If you've ever found yourself discouraged in motherhood and wondering where to look for help, today's guest, Whitney Newby from Brighter Day Press, has written a Scripture-drenched devotional geared toward helping you answer that exact question. In this episode, we chat all things motherhood, including the fallacy of “doing it all” (nobody does) and how to change our mindset when we're being bombarded by negativity from the world. Be encouraged that there is hope and purpose in those moments of feeling stuck and not knowing where to turn. God is always by our side.

Classical Education for Students with Special Needs: Classical Education has a reputation for targeting the brightest and most precocious students and providing far too rigorous a path for any but the child prodigy. But is that actually the case? Can classical education provide a path forward for students with special needs? Indeed, classical education contributes to intellectual growth regardless of a child's starting point! Read on to discover the transformative power of this educational philosophy, especially when tailored for special needs students. We'll discuss the universal adaptability of classical education, showcasing its ability to nurture intellectual growth, foster independence, and provide a holistic educational experience for children with unique learning requirements. Learning practical strategies for fostering independence in children with ADHD and dysgraphia further underscores the flexibility of classical education, making it a valuable choice for families navigating learning challenges. Grounded in the principles of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, classical education emerges not only as an inclusive educational approach but as a beacon of hope and empowerment for families navigating the intricate terrain of special needs homeschooling.

Few books had such a profound impact in my childhood as the Anne of Green Gables series by L. M. Montgomery. Anne's passionate curiosity and wonder-filled approach to the world around her, fierce loyalty, and delightful imagination continue to delight readers of all ages. So I was beyond excited for the opportunity to chat with author and publisher Katie Stewart. Katie is a fellow Anne-lover who recently published an annotated edition of Anne of Green Gables, bringing Anne to a new generation of readers. Whether you love Anne already or are new to the delights of Prince Edward Island, this is a conversation you won't want to miss!

What do you get when you take one tired homeschool mom and one sorta-sick teen daughter and put them in a room together in front of a microphone? You get today's slightly-of-the-rails-but-still-totally-awesome Homeschool Conversations episode! My 16-year-old daughter, Emma, reprises her role as guest co-host as we kick off Season 8 of the podcast. (She has come on each season since Season 5, so if you like today's episode, be sure to scroll back in your podcast feed and catch up on all that awesomeness.) Now, if you're new around here, I assure you that the regular tone of the podcast is a bit more polished. But today you get the raw, unedited, slightly kooky version of the Sloan family. So... consider yourself forewarned. (Some people actually say these Q&A episodes are their favorite... but I do just like to make sure people prepare themselves for the giggles!) Make sure you're subscribed to Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology so you don't miss a single episode! You can expect an encouraging interview every other week, with a few bonus episodes sprinkled throughout. In fact, our very first bonus episode comes Monday and it's going to be one all the Anne of Green Gables fans, especially, won't want to miss!!

I love how there has been an emphasis recently within education, especially in classical circles, on restful-learning. As I have pondered what “rest” means in my own life (not just in my home education), I return over and over again to the concept of resting from my own workings and attempts to earn God's favor by being awesome. My rest is found by relying on the accomplished work of Jesus Christ for my identity. The hard news that I will never be “good enough” drives me to repentance and humility. The blessedly amazing news of grace drives me to doxological shouts of joy. Welcome to this week's installment in the Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology summer audioblog series!

Bonus Episode! In June of 2020, we produced a podcast episode about J. Robert Oppenheimer. It was part of a series we called "Author Research in Action" where we invited two guests—one an award-winning author, and the other a subject matter expert. We stepped back let them interview each other and we recorded their conversation. Considering the movie Oppenheimer—The story of the American scientist and his role in the development of the atomic bomb—is currently in theaters, we thought it appropriate to revisit this episode. Reference Librarian Helen Hokanson hosts a discussion on the Manhattan Project and so much more. Los Alamos National Laboratory Program Manager and Senior Historian, Alan Carr is paired with author Robert J. Sawyer, who's written a new SciFi/historical fiction/thriller called THE Oppenheimer Alternative. Our recommendations: There are more than 240 Booklists on Oppenheimer in our catalog One of our Librarians produced a list titled: Thanks Oppenheimer! Another of our Librarians created a list that acknowledges the cultural impact of both the Oppenheimer and Barbie movies: Barbenheimer 2023
So you want to sing Psalms with your children, but you're not really sure where to start. Or maybe you wonder why singing Psalms with children is even important! Is Psalm singing really something to prioritize in family life? We have a special episode today in the Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology summer audioblog series. Today my friend Melissa Cummings shares not only her personal experience and love for singing Psalms, but she also gives practical tips for including Psalm singing in the homeschool day.

