10 Days of Homeschooling Girls

A Prayer for Your Daughter and A Giveaway | Day 10

February 18, 2011 By Homegrown Mom Filed Under: 10 Days of Homeschooling Girls, Homegrown Kids

Today is the final day of 10 Days of Homeschooling Girls!

I know most mothers pray over their children daily. We might do it on our own, in our quiet time, or with our hands on them, as we tuck them in safely at night. So often thankfulness wells up in me when I look at my girls throughout the day. Often, I’ll utter a prayer of thanksgiving or a blessing as I see my daughters going through the day-to-day happenings called life.

I was looking through my I Love My Husband Book the other day (yes, I like to read my old letters to him) and an old prayer I wrote out for Eric made me smile. There is something so vulnerable about sharing your personal prayers with someone. I like knowing that Eric knows my innermost thoughts towards him, and that he knows I lift him up to our Lord in so many ways.

Anyway, since this is the Homeschooling Girls Series, I’m sure you’ve guessed where I am going with this. I think it would be a lovely gift to write out a heartfelt prayer for your daughter and share it with her.

If you’re unsure how to start, here are some things you could include:

Thank God for who she is.
Thank God specifically for gifts and talents He’s given her.
Thank God for strengths you see in her walk with Him.
Praise Him for specific blessings and answered prayers in her life lately.
Pray for her future, her walk with God, the choices she’ll be making.
Pray that she would love God and His Word even more.
Pray that she would grow in knowledge, wisdom, and love.
Pray for any upcoming events that are important to her.
Pray that she’ll be a blessing to others.
Pray for her future husband.
Thank God that you get to be her mom.

That should get the ball rolling

Thanks for sticking around these last ten days!

Now, a giveaway. I get to give one reader a ticket to the Heart of the Matter Online Homeschool Conference! Online, meaning no babysitter needed. No make-up needed. Heck, no clothes needed if that’s how you roll. At $14.95, you can afford to go even if you don’t win!

Homeschool Field Trips | Homeschooling Girls Day 8

February 16, 2011 By Homegrown Mom Filed Under: 10 Days of Homeschooling Girls, Homeschool

Do you take field trips with your homeschoolers? We are blessed to belong to a homeschool group that plans field trips for us, but I still plan some just for us once in a while. Listed below are some girly field trips for you and your daughters.

Many of these are places you can visit as a consumer and simply handle the leading yourself. However, many companies are more than willing to work with homeschoolers. Call ahead and see if you can get a behind-the-scenes tour. Find a group of friends to go with and you’ll have even more fun.

Preparing for a Field Trip

Don’t be afraid to ask. Even if it’s just you and your kids, the majority of businesses you contact will be happy to arrange a tour. Be willing to be flexible on the time and make sure you tell the person on the phone how your kids will benefit from such a trip.

Be considerate of the place you’re visiting. Show up on time and with the number you were approved for. Of course it is a problem to show up with too many guests, but it can be even worse when you’ve made a reservation for 20 and only 3 show up. If you’re inviting a group, getting payment ahead of time will help with no-shows.

Make a donation. If the field trip is free, and it would be appropriate, then make a small donation to thank them for their time.

Prep your kids. Remind your kids to listen politely, keep their hands to themselves, and ask intelligent questions. I went on a week-long trip with my daughter’s sixth grade class, and the teacher gave the students points if they asked intelligent questions of the docents and tour guides. I was pretty impressed with the questions the kids asked, and the docents were very pleased, too.

Follow up. Have your kids write a thank you note after the trip.

Ideas for Girly Field Trips.

Sports that she might like to try, but you can’t afford on a regular basis. Does your daughter dream of owning a horse or get misty eyed watching ice skating during the winter Olympics? You might not be able to afford regular lessons, but a one-time tour or group lesson could be done.

Horseback Riding

Ice Skating

Gymnastics

Cheerleading

Tennis

Golf

Businesses of interest. Is your daughter into puppies or is she a budding artist? Plan a visit to a business that will give her an insider’s look.

Salon or Cosmetology school

Retail clothing store

Bookstore

Art gallery or Museum

Candy factory (We visited the Jelly Belly factory in Sacramento. So fun!)

Bakery or Café

Your local symphony

Veterinarian

Farm

Local newspaper

Field Trips that Encourage Homemaking skills. Encourage your daughter’s homemaking skills with thoughtfully planned field trips.

Grocery store. Take a day or to learn about nutrition and meal planning, and then let your daughter plan a day’s worth of meals and create a shopping list. Go shopping and help her navigate the store. This can be adapted to fit your girl’s age.

Volunteer. Nurture your daughter’s nurturing side. Volunteer at a food bank, homeless shelter, animal shelter, or the church nursery. If a behind-the-scenes tour is available, take one. In addition to fostering compassion, she’ll learn the organization, skill, and thought that goes into some of these seemingly simple ministries. She might even find a lifelong passion for ministry!

