We always want to see our kids reach an appropriately healthy amount of independence as they move into adulthood, but for those of us with special needs kids, this process can be more challenging and time-consuming than we may have anticipated.
In the last episode, Peggy Ployhar joined me to discuss ways to engage our autistic kids in learning. Today she will share what she believes is important in helping our autistic young adults move toward more independence.

As our country wrestles with darkness, fear, and division, is it possible that the overwhelming sense of hopelessness many of us feel is misplaced? Could it be that the belief that America’s cultural and spiritual decline is inevitable is a misplaced fear?

Homeschooling can feel very lonely at times and even though we get to decide what our daily rhythms look like, I don’t know that we always prioritize friendships for ourselves as homeschooling moms. Today Christy Faith and I will address the unique friendship challenges that come with being homeschooling moms and talk about ways we can make sure that we are making the healthy connections that we need.

With the effects of a sinful culture bearing down, conversations we could put off before now need to happen at earlier ages. The question is how do we combat the culture’s lies without taking away the innocence of our children? Today Elizabeth Urbanowicz from Foundation Worldview is here to give us some ideas of what that might look like to teach our little ones about God's good design for them!
We will cover questions like:
-
Most Christian resources about gender and sexuality focus on teens. However, you recommend parents start talking about these issues with children as young as the age of four. Can you explain why you recommend starting at such a young age and how you would advise parents to approach such conversations?
-
Many parents will try to shelter their kids from these issues. Is that the best approach? Why or why not?
-
How does your curriculum help parents and caregivers tackle this topic with their children?
-
Walk us through a lesson. What is the format? And how will children be learning?
