Do You Really Not Have Enough Time? Reframing the Words Our Kids Hear Ep. 145

Have you ever caught yourself saying:“I don't have enough time.”

“We're too busy.”

“I don't have what I need.”

“I should be doing more.”

I have, and recently, I started realizing just how often those words were coming out of my mouth.

After last week's conversation about shifting our mindset around money, I started thinking about abundance in a completely different way. Maybe I don't have a scarcity mindset around money…but I realized I was carrying one around time.

And our kids are listening.

In Episode 145 of the Home Education with Ease Podcast, I'm sharing what God has been teaching me about time, resources, generosity, and stewardship. And how I'm intentionally changing the words I use around my kids.

We don't need unlimited time, money, curriculum, activities, or resources to give our children a meaningful education or create a meaningful life.

Sometimes we need to stop searching for the next thing and recognize what God has already placed in our hands.

We'll talk about how to reframe scarcity language, why our children are learning from the way we talk about time and resources, how to become better stewards of what we've already been given, and why one simple resource, like a book, can create countless meaningful learning opportunities.

I'm also challenging you this week to notice the words don't, can't, won't, shouldn't, and don't have enough.