A Restaurant. Is there a restaurant you frequent or a chef you’re friends with? Ask if your girl can spend a couple hours in the kitchen, or get a lesson during off-hours. Offer to pay for their time. Perhaps a pastry-making lesson could be arranged! Of course, you’ll have to be willing to taste-test

A Garden or Nursery. Learning to grow plants and take tender care of them will be priceless! In fact, I think I need to arrange a field trip like this for myself.

A Fabric Shop. Browse fabrics and sewing supplies if you can’t get a tour. You can let your girl choose a pattern to take home and complete. Just looking through the pattern books would inspire many things!

An Interior Design business. A designer willing to share her secrets and lots of examples would make for a fun day, wouldn’t it?

Your Daughter’s Hormones | Homeschooling Girls Day 7

February 15, 2011 By Homegrown Mom Filed Under: 10 Days of Homeschooling Girls

free digital photos

Could I really write a series about homeschooling girls and not discuss hormones? I don’t think so.

Hormones on their own are perfectly normal, essential part of our body’s makeup. But it’s not really hormones I’m talking about here. It’s the days our hormones go haywire. The days we literally cry over spilled milk. Or go on a rant about someone leaving a door open. Or automatically assume that when your husband says he needs some laundry done that he’s calling you fat.

Don’t deny it, we all have those days. And if your daughter is anywhere near her teen years, she will too. Hormones. Joy of joys.

As I’m sure you’ve found out over the course of your life, though, hormones don’t have to be a death sentence. You have probably learned to control the eye-rolling, door-slamming, what-ever! days by the time you have kids. Or at least have toned it down a little. But then your daughter gets to a certain age and it’s downright terrifying how much she takes after you in this department. All of a sudden, you might even find yourself acting like a thirteen year old as you try to maneuver the murky waters of homeschooling a girl who is experiencing pms.

There I said it. P-M-S. It’s real and it sucks.

Anyway.

There’s no reason we can’t lovingly teach our daughters how to get a handle on their moody days, and at the same time work on improving our own attitudes and tone.

Teaching Your Daughter to Deal with Raging Hormones

First, of all, pick a time to have a nice chat about hormones and the havoc they wreak on a woman’s disposition. I would pick a time when my daughter is not experiencing PMS, and we’re not in the middle of a crappy day.

The three A’s of an Attitude Adjustment Talk:

1. Acknowledge what she’s going through. Be sure she knows that you understand this is a real thing.

2. Admit that you’ve been there, too. Maybe even share an embarrassing story or two. The point is to let her know that she is not alone! In fact, bonding over how crummy you feel and giggling over silly things you’ve done might just be a benefit to going through all this with your girl!

3. Arm her with Tools. Letting your daughter know you understand where she is coming from is good, but it’s not enough. Don’t leave your girl unprepared for the next upcoming battle! How do you handle your rough days? Share your tips with her and ask her if she has any ideas of her own to tame moodiness when it strikes.

Tools to share with her (that will work for you, too!):

Pray. We all need that reminder sometimes. Let your daughter know that God understands what she is going through, too. After all, He created her! Remind her that spending time in the Word and in prayer will help her be more like Jesus. And while you’re at it, pray for her right then and there.

Relax. Take a hot bath, curl up with a good book, or catch your favorite show. Get cozy and give yourself a break.

Take care of yourself. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep and adequate nutrition. Avoid excessive salt or caffeine, these can make symptoms worse. In one of the great paradoxes of life, exercising is supposed to be good for cramps, but I would say let her decide. If she feels she needs a day or two off of PE, then give it to her.

Indulge. A little bit of chocolate never hurt anyone. There are reasons why it is a cliche, and a reason so many women crave it during this time. The more flavorful it is, the more satisfying you’ll find it, and the less you’ll need. So keep the good stuff on hand.

Journal. Sometimes I find my emotions are going crazy because I haven’t really expressed them and when my hormones are going wild, those emotions are more likely to surface. Instead of letting it all out on my husband, I like to write it out. Usually I find I just needed to get something out of my system and then I feel better. And often I feel silly for letting stuff build up for so long.

How to Deal with Your Daughter’s Raging Hormones

Maybe you’ve had the Attitude Adjustment talk and it just hasn’t sunk in yet. Maybe your daughter has had her quiet time, eaten her veggies, had a truffle and written in her journal and still, she’s just burst into tears because you corrected an assignment, then stormed into her room and slammed the door because her little brother made a face at her.

