Terms of Service for Homeschool Consulting Sessions:
If you are new to homeschooling, you will naturally have a lot of questions. The responsibility of your child's education is a big one to shoulder. This is why we encourage and emphasize one-on-one video sessions - we can help you to:
- Find the right learning programs (religious or non-religious).
- Turn information and skills into lessons.
- Strategize your record keeping and planning.
- Point you to educational resources and requirements for your particular State.
- Understand your role as a teacher, guide, mentor and parent in a way to facilitate a positive learning environment.
- Manage stress for you and your children (lower stress means higher creativity).
- Discover a clear and concise philosophy of learning

For Your Sessions:
We encourage at attitude of openness and self-knowledge. The parent-child relationship is probably the most important of all human relationships as it has long-lasting effects. According to numerous medical and psychological benchmarks, our relationships with our own parents were most likely poor and that alone is cause to self-examine what tools and approaches we use to interact with our children. This topic can be a sensitive topic as we have grown accustomed to the toxic relationships from our own upbringing and were told that that unhealthy environment was what parental 'love' was. Be patient and committed - you will be surprised by how improving the parent-child relationship can greatly improve learning, creativity and have a greater general sense of wellbeing. The bottom line is to be open to self-knowledge - change may not happen overnight, but it can happen and when it does, it is an amazing ah-ha moment.
