    Depression And The Homeschool Mom Jan 18, 2022
    Show notes Hey, homeschoolers! This is going to seem like a weird way to start the year, but I am recommitted to my mission on this podcast of promoting happy, healthy homeschooling. I spoke with a family recently whose presenting problem was child misbehavior. What became obvious, however, is that the mother’s depression was leading to marital and parenting problems. Depression puts our homeschools at risk. Children of depressed mothers don’t develop as well academically, emotionally, or socially. Depression is a significant problem.
    • Affects 1 in 10 adults per year
    • is leading cause of disability

    What causes depression?

    • genetics
    • post-partum/hormones
    • medical conditions
    • alcohol/drug use
    • trauma/grief

    What are the symptoms of depression?

    • Feelings of sadness that won’t go away
    • Loss of interest in things
    • Fatigue
    • Irritability/poor concentration
    • Anxiety
    • Eating too much/too little
    • Unable to sleep/sleeping too much
    • Headaches, or other pains in the body
    • Feeling hopeless, worthless, suicidal

    Resources for depression

    • For DIY treatment, set a deadline by which you will get professional help.
    If someone you care about is depressed, send them this episode. Gather supportive family members with a referral. Offer to provide homeschool and practical support while the homeschool mom is getting help. I don’t practice as a psychologist any more, but I’m praying that this episode has been helpful to you.

    How To Encourage Healthy Eating In Your Kids Jan 11, 2022
    Show notes

    Hey, homeschoolers! As homeschool moms, we want our kids to be healthy academically, spiritually, socially, and physically. That’s because health is wholistic. If there’s a breakdown in one area, it’s likely to affect the others.

    One area where I struggled as a mom was encouraging healthy eating. If that’s an area you’re seeking to improve, I know you’ll love my guest today: Katie Kimball. Katie is the national voice of healthy kids cooking, is a blogger, two-time TEDx speaker, former teacher, and mom of 4 kids who founded the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse, recommended by The Wall Street Journal in 2020 as the best online cooking class for kids. Her blog, Kitchen Stewardship helps families stay healthy without going crazy, and she’s on a mission to connect families around healthy food, raise critical thinking skills using the lab of curiosity that is the kitchen, and grow the Kids’ Meal Revolution where every child learns to cook.

    Here’s our super practical discussion.

    Project-Based Learning Nov 23, 2021
    Show notes

    Hey, homeschoolers! At this point in the year, I begin to think about changes I want to make in my homeschool. One change you may want to consider is adding some project-based learning. My guest today is going to help us with that.

    Before I introduce her, I want to let you know about the projects I’ve included in Grammar Galaxy Nova for middle schoolers. While learning about literature, vocabulary, spelling strategies, and grammar, your student will complete fun writing projects like a restaurant review. Each project is broken down into simple steps completed each week. Whether you have a middle schooler or not, the good news is that all levels and resources at Fun to Learn Books.com are 20% off on Black Friday through Cyber Monday with code THANKS.

    Now for my interview with Nancy Mikhail. I met Nancy at the Great Homeschool Convention in Ontario, California. She is an Educational Consultant specializing in the creation and design of engaging pedagogy and active learning projects that excel beyond the requirements of California State Standards. Nancy earned her Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies and Multiple Subject Teaching Credential at the California State University at Long Beach, and furthered her education by earning her Master’s of Science in Curriculum and Instruction from California State University at Fullerton. Her experience within the education system ranges from preschool to twelfth grade. However, Nancy’s skills go above and beyond the classroom. She has taken her passion for teaching and education into after school programs, academic advising, and nonprofit organizations. She is an active participant and presenter in educational conferences and workshops. Her drive to progress and create a better educational system allows her to take the lead in building curriculum, especially within language strategies and guided reading. Literacy is a vital component of education and Nancy’s desire to increase student learning is evident within her teaching and career. Here’s our interview.

    We discussed:

    • the benefits of project-based learning
    • easy ways of incorporating project-based learning
    • the projects available at BuildAProject.net.

    Connect with Nancy on Facebook and Instagram.

    I’ll be back with all new episodes in January. Until then, I’ll be replaying some favorite episodes that you may have missed. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

    What Does it Mean To Be A Woman Of God Today? Nov 16, 2021
    Show notes

    Hey, homeschoolers! What does it mean to be a woman of God in a world that seeks to redefine womanhood? That’s what I discussed with my guest Kristen Clark. It’s an important topic for us to consider as homeschooling mothers and also as parents of daughters. Kristen Clark is married to her best friend, Zack, and is a newly adoptive mom to two precious boys from Ukraine. She is co-founder of Girl Defined Ministries, and is passionate about promoting the message of God-defined womanhood through blogging, speaking, mentoring young women, and hosting Bible studies in her living room. In the end, she’s just a fun-lovin’ Texas girl who adores all things outdoors and is an unashamed dog-lover who snuggles with her little maltipoo whenever she can. I know you’ll enjoy hearing from Kristen as I did. We discussed:

    • Kristen’s experience in the world of modeling
    • How we can avoid being a “wimpy woman”
    • How we can be biblical women in today’s culture
    Find Kristen’s podcast, books, and course at GirlDefined.com. Join me next time as my guest and I discuss project-based learning. Have a happy homeschool week!

    Discovering Your Child’s Smarts With Dr. Kathy Koch Oct 14, 2021
    Show notes

    Hey, homeschoolers. When we begin teaching our kids at home, we quickly realize that some of them have traditional smarts with words and logic, but others have smarts that aren’t celebrated in school. My guest today is well-known author Dr. Kathy Koch. I think she will inspire you to discover your child’s unique smarts so you can maximize them in your homeschool.

    Before we start, though, I want to say how grateful I am to have been a part of the Ultimate Homeschool Radio Network since its start eight years ago. I took a year’s sabbatical, so that means I’ve been speaking to you via this podcast for seven years. I don’t take that privilege for granted.

    Now for my interview with Dr. Kathy Koch about your child’s smarts. Kathy is the founder of Celebrate Kids, Inc., based in Fort Worth, Texas. She has influenced thousands of parents, teachers, and children in thirty countries through keynote messages, seminars, chapels, banquet talks, and other events. She is a regular speaker for Care Net, Summit Ministries, the Colson Center, and Teach Them Diligently. She is also a popular guest on Focus on the Family radio, she was featured inKirk Cameron’s movie, Connect, and she has published five books with Moody Publishers. I know you’re going to enjoy our conversation.

    We discussed:

    • how to awaken our kids’ smarts
    • practical ideas for applying the smarts to core subject areas
    • helping our child in areas of weakness, and much more

    How to Prevent Sibling Rivalry Oct 02, 2021
    Show notes Hey homeschoolers! I know that sibling squabbles are a serious source of stress. I know this personally and professionally. I have been giving a talk for Great Homeschool Conventions on how to negotiate sibling conflicts, but I think it’s important to talk about how to prevent these conflicts in the first place. That’s what this episode of the Homeschool Sanity Show is all about. Before I introduce my guests, though, I want to thank my sponsor for this episode, the Courageous Legacy movie.
