Are you a boy mom? Raising boys in today's cultural climate is a challenge. Boys are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed—when they are simply doing what their Creator wired them to do. As moms of boys, we can struggle to understand them and respond in a way that will encourage them toward the kind of manhood God has in mind. Durenda Wilson is truly an expert on boys! In today's episode and her book Raising Boys to Men, Durenda shares her almost three decades of experience raising and homeschooling her five boys. She brings wisdom and perspective that will inspire moms to see their sons in afresh and hopeful way, so moms can raise the next generation of boys to be courageous men of faith and action. If you're a boy mom and have read ALL the books, yet wonder if the authors ever actually raised boys, this is the practical and real book you're looking for! Durenda and her husband Darryl are parents to 8 children and have become great friends to Emily and Wiggy. We are SO grateful for their inspiration to parents and their wise council.

On a recent episode of the podcast, we talked about how the homesteading lifestyle is a call back to home-centered living: homesteading, homemaking, home cooking, home business, homeschooling, etc.  Today's conversation ventures off from farm and homestead topics and dives into an equally important aspect of homestead life: raising our kids. This chat with Durenda, author and homeschooling mother of eight children (five sons), takes us through the importance of raising our boys into strong men who will lead homes and communities.  When the world teaches us to devalue the role of men in our homes and in society, we hope this episode encourages you to drown out the noise and embrace who your sons are made to be. In this episode, we cover: Recognizing and supporting the God-given nature of boys Taking a counter-cultural stance in raising our boys to be strong men The value of seeking a father's input in raising sons Two different approaches to discipline Why it is so important to take a step back and pause before disciplining How even our imperfect efforts make a profound impact Tailoring your homeschooling approach to your son's learning style Embracing the challenges and rewards of the teen years Considerations for parenting a son with special needs An exhortation to steward our boys into strong, godly men View full show notes and transcript on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

We feel guilty because we simply can't meet all the needs of everyone and everything around us. We're not giving our kids the education they deserve. We're not keeping up with the house. We can't live up to the demands of motherhood. Our husbands need us. Our family needs us. It's never ending and we are left feeling like a failure. Well, it's time to let go of that guilt. Durenda Wilson, joins Yvette Hampton to encourage us with truth, scripture, and stories of how the Lord has worked through her obedience to home educate and disciple the hearts of her children.  This episode is an excerpt from Durenda's session for the Homegrown Generation Family Expo.

Tell me in the comments below. More About Durenda... Photo Credit: Julia Wilson Durenda married Darryl in 1989, and she is a mom to eight kids born less than thirteen years apart. She always considered motherhood to be the ultimate career, but she had no idea of the countless ways it would deepen and humble her. Many, many times she found herself unsure and struggling, only to discover God's strength at the end of her rope. She realized she experienced the grace she desperately needed when she took the time to slow her heart and listen for His still, small voice. Her greatest joy is helping moms discover that grace as well--and with it the courage to put their full trust in Him as they learn to hear His voice above all others.

Are you wondering if homeschooling would be best for your family? Today I have mom of 8, author, and homeschooling mom Durenda Wilson on the show.  She shared with us how she became an author and how that process looked like for her to write a book. She mentioned that she  was hesitant to write a book but after several people nudging her to do it she realized that her gifting is writing.  Durenda shares with us how homeschooling is different from public school  and that home life is a great representation of the real life.  Also,  how homeschooling allows for kids to move more, get outside and be able to have order the way it fits your family the best. She found that when her boys started to provoke their sisters she knew they needed to blow off physical energy that they wouldn't be able to do in a public school setting.  She also shares with us about going at a slower pace and how that can be beneficial and that we don't learn very well under stress.  Lastly, we talk about curriculum, and how everyone wants that's golden egg that will turn their child into a prodigy or get into college, and just doesn't exist.  Also, that you have to think about the curriculum for the parent as well as for the child. Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

In this episode, Dr. Kathy talks again with Durenda Wilson. They begin by talking about the benefits of being unhurried.

Dr. Kathy and Durenda also talk about the advantages of playing outside and homeschooling.   Resources mentioned in this episode: The Four-Hour School Day: How You and Your Kids Can Thrive in the Homeschool Life by Durenda Wilson, The Unhurried Homeschooler: A Simple, Mercifully Short Book on Homeschooling by Durenda Wilson, Unhurried Grace for a Mom's Heart: 31 Days in God's Word by Durenda Wilson, DurendaWilson.com, The Durenda Wilson Podcast, Start with the Heart, CelebrateKids.com   Submit your questions and share your feedback: Debbie@CelebrateKids.com, www.Facebook.com/CelebrateKidsInc, www.Instagram.com/CelebrateKidsInc

When I began homeschooling in the early '90s, most people didn't know it was legal or if it was possible. Parents had a lot to prove to society, especially since professional educators had convinced parents that only qualified "teachers" were fit to educate children.   Well, we worked hard to prove that parents could educate their children thereby disproving their decades-long messaging. It was a tactic used to make parents doubt their ability to educate their children. After thirty years of shaping a movement, parents are still told they don't have what it takes to teach their children. Something I find hard to imagine. Thankfully, millions of parents don't buy into that argument anymore.   In this episode, Durenda Wilson, author of The 4-Hour School Day, shares what she has learned along the way. We debunk myths surrounding homeschooling and discuss the positive elements of children learning at home. Our goal is for you to have a positive attitude towards parenting and motherhood.   Listen to our conversation and read the detailed show notes with resource links here: https://conniealbers.com/the-4-hour-school-day/  

