Black Families Do Home School: Madison WI

How do you teach your child about gratitude? What resources or practices do you use?

Even if you don't homeschool, there isn't a class for emotional intelligence(EI). Gratitude is a component of EI that helps develop self-awareness, empathy, better relationships, and overall well-being.

Check out these resources for an idea of what this could look like. Many of these things you may already do at home.

First trip out of the country to Belize for my daughter and I. Taught us anti-blackness extends beyond US and how I MAY experience it in other countries. However there was still a strong sense of self that radiated from others we connected with.

-They were empathetic to everyone while setting energetic+ boundaries for the willfully ignorant.

-It taught us gratitude. Other places value possessions less yet are rich in love and connection.

-A strong concept of I am, AND where I come from.

- and that what we call “work” can be and bring joy, can be a calling, a life purpose. Where your gifts are on display THROUGH, not in sole service TO…..

We can teach our babies meaningful life skills through travel

Hi Everyone,

I hope to home school this upcoming year and the entire process is uncharted territory for me and I realized this may be the case for other families. So I am creating this page with the hopes it will help those in the Black community here in Madison. This space is for those in our community and those who can support your vision of how you want your child to be educated.

With Love
