“I think as homeschool moms, we can think, oh, the best years are behind us. As Christians, I think every year gets to be the best year of our life as we pursue God and see what he's doing and rest in his sovereignty and continue to expand our understanding of hope that we have of salvation and his redemption." ~ Rachael Carman

Discussion Questions:
1. How can homeschool parents avoid thinking the "best years are behind them" once their children graduate? What perspective should they have instead?
2. Why is it important for parents to acknowledge that new experiences can be hard or scary for children, even if the parents have grown past those fears themselves?
3. How can parents help prepare their children throughout life for transitions and changes, framing them as "new adventures" where they can trust God is already present?
4. What are some ways parents can be a "safe person" for their adult children to express their fears and uncertainties to, especially around graduation time when the future feels unknown?
5. How can parents avoid making their graduated children feel ashamed if they don't know what they want to do next in life? What perspective and support can they provide instead?
6. Why is it important for parents to have trusted friends and mentors they can go to for support and advice as they navigate their children transitioning to adulthood?
7. How can parents manage their own fears about their children's futures and the decisions they will make as adults? What spiritual practices can help with this?
8. In what ways can parents celebrate and praise their adult children's good choices and accomplishments, making much of how God is working in their lives?
9. How does establishing a strong, open relationship with children from a young age set the stage for them to feel safe coming to their parents in adulthood?
10. What lessons can parents take from the Psalms about honestly expressing their fears and worries to God, while ultimately placing their trust in His sovereignty?

Rachael Carman had it going on—or so she thought. After surviving sixty-three months of pregnancy, countless sleepless nights, and 35,000+ diapers, this one-time control freak encountered God’s grace. And she encourages you to do the same! 
In her books How Many Times Do I Have to Tell You? and How to Have a HEART for Your Kids, Rachael challenges mothers to surrender their will and draw closer to their heavenly Father. She invites moms to join her in loving God passionately and worshiping him fully while sweeping up Cheerios, doing laundry, and planning dinner. You will be affirmed in your role as a mother as Rachael speaks of her struggles with perfectionism and impatience and shares her challenges, failures, and victories amid the ever-changing seasons of life. Her honesty will surprise you, and her humor will put you at ease. 
Rachael is not only a respected author but is also a sought-after speaker. She has been a speaker in over thirty states and seven countries. 
She has been married to her husband, Davis, since 1986. They have seven kids with whom they love to laugh. Together, their life has been a roller-coaster ride, with God at the controls. Rachael enjoys playing in the dirt, eating dark chocolate, and walking on the beach. She and Davis are the owners of Apologia Educational Ministries.

Rachael Carman joins Yvette Hampton on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast to discuss perspective and to give practical advice on how to gain Godly perspective when so much in your world is unclear.
As you consider how to go forward in your homeschooling journey, where are you standing? Are you on the field or in the stands or in the blimp? It matters. What is obstructing your view? Who’s on your team? Where is the finish line? How can you best proceed? Why are you where you are? It’s difficult to answer any of these questions in the heat of the battle. It’s important to take inventory, to step back, to step away. Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards, to go down to go up, to go left to go right. What if there’s a place to stand so that you can really see?

As you consider how to go forward in your homeschooling journey, where are you standing? Are you on the field or in the stands or in the blimp? It matters. What is obstructing your view? Who’s on your team? Where is the finish line? How can you best proceed? Why are you where you are? It’s difficult to answer any of these questions in the heat of the battle. It’s important to take inventory, to step back, to step away. Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards, to go down to go up, to go left to go right. What if there’s a place to stand so that you can really see?

Rachael Carman had it going on—or so she thought. After surviving sixty-three months of pregnancy, countless sleepless nights, and 35,000+ diapers, this one-time control freak encountered God’s grace. And she encourages you to do the same! 
In her books How Many Times Do I Have to Tell You? and How to Have a HEART for Your Kids, Rachael challenges mothers to surrender their will and draw closer to their heavenly Father. She invites moms to join her in loving God passionately and worshiping him fully while sweeping up Cheerios, doing laundry, and planning dinner. You will be affirmed in your role as a mother as Rachael speaks of her struggles with perfectionism and impatience and shares her challenges, failures, and victories amid the ever-changing seasons of life. Her honesty will surprise you, and her humor will put you at ease. 
She has been married to her husband, Davis, since 1986. They have seven kids with whom they love to laugh. Together, their life has been a roller-coaster ride, with God at the controls. Rachael enjoys playing in the dirt, eating dark chocolate, and walking on the beach. She and Davis are the owners of Apologia Educational Ministries.

Rachael Carman had it going on—or so she thought. After surviving sixty-three months of pregnancy, countless sleepless nights, and 35,000+ diapers, this one-time control freak encountered God’s grace. And she encourages you to do the same! 
In her books How Many Times Do I Have to Tell You? and How to Have a HEART for Your Kids, Rachael challenges mothers to surrender their will and draw closer to their heavenly Father. She invites moms to join her in loving God passionately and worshiping him fully while sweeping up Cheerios, doing laundry, and planning dinner. You will be affirmed in your role as a mother as Rachael speaks of her struggles with perfectionism and impatience and shares her challenges, failures, and victories amid the ever-changing seasons of life. Her honesty will surprise you, and her humor will put you at ease. 
Rachael is not only a respected author but is also a sought-after speaker. She has been a speaker in over thirty states and seven countries. 
She has been married to her husband, Davis, since 1986. They have seven kids with whom they love to laugh. Together, their life has been a roller-coaster ride, with God at the controls. Rachael enjoys playing in the dirt, eating dark chocolate, and walking on the beach. She and Davis are the owners of Apologia Educational Ministries.