Hey, it happens. I know all these tips myself, heck I just wrote them out, and still I have days where I’m a little snippier than I need to be. Well, that sounds too nice. How about I still have days where I sound/look/feel like a raving maniac? We all fall short, and no matter how awesomely you’ve prepped your girl, she’s going to have a bad day sooner or later. How do you deal then?

1. Set the Ground Rules. We’ve acknowledged that sometimes it sucks to be a lady, and we’ve admitted that we struggle, too. However. Rules are rules and she must still respect and honor her parents. Whatever your normal consequences are for talking back or rolling eyes, or disrespecting you, those consequences still exist. You might offer a friendly warning, or you might not. But remind her that while she might be having an emotional day she will learn to control how she treats you… or else.

2. And yet, be Flexible. Sometimes a little leniency goes a long way. Forgiving her and showing grace instead of instantly doling out a consequence will speak volumes to her heart. You’re the mom, and with the Holy Spirit’s help you’ll know when she needs a firm hand and when she needs you to cut her a little slack.

3. Go the Extra Mile. If you know a hard day is coming up, ward off attitudes before they start. Set up a pampering bath for her. Have tea time and connect with just you and her. Offer to have a friend of hers over so she can have some girl time. A considerate mother is such a blessing to have!

I’ll never forget Coco telling me that she told a friend of hers about how when she entered into a certain phase, I took her out for coffee and had a talk about our bodies and bought a book to read together. Her friend remarked, “You’re so lucky. All I got was a box of pads thrown at me.” Be the mom that goes the extra mile, your daughter will be better for it! And so will you.

I know these are all pretty basic tips, but sometimes we just need those reminders. What tips do you have for handling hormonal days?

Start an American Girl Book Club | Homeschooling Girls Day 6

February 14, 2011 By Homegrown Mom Filed Under: 10 Days of Homeschooling Girls, Homegrown Kids, Homeschool

Have you thought about starting an American Girl Book Club for your daughters? In addition to having a great time, your girls can improve their literature analyzing skills and learn some American history to boot. Here are some helps to get you started.

Before you start, decide how your club will work.

How often will you meet?
We chose to meet once a month since there are homeschool activities aplenty in this area. Since we were meeting monthly, we read the entire book before meeting. If you decide to meet weekly, you could always read one chapter at a time.
Choose a format.
Will you go through one character at a time or choose a different one each time?
Will you meet at the same home each time or share hostess duties?
Will the kids or a mom lead the discussion?
Will you make time for other activities?

Now, all you have to do is invite friends!

Fun Ideas for Your Meetings:

Have a snack that goes with the story you’re currently reading:
Ginger Cookies while reading Kirsten’s stories.
Cream Cheese and Walnut sandwiches for Samantha.
Kit’s Checkerboard sandwiches.

Crafts and activities that go with your book:
Make butter while reading Kirsten.
Make a quilt like Addy’s
Make a purse or blanket for your dolls.

Plan an Outreach:
Collect items for soldiers like Molly and her friends did.
Send blankets to an orphanage or bring coats to a group home like Samantha.

Go on a Fun Outing at the end of a season:
If you live near one of the American Girl Place stores, plan a field trip. We’ve gone to the Los Angeles store with our girls, and it is an experience you won’t soon forget! Just be sure you’ve saved up birthday and Christmas money for a year before you walk in the door

Go on a picnic with your dolls.
Have a tea party with your dolls.
Go skating. Maybe leave the dolls home for this one.

Supplemental Resources

Each character in the American Girls series has supplemental books. There are mysteries, history books, craft books, cook books, activity books, and more. There are even a movies starring Kit, Molly, Samantha, and Felicity.

Disclosure: No money changed hands for the sake of this post. I was not asked to write this by American Girl. They do a fine job of advertising all by themselves, thank you very much. Just wanted to share some fun ideas for you all!

Which American Girl doll is your favorite?

Homeschool PE Ideas | Homeschooling Girls Day 5

February 11, 2011 By Homegrown Mom Filed Under: 10 Days of Homeschooling Girls, Homeschool

When we were first homeschooling, my older daughter Coco and I belonged to a gym. My younger girl, Soleil was a ball of energy that never stopped moving. Working PE into our day was pretty easy.

We ended up quitting the gym to save a little money, not to mention that the environment left a little to be desired. In addition to that, we moved recently and our new backyard isn’t installed yet, so Soleil is cooped up inside more than usual. Suddenly, I had to get more creative with our PE.

And we need PE. Girls need PE for so many reasons. Obviously, we all need physical activity to stay healthy and get our hearts pumping. Getting a good workout in also boosts endorphins, so it helps with moods. (and what mom couldn’t use a little help with that?) Staying active will also increase your daughter’s strength and help with her body image as she grows. I don’t know about you, but on days when I get a great workout, I just feel better and more comfortable with my body in general. I want my girls to feel that way, too!

