Action4Canada - Homeschooling & Dads

00:00:00.000 here to do other things and which we'll get into shortly here as well um

00:00:05.440 how can dads be involved duane if you want to speak into that what's what how do you find your

00:00:13.880 role in your homeschool well um i think the first thing that comes to mind is that there

00:00:22.440 it's a heavy burden to be the parent who um initiates and sits with and walks through the

00:00:32.180 step-by-step of doing the uh going through the resource that you're doing with each child each

00:00:38.360 day which most of the time is jaleen and um there are times where where she just gets burnt out like

00:00:45.620 there could be pushback from the kids like they don't want to do it today or they're struggling

00:00:50.200 with something in math, or, you know, oh, do I have to do seven pages? I always only do four

00:00:56.700 pages. Why do I have to do seven? And so you can see why God made it such that you need,

00:01:03.600 that it's ideal to have a wife and a husband, a mother and a father, because there are times where

00:01:11.520 you need that backup voice. You need that kind of voice of authority where

00:01:16.140 i think god has gifted dads with just um sort of an authoritative role where when when we step in

00:01:24.840 and say like um if your mom says you're doing seven pages it's seven pages so quit your belly

00:01:30.660 aching and let's get to it sometimes like that's my role is to just come in and support and keep

00:01:36.920 keep keep them focused keep the wheels moving keep us going forward um and then there can be

00:01:44.000 times where there's just like you know because of that that sort of reluctance to actually do the

00:01:52.020 work there can be behavior stuff that crops up and they're just so almost looking for like a

00:01:58.980 negative attention outlet where they'll try to push mom's buttons because anything but doing

00:02:04.420 school even if that means getting in a fight with mom and so it can be really helpful to

00:02:08.000 to have dad there to say like that's my wife don't talk to her like that get back to work

00:02:14.920 kind of thing so it can be helpful to have that second voice there

00:02:19.120 to be the disciplinarian and to keep things focused
