HOMESCHOOLING MIDDLE SCHOOL||5 BIGGEST BENEFITS I'VE EXPERIENCED

I love that you aren't afraid to speak truth on your channel even when it doesn't align with the world's "truth!" I have two 7th graders who went to a private school through 6th grade. This is our first year homeschooling. One of them was very bullied (yes, even at a Christian school) and the difference these months have made for him have been amazing! My daughter is very much a social butterfly and I was afraid she'd hate homeschooling because it's so different from all they know. But even she thanks me all the time! They both are CONSTANTLY saying, "I'm so glad we decided to homeschool!!" They would probably tell you it's because of the "sleeping in" (even though we start school usually by 8) and the "no homework" but they have said some things to my mom that make me know they see the more important benefits like the ones you've mentioned here. The growth in them has been immeasurable. Their relationship with me has also grown (although some days we want to kill each other!). I'm so grateful I finally got brave enough to make the leap! If you're reading this and afraid to jump into homeschooling because you're afraid the change will be too much for your kids who are used to traditional school, take it from me....don't let that keep you from it! Your kids will thank you! I promise!

”I think Innocence and childhood is a blessing and I think it should be preserved as long as possible." ♥️ YES!

When I taught Middle School, both public and private, I always remembered to approach it as if they are just going to forget everything I taught them anyway. Their brains were just hormones up. What they really need is Mom and Dad and lots of hug and questions to be answered. This only happens in a healthy homeschool environment.

YES to all of this. It’s about giving them time to be kids while equipping them to handle the realities of this world a little at a time. Learning to be in this world but not of it. What a gift.

I cannot encourage moms enough that relationship you develop with your child in the late elementary and middle school years will greatly impact the later teen years in both your relationship with them and the choices that they make as a teenager and young adult. Even though they start to push you away, they need you more than ever (and they WANT you to reel them back in). The patience you have and the time you spend listening and talking now will pay huge dividends later. The trust that your child will have in you and the bond that you create during these years is a great treasure for both of you This is one huge benefit of homeschooling if you use the time wisely.

So blessed to be homeschooling, especially through middle school. I see the 6th graders that my son would be in school with walking our neighborhood daily, cursing, talking about boyfriends and girlfriends, making fun of other kids.... I am just SO thankful my middle schooler isn't around those kids.

Great video! It always saddens me when people who have been homeschooling put their kids in middle school and high school because of “all they will miss out.” To us, that is one of the biggest reasons to homeschool those years, so that our children don’t have to deal with the school scene.

And I wholeheartedly agree with you about preserving our children’s innocence for as long as possible, I’ve watched so much innocence taken away in this age and it’s heartbreaking

Thank you for this as I find myself second guessing my decision to homeschool more and more as she gets older. It IS hard, in so many ways but also so worth it. I can only pray that I'm doing the right thing.

I substitute for mainly middle school and I was SHOCKED that they didn't know how to read an analog clock or how to write cursive! But they knew all the dances from TikTok and some meme sayings. I had to research a lot of what they were talking about because it was so much jargon!

This just popped up in my feed and apparently I hadn’t watched it when it first came out. But let me just say...... AMEN!!! “Kids will soon be adults and have a lifetime to learn about all the wickedness there is out there.”So let them be a kid!! Preach! I agree 100% with everything here!! So good.

So happy I have found your account! We will taking our children out of public school after this school year. My oldest will be a middle schooler next year.

Yes! Agree 100%. I am homeschooling 1 in high school, 2 in middle and 1 in elementary - next year that will be 3 in high school...the middle school years were challenging but also SO rewarding! My kids thank me ALL THE TIME - they see the difference!!! So thankful for the opportunity ❤️ Love your channel...keep speaking the truth, even when it’s not the popular opinion 🙏🏼😊

I agree!! I see so many loosen up or give up at middle school age and think no, no, no, that's the worst time to do that. I'm with you 100%!!

Girl, I wish I could like this videos one hundred times!! This the exactly how I feel about everything you just mentioned!! Thank you for not being afraid to stand up for truth and share it boldly! I totally agree and this is how my stance is with my own family! Blessings to you and yours. 😊

Thank you for your boldness! I needed to hear this today. The timing of this is incredible. This week our prayer as a family is for clarification regarding next school year. We have been on the fence about allowing our middle school boys to go to public school. This was such a reminder as to why we started homeschooling in the first place. Yes! Yes! Yes!

Thank you for this! I am literally sitting up at 12:30 am contemplating registering my children for PS in the morning. Today was a rough day. Thank you for reminding us families that this is not an easy journey but the reasons we choose to do this is what sustains us. Beautifully spoken, precise, and right on time!!

I never knew something like this existed. Thank you for sharing. It's nice to hear someone else that also feels the same way as far as learning about the real world too quickly.

Can’t tell you how much I love this video. You seem to say all the things I’m thinking but am unable to articulate in the moment when someone is harassing me or quizzing my child because he’s homeschooled. Quite frankly, I’m disgusted with what’s considered “normal” in mainstream media/public. We are up against the fight of our lives and I’m glad I have your channel to come to for support/encouragement! Thank you for sharing your lives with us ❤️

I agree! It was nice to hear your thoughts on the subject. Something that I’ve noticed with my three middle school aged children is that without a lot of peer pressure, this age child embraces academics. In our homeschool, it is the time school work becomes more challenging...and they are capable and pleased to accomplish big things!