A PE Flip Book

Our homeschool PE Flip Book

To avoid getting bored or burned out, I wanted to have a variety of ideas on hand for any given day. Enter my PE flip book.

I used an old, inexpensive flimsy photo album. The kind you get at the dollar store. In each photo slip, I placed an index card with an active activity on it. We go through the book day –by-day and do whatever the next card says.

Some PE activities included in the book

(For each activity, I also included a suggested time, such as 30 or 40 minutes)
Wii Fit
Wii Sports
Dance Dance revolution
More active Wii Games (great for rainy days)
Soccer at the park
Circuit workout. See more on this below.
Walk around the neighborhood
Go to park and practice gymnastics (we have a small park near our house)
Play Basketball
Boot Camp DVD
Coco Picks! They love this card, because then they can pick anything from the book that they want to do.
Soleil Picks!
Bike Ride
Go to racquetball courts
Learn and practice a dance scene from a movie. (Have you ever done this? So fun!)
Walk and play at a specific local park (this park is a bit further away and a treat to go to.)
Go to track and do a timed mile.
Go swimming.
30 Day Shred DVD. (Yep, my 7 year old does it, too. See below for how she uses weights.)
Go on a hike! (This one is not too often, as it requires more time and planning)
Go on a scooter ride
Timed workout to music. See more below.

Our Timed Workout to Music

On this card, I listed 10 old-school PE activities and 10 strength training activities. The “Teacher” for the day gets to lead, and we do about 30 seconds of a cardio move and then a set of a strength training move. We do the whole list a couple times through. Adding music makes it more fun!

Example:
30 seconds for each activity, unless a number of reps is included.
Jumping jacks
20 sit-ups
Windmills
10 push-ups
Ski Jumps
Bicycles
Cherry pickers
Butt kicks
15 lunges
High knees
15 squats
Jump ropes
20 reverse crunches
Twist
15 Side crunches
Grape vines
20 Leg lifts
Reach high
20 side leg lifts

Our Circuit Training Workout

Jillian would be so proud.

This one was inspired by Jillian Michaels!
First, I set up 3 stations.
1. A set of dumbbell weights and maybe a chair.
2. A yoga mat
3. Our treadmill. (If you don’t have a treadmill, bike, or elliptical trainer, then you can do some of the cardio moves listed above or even just jog in place for a minute.)

I have a number of workout books and magazines, so I just pick a few exercises for each station and make a list.

I go through and demonstrate the exercises if needed, and then we begin. We rotate every minute. The person on the treadmill is responsible for keeping track of the time.

We try to do three sets of each circuit, but we’ve yet to reach that goal. The closest we’ve come is three sets of the first three circuits and then one or two sets of the remaining ones.

If you have more or less kids, alter the number of stations and increase or decrease the number of sets you do.

An Example of what this might look like:
Circuit 1:
Weights: One armed row
Mat: Crunches
Treadmill: Jog for 1 minute.
Then we switch and do this one three times.
After the third time through, we’ll start the next circuit.

Circuit 2:
Weights: Bicep curl
Mat: Superman
Treadmill: Jog for one minute. (For the cardio station, we sometimes do jumping jacks or something similar, but we all prefer the treadmill.)
We rotate through this three times, and then move on again.

If you’re worried about my seven year old, don’t. We made her some “weights” with tinker toys. Classic.

My top Ten PE Tips

1. Keep it simple. Making it too complicated will up the chances that you give up altogether or make it miserable for everyone.

2. Keep it fun! No drill sergeant here, unless it’s part of the game. (Bootcamp anyone?)

3. Add Music. Music makes everything better, doesn’t it?

4. Join In. Unless you are physically unable, join in! It’s so much more fun for your kids, sets a great example, and gets you moving, too.

5. Switch it up. Don’t do the same thing, day after day. Besides the fact that it gets boring, and everyone will lose interest, your body will get used to a routine very quickly. Switch it up if you want a better workout!

6. Let your kids lead once in a while. Most kids love being in charge and bossing us moms around!

7. When you’re starting to get really uninspired, buy a new toy. A cool water bottle, yoga mat, or tank top always makes me more excited to get going. It works for kids, too.

8. Leave home once in a while for a longer activity. Breaking out of your routine and doing something special keeps it fresh and fun.

9. Learn sport skills. Even with only three of us at home doing PE, we’ve managed to play soccer, volleyball, and basketball. Of course they’re not complete games, but we can modify the sports and learn new skills while having fun.

10. Encourage competition. Against yourself, that is! We are always trying to improve our own times, do more, go longer, etc. A little healthy competition with yourself is a great motivator.

**These are just ideas I use in my home, I am not a professional. If you could see my thighs, you’d know that. Be sure to check with your doctor before starting any fitness program.
