When Homeschooling Fails and When It Works
In this episode, we’re looking at homeschooling and its surge since the pandemic, especially the way it has grown beyond its traditional religious. Some of the questions we explore are: Why should a parent choose homeschooling today? What are the benefits of homeschooling over public school? Safety? Avoiding negative peer pressure? Drug exposure? Ability to tailor school curriculum to the child? Ability to provide religious instruction? Is homeschooling regulated by the state? When it is not regulated, how does the lack of accountability impact students? Do homeschooling students do better or worse than students who go to public schools? Are there advantages to attending public or private school with a classroom of students over being taught individually at home? How have cultural and political considerations affected the homeschooling movement after Covid? Do the benefits of tailored instructions, support for neurodivergent children, and the capacity to outsource teaching outweigh the benefits of being taught in a classroom of other students? What are the risks of homeschooling, including limited regulation, the potential for educational neglect, gaps in social development, and ideological isolation? What about annual testing or third-party ability checks to ensure for homeschooled students? What should parents consider when deciding whether or not to homeschool their children? The episode concludes by saying that homeschooling can be an appropriate choice for many families, but it does demand honest appraisal of parental ability, willingness to obtain professional support and safeguards to protect the child.

Can We Celebrate The Highlight Reel For A Minute?
In this episode, Vanessa is facing her first fall with zero kids in school after 7 children — and the relief is real (even if it came with some end-of-summer office vibes). Julie and Sarah talk about how scary it can feel to admit that your 20's are often hard but we like to pretend that they're easy. And Sarah shares the biggest news of the season: she's engaged! Julie and Sarah reflect on wishing they could've relaxed into their 20s more, knowing now that things work out, and talk about the right way (and wrong way) to reassure someone in a hard season: validate first, and save the "it'll be okay" for people who've earned the trust to say it.

When Your Child Says Everyone Else Has It
A mum wrote in during the livestream. She has two boys, nine and five, she wants to protect them from what is online, and she does not want to do it by frightening them. How do you balance that? I use an analogy at those ages. Most of us would not drop a child off in a dangerous part of town and leave them there. The internet is that same part of town, reached through a screen instead of on foot. There are people there who like to hurt others, and there are companies making money the same way. Then there is the part every parent hears: my friends have this. In our house the answer is that we do not do things because other people do them, and we do not do things because of social pressure. We do things based on our principles and on keeping each other healthy. Being normal is not what we are aiming for. Full livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmj519CTr9o

How to Build a Family Your Adult Kids Want to Come Home To | V165
When your children are 30 years old, will they want to spend time with you—or will they come home because they feel obligated? That question can change how you parent today. In Episode 165 of High Performance Parenting, Greg and Jacquie Francis talk about something that becomes increasingly important as children grow: The transition from raising obedient children to building relationships with connected adults. Rules change. Curfews disappear. Chores eventually disappear. But hopefully, the relationship remains. So what makes children want a lifelong relationship with their parents? Greg and Jacquie discuss: How to build trust with your children Why parents' reactions determine what kids are willing to share Creating emotional safety without eliminating accountability Why respect has to go both ways The importance of forgiveness and moving forward How laughter makes families enjoyable Why shared memories matter The power of simple everyday family traditions Questions every couple should ask about their family culture How parenting needs to change as children become adults Why belonging makes adult children want to come home Jacquie shares that one of their priorities has always been making sure their kids know they can bring difficult situations to them without wondering whether Mom or Dad will emotionally explode. They may still have consequences or problems to work through, but they know their parents will walk through it with them. And connection doesn't require extravagant experiences. For the Francis family, some of those memories are simple: sitting in the driveway at night, pulling chairs into a circle, eating snacks, watching the kids play pickleball, and talking together for an hour. The goal isn't merely: “Did I raise an obedient child?” Eventually the question becomes: “Did we build a relationship that this adult still wants to be part of?” Because: Rules help shape childhood. Relationship shapes adulthood. Want practical tools for building a family your children love coming home to? Comment or DM FAMILY to receive the Strong Family Blueprint.
