Why Freedom Matters with Angie Ferrell

Today True North Homeschool Academy Director is talking with True North Teacher, Angie Ferrell and as we near the 4th of July, we are talking about freedom!

Freedom is a stabilizing force and creates a better environment for people in it- Freedom allows for healthier economics and builds good relationships between people.

We MUST study history- acknowledge what we’ve done wrong and work toward something better-

“Ideas are peaceful. History is violent.”

The history of education shows us that the elites who created the government school system were dedicated to creating a working class that was easily manipulated.

Teaching our kids soft skills: like integrity, work ethic and taking responsibility allows us all to get over our sense of victimhood and self pity

I first was introduced to Mary Willson through IG Reels. Her Reels are so much fun and encouraging to Homeschoolers! Mary has been a homeschooling Mom for over a decade and loves to provide helpful information to fellow homeschoolers, particularly families with homeschooling teens.

So, I reached out to Mary to see if she’d be willing to talk with me about fun and laughing as we homeschool. Laugher really is the best medicine, and honestly, an important life skill to teach our kids.

Fun comes very naturally to her. For instance, when her oldest hit Jr High, she didn’t want to do Literature studies so much anymore. So, Mary got together with some fellow homeschoolers and planned a once-a-month book party. The first book they studied was The Hunger Games, so she dressed up as Effie, they had themed food and decorations, and many years later the book studies are still going strong! In fact, Mary still leads book clubs online!

Mary’s best tips for those of us who have to work at having fun!

What about the future of work? Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order that they may provide for daily necessities and not live unproductive lives. Titus 3:14

Career Stages

What Economies will Play a Role in the Future?

Future Workers will need Technical Skills as well as Soft Skills, particularly Creativity, Critical Thinking, Collaboration and Communication Skills. The good news is that a solid high school course of study will lay a solid foundation for these type of skills. Additional, future workers will need the ability to upskill and re-skill, as well as have a zeal for life long learning.

Assess your student, your current resources and your location, as all of these offer various challenges and opportunities. And don’t forget that you are one of your student’s best resources. What are your areas of interests and trained vocation? Your kids have a jump start on whatever it is you share with them, because of what you already know.

Craft a clear plan that includes

Today on Life Skills 101, we are talking with Candice Duggar, the mastermind behind Bullied, Broken, Redeemed. Teaching our kids how to navigate the online world and keeping themselves emotionally and physically safe is going to be a necessary life skill, as the online world is going to continue to expand and grow; many of our kids may find themselves working in the online space.

Candice share the journey of bullying in their own family and how that changed the course of her family and life- from working with Fortune 100 Companies to Homeschooling Momma and the creator of Bullied, Broken, Redeemed.

“There is no safe. There is only safer.” Candace Duggar

The program builds in Executive Functioning and Soft Skills and Non-Verbal Communication Skills

Most bullying takes place after 10 p.m. at night. Parents, collect your kid’s cell phones at night, and turn off the Wi-Fi.

Give kids a “safe” word and develop a family policy about how to help your kids out of unsafe circumstances.

Begin talking to your kids sooner than later about safety online and cyberbullying. Kids as young as 2-5 years old are playing online games, which means kids are getting bullied at younger and younger ages.

We are meant to be in community, but we are not meant to be in a community of a million people! The online world encourages shallowness; as Christians, we want our kids to grow in wisdom and discernment. This will take intentionality as parents!

*This course, Digital Leadership, is no longer available at TNHA.

We still felt the topic was an urgent one to revisit and hope you enjoy this replay of How to Heal from Bullying.
