Good video. I will be watching Urban farmer more often.
Stoked to find your channel!
Curtis, you will find with homeschool that we've been sold a bill of goods about socialization. Kids are not limited to socializing with someone who is within one year of their birthday. In fact, that model of "socialization" has only been around for about 80 years. Throughout all of human history, children socialized with a "column" of people from birth to death. They spend their infancy in grandmother or granddad's lap. They were taught by mom and dad, or even by older brothers or sisters. They actually spent very little time in the company of someone within a year of their own age, unless they happened to be less than a year distant from a sibling, or had a twin. The freakish, abnormal way to live is socializing with someone your same age. That rarely happened in human history, and our ancestors were not social idiots.
Your child will learn to socialize from you and your wife, from other adults and other children in the family, from other adults and children in the neighborhood, in the library group, in the homeschool co op, in swimming lessons, etc. I have a child a year old than Jack, and like Jack, she is busy, social, self directed and happy. Unlike Jack, she doesn't have many friends her age. She tends to like either much older or much younger kids, and that is okay. She's content. She has friends. She is leading, motivating and teaching younger kids, as she is taught and guided by a select group of steller teens. She volunteers in the nursery at church, taking care of babies and toddlers. She volunteers in an after school program, tutoring kindergartners. She is not limited to only getting along with one age group.
Meantime, like Jack, my child is becoming capable. She sews, knits, cooks, bakes, gardens and reads. She is reading in three languages, and about to pick up a fourth. She is equipped to move into the world. Look at Jack. He's going to move into the work world without a hiccup. Cody is going to have him so well trained that he'll be equipped to lead a work gang, not start at the bottom and definitely not standing on the sidelines staring at a phone. He is thirteen, and he is already becoming a man.
Found your channel from you being on Wranglerstar
I would be careful about the parenting advice. Mr.Wranglerstar is a little rough with jack and when they are together Jack seems sheepish and almost afraid. He is a good person but in the bridge series, he is unnecessarily mean.
really enjoyed this video insight into your lives and homesteading. Definitely subbed to him too
Came over after your appearance on the Wranglerstar channel. I look forward to learning about how I can have a garden again with my super busy life!
Christian Trump supporters… unschooling sounds about right
the term "unschool" has been totally mis-interpreted. John Holt coined the phrase, I recommend you read his books! It means "to educate, but not like school" some try to call what they do 'eclectic homeschooling' picking what materials that meet the unique needs of each of their children… Every child learns differently.
As far as language, speech and reading… giving your child a rich environment is vital. Speak regular language do them (never baby talk) use descriptive words, 'the rough red brick' or "see the smooth white painted fence' and so forth. fluffy white cotton, course green grass, fill your language with adjectives and adverbs.
Babies can learn to read naturally very young. being exposed to the written words, associated with the spoken words and that have essential meaning helps wire the brain to build its reading, seeing and speaking centers close by. When the written words are not exposed to young children until age 5 or 6, the brain can put the written word very far away from the visual and auditory centers and this creates 'dyslexic' processing because the pathways of input and output for reading takes longer to form strong pathways for successful reading.
My parents taught me how to read at age 3 using the McGuffey Readers, but developmentally was not appropriate for my age… but they were consistent and by age 8 or 9 I was reading 12th grade level. Young children, infants, toddlers are WIRED to learn, they want stimulation for learning more than they want to eat. AND they will eventually eat when they are hungry.
We homeschooled our children. I look forward and hope and pray our children will want to also homeschool… the garbage going on in public education (and this same garbage is filtering into private schools, because private school typically purchase the SAME curriculum these days)
Congratulations on the journey of being a parent, there is no harder yet rewarding work in life than that of being a parent!
Wranglestar Homesteadingย (No Chickens, No Cows,ย No sheep, No goats, No bees, very little or no Farming, No off grid, and More… And This is Home standing?)ย Totally Bogus.
I came to you from the Wranglerstars. I watched the video on their channel that you were in and then came over and watched your video with them in it. I look forward to your future videos and slowly catching up on your videos.
Glad see you here. Always like your shows.
Thats weird, I say I want to move away from people, or I hate people but I also love meeting people and socializing and hearing their stories.. I don't kniw what that is it seems the Wranglerstars are the same way
Awesome. Two of my favorite YouTube creators in one place. Great points were brought out in this video. Thanks for all you do. Blessings, Jim
It's too bad land in the okanagan costs so much. Good news is the next generation wanes to rent it not own it.
Happy Wife, Happy Life, but if you notice, Happy Husband does rhythm with anything. LOL
best crossover episode :}
Very well done interview – real people * talking about real issues * in real life. Thank you.
Aww, you were in my neck of the woods. Well, they're a bit East of me, but Pacific Northwest!
I appreciate the topic of 'appropriate technology'. Irrigation planning and installation for gardens is a challenge I need to face. right now I am dragging buckets and hoses.
Their woodworking is amazing love their channel
Another guy I watch! Growing your greens, Wranglerstar, who else do you know that I watch?? Good job Curtis!!
P.S…I do watch your channel the most. ๐
This is a great vid my 2 most respected you tubers in one spot ! Thanks Curtis
You take your kids with you to work, if you are in agriculture! I was lucky enough to be on a large ranch, If my boys weren't in school, they were with me, working. They learned how to work and what it was. WE played as we worked. We might take fishing poles, we always had firearms, we might take off and go skinny dipping? When they were in diapers they learned to drive a pickup as I fed cattle.
I gradually grew into my own little spot, and I can take the little grandkids along to do the same. Just not so much of a grand scale. You speak of family time, which is important. Quality time is just as much so!
"when the tide goes out you see who's swimming naked" I've never heard that one! love it! Of course we all know and love the Wranglestars ๐
This is a great video. Love the Wranglerstar channel. Thanks.
Almost sounds like some people getting back to roots in America. It's needed. The Bible and productive lives.
Very inspiring discussion, fans of all of you, great content.