You've heard about this thing called classical education and you're curious. Should you choose to pursue a classical education in your homeschool? Or maybe you already consider yourself a Christian classical educator, but you're feeling burned out. The kids don't seem to remember or appreciate the things you thought they would, and you wonder if it's even worth it. So, why do I pursue a Christian classical education in our homeschool?

We discuss the important books that are on our list, and what we've already read. Note: we have a conversation about both the continued importance of books about injustice and the way that authors of color can be pressured to feel obligated to write about race by a majority white publishing industry in a way that white authors are not. It was pointed out to several of us pod members that the way that we initially portrayed this idea was not placing enough importance on the continued necessity for books about racial injustice. We want to explain this ahead of time and also apologize. And upon looking back, I can also see how some of the conversation was said in an ambiguous way that did not make clear the true intention of the article that we were referencing on this, and minimized the absolute necessity for stories about racism. This podcast tries to cover a lot of different topics and our goal is to remember at all times that a lot of us are talking about subjects that we have not personally experienced. If you the listener ever feel that there is something insensitive, or misinformed in the episode, or that we are not doing a good job at that goal, please reach out to us in the comments. And here is the article that was mentioned: it does a much better job explaining an idea that we did not give voice to in the best way: https://gal-dem.com/anti-racism-genre-black-lives-matter-race-literature/ : *and to clear up some of the ambiguity: when we talk about the oversaturation of YA lit: we are saying that it is oversaturated with books by white authors. https://wordpress.com/read/blogs/199351343/posts/9 https://www.instagram.com/on_the_shelf_podcast/

Hi Friends. In this episode of TBR Lowdown:
Today's episode is about how to help a friend who's in crisis because of illness or grief. It's also about how to ask for help rather than waiting for friends to know exactly what to do.My guest, Alissa Butterfass, is a mother of two, works in non-profit consulting, and also runs Alissa's Book Lists, a Facebook page for book recommendations. She's an active member of her children's school community where she has experience giving support to people in challenging times, and also being on the receiving side of that support when she was diagnosed with cancer in 2014 and again when her husband Andy died unexpectedly in December 2019. A few months ago, Alissa reached out on email to discuss a trend she saw on some of the Facebook pages and forums for widows. She wrote: One thing I see over and over in these groups is people complaining that friends who said they'd be there for them have disappeared or dropped off or stopped supporting them. Now, maybe I am just lucky, but I honestly don't feel that way. I feel like I have lots of friends who would be there for me -- all I have to do is ask. I certainly don't expect my friends to read my mind or guess what I need from them. And each time I see one of these complaints, I WANT to reply, "Have you asked for help? Do they know what you need? Are you expecting too much?" So that started a conversation between the two of us about the nature of friendships when one of the friends is experiencing a crisis. I had not started DEAR NINA yet, but I knew I would, and I knew Alissa could help so many listeners. You can find the show notes HERE. ASK AN ANONYMOUS QUESTION ANY TIME!

Welcome to a new episode of The Couch. Today I'm here with a new friend, Jessica Howard. Jessica lives in Flagstaff, Arizona, with her husband, two kids, and about 1,200 books. She works in a bookstore, and can pretty much always be found either reading, baking, or talking about books. If you need a good book recommendation, Jessica has you covered! We had so much fun chatting, and I think you'll get a lot out of our conversation, too. In this episode, we're talking about audiobooks that are perfect for road trips. After all, ‘tis the season for road trips, right? And even if you don't have a trip coming up anytime soon, hopefully you're starting to get back to quasi-normal life in some ways—and for lots of us, I know that involves a lot of time in the car, often with our kids. So, Jessica is here to tell us what we can listen to to make those hours and miles go by quicker. Or, at least quieter? And because this is The Couch, where rabbit trails and side notes are always welcome, we also get into a twisty teen TV show and our favorite non-coffee drinks at Starbucks. I'm glad you're here, friends. Get comfy and enjoy this episode! MENTIONED IN THE SHOW: The Chronicles of Narnia audio box set Ramona Quimby collection The Vanderbeekers series The Penderwicks series Anne of Green Gables with Rachel McAdams Little Women (a BBC full-cast dramatization) Rivers of London series The Illuminae Files series Green Lights by Matthew McConaughey Here for It by R.

Is there a place for Catholics in the education system? What do we gain when we bring education home? What do we lose?
