Are you a parent of special needs or neurodiverse children, feeling overwhelmed by the stress and challenges of daily life?

Discover the powerful respite of journaling as we explore how it can provide rest, peace, and renewal on the often chaotic journey of raising special needs kids.

By incorporating journaling into our lives, we can nurture our own emotional and mental well-being, which directly impacts our ability to create a nurturing homeschool and family environment for our children.

Journaling aligns with the principles of the Charlotte Mason philosophy and enhances the overall lifestyle we promote for special needs families, because it is nurturing the whole person.

Today’s guest is the host of the top 2.5% globally ranked podcast "Anchors of Encouragement", Tim Maudlin. This podcast is a game-changer for adoptive parents and anyone seeking biblical mindset support.

In this episode, Tim shares his personal journey as an adoptive father and the challenges he faced with his oldest son. Tim shares tips on how to navigate through adoption trauma and even the stresses of a special needs parenting journey, to find hope and healing.

One of the strategies that Tim highlights is the power of journaling as a form of respite for special needs parents. Through journaling, parents can touch their deepest emotions, release negativity, and find comfort from God in their struggles. And the best part? Tim encourages incorporating scriptures into this practice, allowing parents to draw strength from God's unfailing love and promises.

In addition, Tim emphasizes the importance of seeking help and finding respite from family and friends. Sometimes, we all need a little extra support, and Tim encourages us to reach out and ask for it.

If you're an adoptive parent, special needs parent, or know someone who is, this podcast is a must-listen. Tim's wisdom, personal experiences, and biblical insights will inspire and uplift you on your journey.

XOXO,
Katie

Want to cultivate positive habits in your child, foster character growth, and create a smoother functioning family?

I'm excited to share with you the power of habit formation and how it can positively impact your family's life.

In this episode, we dive into three key aspects of teaching habits that align with the Charlotte Mason lifestyle.

Firstly, we explore habit formation and its significance in a child's development. You'll discover how intentionally cultivating positive habits promotes character growth, discipline, and efficiency.

I also make sure I give you practical tips and strategies for teaching habits. If you're unsure about your own habits, don't worry! We discuss the importance of leading by example and breaking down habits into manageable steps.

Lastly, we take a holistic approach to habit formation. Alongside external behaviors, the Charlotte Mason lifestyle focuses on cultivating internal attitudes and character qualities. So we will consider together how this can be done and how important it is.

By embracing habit formation as a cornerstone of the Charlotte Mason lifestyle, you'll provide your child with a strong foundation for personal growth, self-discipline, and a virtuous life.

Summer is the PERFECT time to put extra practice into habits, so that by the school year things are humming along more smoothly.

XOXO,

Katie

Have you dreamed of understanding how you can create a nurturing and engaging homeschooling experience for our children?

The Charlotte Mason educational approach teaches and guides us to do just that! Yay!

In this episode, we'll be exploring the core philosophy and principles that make the Charlotte Mason lifestyle so unique and impactful. These principles work for children and homeschooling parents regardless if the children are gifted, typical, neurodiverse, special needs, or outside the box learners. This philosophy is a GIFT, and it is deeper than just the educational real. This philosophy is an entire lifestyle, full of nurture, adventurous rich literature, nature exploration, deep learning, and heart based connected family life. 

So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let's dive right in!

Segment 1: Living Education
We'll start by immersing ourselves in the concept of a living education. Charlotte Mason believed in going beyond textbooks and lectures, and instead, creating firsthand experiences, real-life connections, and encounters with ideas. We'll uncover how this approach sparks a love for learning that extends beyond the traditional boundaries of education. Join us as we discuss ways to bring learning to life through museum visits, cultural events, and hands-on activities.

Discover how creating a nurturing and inspiring environment in your home, filled with beauty, order, and a respect for learning, can set the stage for a harmonious educational experience. I'll talk a bit about the importance of cultivating self-discipline and habits in children, fostering character development, focus, and responsibility.

Segment 3: Life-Giving Ideas
In our final segment, we'll discuss the power of life-giving ideas. Charlotte Mason believed in exposing children to quality literature, rich narratives, and living books that nourish their minds and ignite their imaginations. We'll explore how carefully selecting materials that offer moral and intellectual content can shape children's character, worldview, and appreciation for literature.

By incorporating these philosophies and principles into our homeschooling journey, we can create a Charlotte Mason lifestyle that fosters a love for learning, cultivates a nurturing atmosphere, and nourishes the minds and hearts of our children.

Whether you're new to homeschooling or looking to enhance your current approach, this episode is packed with insights and practical strategies to inspire and guide you.

Remember, dear friend, you are not alone on this journey.

We're here to support you every step of the way, and would love to see you in the Facebook group to continue to conversation. Stay tuned for more episodes where we'll continue to explore the beauty and richness of homeschooling.

Have you heard that gut health impacts neurodiversity and mental health conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and autism - but didn’t know HOW or WHY?

Are you looking for a faith-based approach to teaching science at home that aligns with the principles of the Charlotte Mason lifestyle?

Have you been curious about how to effectively teach science with a faith-based approach in the comfort of your own home, while embracing the principles of the Charlotte Mason lifestyle?

Charlotte Mason believed in providing a rich and varied education that encompasses all aspects of a child's development, including spiritual growth.

Today we speak to Luke and Trisha Gilkerson, the founders of Journey Homeschool Academy. The online academy offers parents the tools and resources to provide a holistic education that integrates science with Christian values. Not only that, it has blessed our neurodivergent, special needs, and outside the box learners in our home. 

In the Charlotte Mason approach, science is not just a subject to be studied, but a means to discover and appreciate the wonders of God's creation!

Luke and Trisha's emphasis on instilling Christian values through science education perfectly aligns with Charlotte Mason's belief in nurturing a child's spiritual connection with the world around them.

Charlotte Mason advocated for the importance of community and collaboration in education. Luke and Trisha's encouragement to join homeschool communities resonates with the idea of parents coming together to support and inspire one another in their homeschooling journeys.

Luke and Trisha online courses support Charlotte Mason's principles of giving children living ideas and allowing them to explore and learn at their own pace. By tailoring the curriculum to fit the family's needs and incorporating interactive and hands-on activities, parents can create a learning environment that fosters a love for science and a deeper understanding of God's creation. 

I believe you will LOVE hearing from the Gilkersons!

XOXO,

Katie

Are you eager to create a nurturing home environment where your children learn to respect boundaries, empathize with others, and build healthy relationships?

I want to dive into a topic that's close to my heart and I believe will resonate with you deeply – teaching our precious little ones about boundaries.

As homeschooling moms, we have this incredible privilege of not just nurturing our children academically, but also guiding them on their journey of personal and emotional growth. And one vital aspect of that journey is helping them understand the concept of boundaries.

Today let’s explore the gentle art of setting boundaries within our homes. We'll draw inspiration from our Creator, who, in His divine wisdom, established boundaries within His creation for our well-being and protection.

I’ll give you an example of ways to infuse these lessons into our everyday lives, using the events of the day and our children's interactions as teachable moments. We'll learn how boundaries foster respect, empathy, and healthy relationships, laying a foundation for their future well-being.

So, my dear friend, grab a cozy blanket, pour yourself a soothing cup of tea, and join me on this intimate journey of imparting wisdom and love to our children. It's in these tender moments that we shape not just their understanding of boundaries, but also their hearts and character.

I'm truly grateful to have you by my side on this path of motherhood. Let's lean in, listen, and learn together.

XOXO,
Katie
