You won’t always be here.

They won’t always be here.

The time you have together won’t always be here.

While it’s here, be here.

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

Had one of my coaches give me the best compliment.

It’s the only compliment I can think of that I will happily accept.

“The best thing about you is your kids”.

Couldn’t agree more.

While I can’t take all the credit for them, they are the best part of me, bar none.

Hey everyone, please don’t forget:

School is needed for socialization!

That’s why we see so many well adjusted adults who are great communicators, have internal peace, and easily collaborate with others.

Imagine what would happen if school didn’t provide those things! 😉

Do you have questions?

Homeschooling.
Finding the right micro-school.
Starting your own school.
Mentorship for your family.

Let’s do a Q&A.

No agenda. No pitch. Just answering your pressing questions.

MIT courses for free.
Harvard courses for free.
Every great book is free.

The gatekeepers are gone.

The only variables are your willingness to pick a community to join and how you and each member of the family maintain personal motivation.

It’s all yours if you want it.

Micro school founders:

Low enrollment is almost never the market, the economy, or “bad timing.”

It’s a founder problem or a boundaries problem.

Believe in your mission, & hold lines.

Clear standards attract committed families. Comfort zones don’t.

Own it. Tighten up. Build.

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

When did everything become “shaming” if you talk about people who hold any type of a standard?

My family and I value discipline, excellence, manners, work ethic, and personal responsibility.

Please stop “high standard shaming” us by asking us to lower the bar.

Weird trend.

Some Rhode Island folks pushing a dangerous bill:

Parents must PROVE their innocence & “competency” to homeschool their own children, or gov’t schools can block it if they decide it’s “not in the best interest of the child.”

Parental rights are not up for debate.

Kill H8531.

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

Parents: Sometimes what our kids say isn’t what they actually mean.

“I can’t” = I’m afraid.
“I’m not sure” = I’m afraid.
“I don’t want to” = I’m afraid.

Listen past the words. Fear is often hiding behind the resistance.

Name it, normalize it, & help them move through it.

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

@StarkeyBoy_ Correct. Typos happen.

My 10 year old son will workout all day and night.

He tells stories that go for 5 minutes straight without seemingly taking a breath.

Sun up to sun down, it’s pure energy. It’s like he’s fueled by a power plant.

I can’t imagine medicating those superpowers away.

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

@treehousekeeper You use those resources for yourself? Impressive!

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

Parents- what math are you currently taking and testing on?

Not for the kids. For you.

What curriculum are you using for language arts?

Again- for your own growth.

Not a fake question.

Think about your answers here. The differences and similarities.

What do you find?

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

@andraaugust18 Appreciate you! Would the answer to the question seem simpler if it was just about young people?

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

I’ve spoken on hundreds of stages & worked with thousands of families.

I’ve participated in countless live events.

Nothing I’ve ever experienced compresses the timeline for a man to become a more effective husband & father like a Catalyst event.

June 26 & 27.

You in?

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

@TheRootedNomad @flowidealism Preaching to the choir on that one.

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

Inspired by a post by my friend, @flowidealism, I started thinking about the “rebel without a cause” idiom.

This can very much be a phase that some young people go through, but I don’t believe it ever has to be.

The answer is in the phrase, itself.

Give young people a cause.

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

@flowidealism Amen

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

IMO- asking “spouse or kids?” is the wrong frame.

A strong marriage isn’t competing with the kids. It’s the environment they grow up in & a model they copy.

Strong marriages don’t just raise healthier kids; they raise future healthy marriages.

Invest in them both, constantly.

[Matt Beaudreau @MattBeaudreau]

There’s no manual for raising kids, but there is a common sense way to lead.

Be kind to others.
Work with focus and intention.
Avoid needless distractions.
Stay physically capable and healthy.
Create more than you consume.

Let them see you and join you in doing these things.
