The stickiest habits are bad habits.
We try to give our kids good habits and a strong foundation in the early years, but it is exhausting.
As they get older, we don’t see fruit from our habit training. In the name of good habits, we nag.
Habits are supposed to be the magic, but the habits that are strongest in us all are the bad ones.
Build good habits without nagging.
“The formation of habits is education and education is the formation of habits.”
– Charlotte Mason
A professional development day for homeschool moms.
from attendees
Habits make lifelong learners.
what we believe about HABITS –
1
HABITS REQUIRE REPETITION – LOTS OF IT.
We can’t install habits like we install an app. Building habits is like a tower built up brick by brick.
2
BAD HABITS ARE STRONGER THAN GOOD HABITS.
It’s always easier to be bad than good until those good habits are thoroughly entrenched – but sin is always crouching at the door.
3
HABITS SHAPE OUR DESIRES & AFFECTIONS.
The habits of your home & family – both good and bad – are the tug of normal in our hearts and minds.

Introducing
HOMESCHOOL ESSENTIALS:
HABIT
Our retreats are a unique blend of online conference, live podcast, and face-to-face community. We stream 4 live sessions with 3-4 10-15 minute conversational segments so the pace is upbeat, the conversation is personal, and the ideas don’t get too heady. We’re prepared, but we interact, so there’s no rambling but there’s also no extended-talking-head feel. If you join live, not only is there chat happening with attendees, but also Zoom breakout rooms available for you to discuss the practical applications with other homeschool moms. You’ll love how we’ve reimagined the online conference!

No. We’re not actually sisters.
Hi! We’re the Scholé Sisters.
Like you, we homeschool our children for better or for worse
We all have struggled feeling like our abilities did not match up to our vocation as a homeschool mom. We have hard and rough days that include yelling, huffy comments, and messy houses. We can cry about that (and sometimes we do). Or, we can laugh. We think we should choose laughter more often.
Homeschooling well can be an overwhelming and lonely task. We will give you practical help to make it less overwhelming and connect you with sisters who can relate to what you are going through and who will help you grow in love of God, your family, and wisdom as you do.
ATTENTION, PLEASE!
Here is what we cover…
#1
Habits: What are they?
Habits dictate a huge percentage of our actions, which makes them both essential and mysterious. In this session, Brandy, Mystie, and Abby will discuss how habits are integral to our entire homeschool atmosphere & curriculum and why bad habits are stronger than good ones.
#2
Habits: Why prioritize them?
Habits never come with a scope and sequence or curriculum guide, but they are the backbone of our home life and education. Brandy, Mystie, and Abby will share not only what research says about habits, but also the effects they’ve seen in their own homeschooled students and in their own lives.
#3
Habits: How to create them
The same principles can be applied in a variety of ways and rarely look the same across families. During this session Brandy, Mystie, and Abby will share what they have done, what has and has not worked, a habit-formation process and plan, and tips and tricks they’ve picked up over the years.
#4
Habits: What to build first and next?
Whether you need help narrowing down what to start with for preschoolers or how to change things up to keep it relevant with teens, Brandy, Mystie, and Abby will walk through the stages of education, spotlighting the best practices and priorities in each stage.
Homeschool Essentials: Habit
Mystie, Abby, & Brandy share what they’ve done at various points in their homeschools to grow not only their children’s attention, but also their own.
Plus, every session will have an application wrap-up segment where Abby will help you reflect on the material and be prepared and excited to apply it in your own home.
This is the teacher’s development day you need.
