Waldorf Essentials

Melisa Nielsen knows what it is like being a parent, homeschooling and running a business. 

There are a lot of benefits on being online, but it needs to be used with intention. 

It is common that when kids see you using a device they want to join in. Don't start the habit, it is hard to break once they get use to seeing you and come ask to do their own device time. 

Have a conversation, explaining what you are doing and why. 

Are you using a device online to build your business?

Are you using a device online to research and plan for your homeschooling?

It's ok to need to check out and de wind for a bit on your computer or phone. Do it for an hour and get off. Don't mindlessly scroll all day everyday. 

Most importantly unfollow accounts that make you go into comparison and not feel good enough. You don't need to be in all the groups and seethings that ruin your day!

Melisa Nielsen at Waldorf Essentials shares a big question she gets.

"What do you do when you have nothing common with your children?"

- Don't want to play the things they do?
- Don't want to read the books together that they like?
- Don't feel their interests fall into your "Waldorf vision"?
Take a deep breath.

Surprise them once in a while and ask for a turn in what they enjoy playing.

Melisa helps you find a way to discover something you can do together and enjoy the time, company and activity.

Melisa Nielsen has lived it.

She's navigated court systems, an ex partner, custody and how to homeschool when the children are in two households.

Melisa shares helpful tips if you are in this situation.

- Create a blog as a tool to share what the children are doing in their homeschooling.

This is a free resource that can be kept private and only viewed by the other parent and court system.

- Ask for 100% custody for education.

You are the teacher.

And your hours schooling do not count as your visitation hours.

Tune in for more helpful tips Melisa found on her journey.

"You either get the result you want or the lesson you needed."

Melisa shares how she has navigated these tough years.

Maybe you don't have a loss of someone passing away, but you have a loss of friendship.
You're not alone.

We have experienced it as well.

We hope this message helps you navigate the losses you have experienced.
