SPEAKER_00: Okay, the classes are full, but you'll be able to get the curriculums and the resources.
39:44
SPEAKER_00: So you can start homeschooling them with those.
39:47
SPEAKER_00: And then when the class comes open, we will send out invites to those in that group first.
39:53
SPEAKER_00: And the wait list.
39:54
SPEAKER_00: Don't worry, that wait list is number one in the wait list in the group, and then from there we'll expand if we still have spaces.
40:02
SPEAKER_00: Does that make sense?
40:04
SPEAKER_00: So if you want to hold up, give me a couple more days.
40:07
SPEAKER_00: Trish and our working hard and fast, I promise.
40:10
SPEAKER_00: And then you can sign up for just our resource.
40:13
SPEAKER_00: And it's it's what you use for your curriculum.
40:15
SPEAKER_00: And I call them resources instead of a curriculum.
40:18
SPEAKER_00: And here's why a curriculum is pre-done, pre-planned, pre-boxed, like a frozen dinner out of the freezer.
40:25
SPEAKER_00: We don't do that here.
40:26
SPEAKER_00: Here we have your resources, which you turn into the curriculum by going in and we hand you a buffet and you go, hmm, we'll take some of that and we'll take some of that.
40:37
SPEAKER_00: And that looks good, but I don't need that right now.
40:39
SPEAKER_00: And you create your own plate.
40:40
SPEAKER_00: It's customized, it's healthy, it's good, it's organic.
40:43
SPEAKER_00: It's exactly what you need for your family.
40:45
SPEAKER_00: And so um, we don't call it a curriculum, we call it resources.
40:49
SPEAKER_00: You create the actual curriculum with our guidance and support because your child has something different than another seven-year-old boy, right?
40:57
SPEAKER_00: Your seven-year-old boy and a seven-year-old boy who's probably sitting right next to him in class right now, do not have the same needs.
41:03
SPEAKER_00: One of them is a strong reader, one of them is a strong mathematician, and this allows you to work on those things.
41:10
SPEAKER_00: That makes sense.
41:12
SPEAKER_00: We get on that.
41:13
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
41:17
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
41:19
SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, good.
41:21
SPEAKER_00: Marisol, will you the one that answered me in Spanish?
41:24
SPEAKER_00: Mireles, don't you?
41:28
SPEAKER_00: No.
41:29
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
41:29
SPEAKER_00: I have somebody in here talking to me in Spanish, and I'm loving it.
41:32
SPEAKER_00: I don't get as much time.
41:33
SPEAKER_00: My husband and I speak Spanish with each other, but I don't get as much time to um speak Spanish as I would like.
41:39
SPEAKER_00: So that's okay.
41:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, then the name made me think that I don't mean to just automatically assume you speak Spanish.
41:45
SPEAKER_00: I know that can be annoying.
41:46
SPEAKER_00: I apologize.
41:48
SPEAKER_00: Okay, Texan.
41:50
SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
41:51
SPEAKER_00: You are in the best state, by the way, for homeschooling.
41:54
SPEAKER_00: Texas, you don't even have to tell anybody.
41:56
SPEAKER_00: You just pull your kid out, tell him he's not coming back, you're done.
41:59
SPEAKER_00: Like, that's it.
42:01
SPEAKER_00: And you don't have to submit anything.
42:03
SPEAKER_00: Nobody's coming to your door.
42:05
SPEAKER_00: Like, you're good.
42:06
SPEAKER_00: There you go.
42:08
SPEAKER_00: We're in Texas also.