Dr. Kathy talks with Durenda Wilson about why and how to raise children who are lifelong learners. They talk about the role of curiosity. Her answer about what happens to children who aren't lifelong learners is profound! Also, learn about how and why to talk with your children. We also talk about structure, boundaries, and stability that allows for flexibility and obedience. We also talk about chores and teaching children a work ethic. Wow! This is a packed-full episode!   Resources mentioned in this episode: 8 Great Smarts, The Four-Hour School Day: How You and Your Kids Can Thrive in the Homeschool Life by Durenda Wilson, DurendaWilson.com, The Durenda Wilson Podcast, Awakening Genius in the Classroom by Tom Armstrong, www.CelebrateKids.com   Submit your questions and share your feedback: Debbie@CelebrateKids.com, www.Facebook.com/CelebrateKidsInc, www.Instagram.com/CelebrateKidsInc

A listener is asking about my accidental homeschooling status, and it turns out, I’m not the only one ’round these parts! Yvette Hampton is joining me today and we’re talking about why we decided to homeschool and SchoolHouse Rocked, a documentary you won’t want to miss! Yvette Hampton has been married to her awesome husband, Garritt, for 23 years and is beyond blessed to be mom to her two sweet girls. She is the producer and host of the upcoming documentary, Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution. In the fall of 2016, she and her family sold their home and most of their possessions, loaded up in an RV, and began traveling the country to film Schoolhouse Rocked. They have a passion for the homeschool community and are humbled and honored that the Lord has called them to tell the story of the millions of families who have been impacted by the homeschool revolution.

They were simply being obedient to the One who had called them to be different. They knew that if He had called them, He would equip them.

It’s easy to become overwhelmed with our schedules, and we’d probably all be lying if we didn’t admit to being there at least once ourselves! In fact, I wrote a book about that! But there are some things you can do to keep from being beat!  Let’s talk about some practical and spiritual strategies today, busy mom! Scriptures Matthew 11:28-30 Resources Crazy Busy: A Mercifully Short Book about a (Really) Big Problem by Kevin DeYoung – I’M TOO BUSY!” We’ve all heard it. We’ve all said it. All too often, busyness gets the best of us.  Just one look at our jam-packed schedules tells us how hard it can be to strike a well-reasoned balance between doing nothing and doing it all.  That’s why award-winning author and pastor Kevin DeYoung addresses the busyness problem head on in his newest book, Crazy Busy — and not with the typical arsenal of time management tips, but rather with the biblical tools we need to get to the source of the issue and pull the problem out by the roots.  Highly practical and super short, Crazy Busy will help you put an end to “busyness as usual.” More Like This From The Busy Mom How Busy is Too Busy? -Life is busy and often there is no end in sight. Join Heidi and Durenda as they help sort out how busy really is just too busy. Busy Seasons and Weary Souls – God doesn’t clearly tell us in his Word what is too much or too little when it comes to busyness. That’s something we each have to walk out with him. What He does tell us though, is that He wants us to be about HIS business…His agenda. In other words, to be led by the Holy Spirit. Being too busy is only okay if it’s what He wants us to do. Balance for Busy Moms – So what does this have to do with balance?  First, we need to work to please God, not others.  Second, and it may not seem obvious at first, but if you read from verse 17  back down to that parallel verse, verse 23, you will see something that stood out to me:  I noticed that all of the verses in between 17 and 23 talk about the importance of relationships. Those verses are all about healthy family relationships: wives and husbands are supposed to be in loving relationships with each other; we read that fathers are not to exasperate their children.  God’s Word is telling us that good works situations and healthy family situations go hand in hand.  This takes prioritizing and balancing.  Sometimes, good things rob us of the best things. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heidistjohn/support

Shepherding teens is an opportunity to see the blessing of the Lord’s fruit in their lives. Your teens will let you down – and you’ll let them down, too! But it is worth it is actively stay in the fight as you prepare to launch them into the world. Ultimately, they belong to the Lord, and at the end of our parenting journey, we want to be able to say that we have shepherded them well. Scriptures Ephesians 6:4 Colossians 3:21 Dr. James Dobson on Amazon -Founder and chairman emeritus of Focus on the Family, a nonprofit organization that produced his internationally syndicated radio programs, heard by more than 200 million people every day. A licensed psychologist and marriage, family, and child counselor, he earned a Ph.D. from the University of Southern California in the field of child development. The author of more than 30 books, including his most recent bestseller, Bringing Up Boys, he has been heavily involved in governmental activities related to the family.

With wit, wisdom, humility, and compassion, he shows parents how to seize the countless opportunities to deepen communication and learn and grow with their teens. Yes, Your Teen is Crazy: Loving Your Teen Without Losing Your Mind by Michael J Bradley – Reminding parents that you can’t relate to a crazy teen the same way you relate to a rational adult, Bradley tells readers how to navigate the adolescent minefield. Sticking With Your Child by Joe White -Is there a chasm growing between you and your teen? Whether your adolescent is a major prodigal or a minor problem, don’t give up! Your relationship is everything, and it’s never too late to start mending it. In Sticking with Your Teen, you’ll take an honest look at the way you parent. You’ll discover creative, schedule-friendly ways to get closer to your son or daughter. You’ll see why teens turn distant and defiant and receive the encouragement and hope every parent needs to draw closer to his or her adolescent. More Like this from The Busy Mom Loving Your Teen Without Losing Your Mind – Finding the balance between parenting and letting go during the teen year is hard and growing tension makes it even harder.  Join Heidi and Durenda as they share their experiences on the podcast. Got Teens? P is for Perseverance – If you would have told me twenty years ago that one of my bubbly, bright-eyed, adorable little babies would ever be disrespectful or rude to me I would have said, “not a chance.” After all, my stellar parenting skills and unconditional love would prevent it. Right? In Pursuit of Your Teen – As parents, we need to be keeping our finger on the pulse on our children’s relationships with other people and their relationship with the Lord. We can’t do that if we’re not talking to them. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heidistjohn/support
