The Ohana Adventure

Our 17yr old graduated early and got accepted into a great university. The process... Here it is!

We are changing EVERYTHING! Kid’s going to University, new content styles on social media, new homeschooling techniques...
It’s all changing and here’s why! 

Switching from sending kids to school every day to homeschooling them full-time. There can be an overwhelming feeling as you realize that you are now 100 percent responsible for your child’s education. 

“How will I keep them busy and learning all day?” This is a common misconception many first time homeschoolers have when they switch from public school to homeschool. Over the years we have homeschooled our kids, then sent them to public school, then homeschooled them again. We have transitioned back and forth many times and in today’s episode, we share our best tips for making the switch.

Thanks to Covid-19, many parents find themselves working from home while at the same time educating their kids from home. Many are doubting whether it can all be done without one suffering at the expense of the other. 

In today's episode, we share the lessons we have learned over the last few years as we navigated the waters of working from home and homeschooling our children. We hope that you will come away from this episode equipped with the tools you need to successfully balance work and school at home.

Thanks for listening!

Homeschooling used to be this weird thing that hardly anyone did.
”Kids need to be social and need to be at school where they can make friends and be taught by qualified teachers - not by mom and dad.” That was the common objection to homeschooling.

Fast forward to 2020 and with the Covid-19 pandemic still raging on, homeschooling has become a real option for many parents. While public and private schools are doing everything they can, parents are concerned that with kids being kids, they are not going to stick to the rules.

So what can you do? How can you ensure your children are successful and you don't lose your mind in the process?

On today's episode, Rach and I chat about how we have been homeschooling our 6 kids for years and sharing with you the 5 things we wished we knew before making that commitment.

Let us know what you think and there is a bonus at the end of the podcast too!

Enjoy,

Have you ever tried to talk to your children only to notice one child isn't listening at all, the other is intently listening with a smile on their face, you just noticed that your third child magically disappeared and your fourth is knocked out asleep? 

In today’s episode, we go over how to talk to each of your children in a way that will keep them attentive and understanding of what you are trying to convey. 

This has been our favorite episode thus far!

Our Ohana had the incredible opportunity of Having Dr. Taylor Hartman, the author of THE COLOR CODE and the newly released THE PEOPLE CODE come to our home and officiate a family retreat.

Dig into this episode and stay tuned for the follow-up episodes that are coming soon! we will dig in deeper with each Bennett kid and how we are increasing our ability to properly communicate with them.

Why was Jase on a 4 month fast from dating or even talking to girls!? 
Why was Rachel willing to put with his horrible dating etiquette!?  

This episode goes deep into our first date and the do's and don'ts of dating before and during marriage! 

We have owned and operated more than a dozen companies for almost 20 years.
We have had many successes and many not so successful ventures together.

One thing has always stood out after all of the trial and error with our processes and people involved with our businesses... Self starters!

IF we were able to be motivated to get to the next task, the next action, even to the next thought without being pushed by some outside source... we knew we could succeed!

After noticing this as the common denominator of the success of each of our companies, we decided to implement this into the lives of our children.
We want our children to be able to do whatever they want to do.
We want them to be able to thrive in a career working for others, see massive success owning and operating their own ventures or whatever it may be!

The only way that they can thrive and be successful is if they learn what makes them tick and motivates them to go after it!
This is what we have tried to instill in our children and just like everything... we have some wins and some losses!
But man are the wins cool and the losses teach us how to pivot and keep cruising and crushing!

Something we read many books on, and tried to learn almost 2 decades ago, was how to get your kids to do chores and get them to like it. 

No books did exactly what we wanted, but after talking to many seasoned parents and authors and loads of trial and error with our own kids, we came up with a plan. 

The plan has adjusted and been tweaked as we learn and grow and our kids do as well, but the skeleton has stayed the same.

We had a bad relationship with goals and actually hated goals and purposely didn't set them for a decade!

We needed to think about goals differently than we had.

In 2019 we decided to give goals a second chance and learned how to focus on the journey instead of just the destination!

Once we changed that aspect of our goals, all of a sudden we started noticing that our stepping stone goals were being accomplished!

We actually forgot about the massive goal at the end because the journey was so much fun! A third of the way into the year we realized our insane goal was within reach.

Find out how we dug in and pushed through the last quarter of the year!
