Failing Homeschooling

A few things to do:

1. Electronics are out of bounds. Not a single second of the week or he will have a relapse. Usually most kids these days have no appetite to learn because they get too high a dosage of dopamine from electronics. It takes the joy out of learning, out of chores and out of going outdoors.

2. Homeschooling is not school at home. Before homeschooling, always deschool for a couple of weeks and find out what type of homeschooling suits your family: Wildschooling, Natureschooling, Forestschooling, Gameschooling, Worldschooling, etc. the list goes on. My kids and I have settled for JesusSchooling where the Bible is the textbook and we go through the Bible from Gen to Rev each year with all subjects intertwined into it.

3. If he is not on electronics, you're done deschooling, and he is still having an issue, the problem is the curriculum (and yes, there are plenty of workbook curricula out there). So try Sonlight.

4. If you still have issues after all this, talk to me.


All the best

Previously "forced" to get baptized and speak in tongues?

Get baptized again. Nothing wrong with that. At least this time, it's from your heart. You don't HAVE to speak in tongues immediately.

Everyone is different, that's all. But the question now is whether you want to learn to speak in tongues or not. I believe God created tongues for us to use, and He had a reason for it. Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." What probably should have been done is to first share with you the main reason for baptism. John 1:4-5 "John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, ...

Racism and all

Racism is real. Was hit so hard lately that I changed both my profile pic and cover photo on Facebook. I can't do business or ministry on social media without hiding my face and race, unfortunately... Even when I wrote a book, I didn't put my picture and definitely did not disclose my ethnicity, nationality or even age. Given a choice, I would even hide the fact that I am a woman and go by an alias or my last name, like J K Rowling.  And if my grammar was incorrect in parts of my speech or posts... That's a giveaway.

Oreo Method: Delegating to Kids

Two ways to do it -- I call this the Oreo Method: you either eat the cookies or the cream: Cookie Method If you aren't in a hurry that day, the kids routinely do the tasks they're worst at until they 'graduate' from doing that task -- you're happy with the standards they're achieving for that task. This can go on for months. Cream Method Or when you're in a hurry: the other way around -- the kids do the chores they're the best at and the house gets put in order quickly.
