make joy normal: cozy homeschooling
family prayer life, responding to angst, and when do we know it’s not working?
The first half of this episode discusses a question about prayer life in the family, finding time, developing habits. As I have a lot of secular followers, I wanted to qualify that I don’t think it will be a waste of time for you! Finding time for self reflection, gratitude, sorting out our ideals and expectations are built on the same ideas...building routines, developing mastery of ourselves in small ways daily.
Here are the things we discussed in today’s show:
- Building family prayer life, the importance of routine and mastery
- We share some favourite family prayers
- What happens when the day goes sideways, and how should we respond to meltdowns
- Keeping our kids close
- How do we know when homeschooling isn’t working
1:44 - How do you start a family prayer routine?
15:38 - Prayers for kids and family
25:33 - What to do when children are not joyful
32:40 - When homeschooling isn't working
