Are you in conflict with another member of your homeschool community? Are you avoiding that person because you are afraid of the drama or divisiveness that seems inevitable?  Are you afraid of losing friendships because of the unknown outcome?  Does your stomach turn when thinking about confronting a conflict? This experience is so common to all of us! No one likes to face those challenges that could result in loss of relationship.  But oftentimes, our avoidance of conflict just makes matters worse. Today we want to encourage you that you can overcome your fear of conflict and we will show you how.

Now that summer is upon us and we’ve had time to reflect on the past year, let’s have some fun.  Just because school is out doesn’t mean we stop connecting as a community.  Some of the best ways to foster a close knit community, where you grow together in your faith, is through simple summer time connections.  Here are 3 ways to connect over the summer!
Psalms 133:1 (NKJV)
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!

Happy End of the Year! Homeschool mama! You made it! Are you SOOOO ready for a break? Us too! It’s so tempting to just put away all the school stuff for the year and not think about anything related to homeschool or community or planning. . . We all need a break.  But just closing the books and not looking at or thinking about them again is probably not the best approach to your year end. In this episode, we want to encourage you to take the time needed to end your year well.  Now is the time to reflect back on the year and record what went well and what could be improved upon.  To give thanks for the growth and look for areas that still need to change.  To solicit feedback and process.  In this episode, we give some suggestions on how you can end your year well, and truly rest during this break.  
Psalm 143:5 
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands.

Welcome to part 2 of our series about “bad” behavior.  In Episode 43 we talked about reframing how you think about behavior. If we approach behavior with the understanding that there are unmet needs of the students, we can connect and interact to set students up for success.  If we react from emotion, ourselves as teachers and the students are set up for failure. In today's episode we will share strategies to help prevent unwanted behavior so you can avoid a poor or stressful learning environment  and create an environment where your students can thrive.

Do you have students in your co-op with bad behavior?  Are your teachers and mentors frustrated with lack of classroom management? Are they feeling helpless?  What if I told you that it is in your power to reframe your mindset and turn the situation around.  Be ready to be mind-blown in order to make this shift.  
How many of you have had a student in your co-op that has become the target of disapproval, has gained the reputation of being a problem, or you have had to lead a classroom where you know you have a student that is going to be disruptive and you don’t know what to do about it.  In this episode, we are going to be addressing this very difficult and emotional topic - we would like to give you a different way of looking at what might be called “bad behavior” 
Philippians 2:2-4 ESV /Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
