Helping Teens Learn Productivity Skills, Interview with Melanie Wilson

Productivity skills do not come naturally to every single person, and that’s okay! That’s why there are organization experts among us to teach us creative hacks and to give us useful tips. One of these experts of productivity is Melanie Wilson from The Homeschool Sanity Podcast and Psycho With 6. Melanie can juggle flaming bowling pins in an organized structure if you let her. Learn some neat tips for helping teens learn productivity skills – and you can pick up a thing or two along the way as well!

About Melanie Wilson

Melanie is our wonderful friend from the Homeschool Sanity Podcast as well as Psycho With 6. She teaches workshops on organization skills for teens in a way that does not intimidate you. She has a gift of presenting information in a user-friendly way that can be applied towards several areas. 

Melanie is a psychologist who gave up her practice to become a homeschooling mom

She calls homeschooling her “most gratifying occupation ever.” Melanie has six children with three who have already graduated from homeschooling high school. The remaining three are still at home in their high school years.\.

As mentioned, she has a podcast and a blog, and she also writes books, such as the popular Grammar Galaxy language arts curriculum for elementary students. In addition to creating curriculums and books, Melanie is a public speaker as she does workshops, videos, and various types of activities that keep her busy, all on top of homeschooling her kids.

Now at this point, you may be thinking she has a full plate, but we are not done yet. That is not all Melanie does! She also loves playing tennis, playing pickleball with her husband and other couples, and she does scrapbooking with a friend on a regular basis. Of course, she also makes sure she has time for her family and her own personal development and reading time…

Some teens are automatically wired with productivity skills...some, not so much.

Tips For Helping Teens Learn Productivity Skills

You may have noticed this, even in your own teens perhaps, but some teens are automatically wired with organizational and productivity skills. Some teens are magnificent at analyzing situations and setting priorities with efficiency and productivity. 

However, many teens struggle in the productivity area. For these teens, the following organizational skills should help build productivity skills.

Make detailed lists of the things

Have your teens start making a detailed list of things that he needs to do on a regular basis. This will help them understand what is coming up and give them a sense of accomplishment when they have checked it off. 

But at the same time, it will help them stay organized in their mind, seeing the list of tasks they do on a regular basis serving as reminders for them. 

Understand there is more than one way to get things done

It is important to note that a lot of times as parents, we think there is only one way of getting work done – which is your way. But this is not true.

Teens who do notuse planners or lists can also get things done just like those who do use lists and organize details in planners. 

Meet your teen’s learning style and personal characteristics

As we all know, there’s not just ONE kind of teen. In fact, we could go as far as to say that not one single teen is the same! And this goes for their own set of characteristics too!

Understand your teen’s learning style so you can approach them with their own unique way towards productivity. For example, if your teen is a hands-on type of learner, you will teach him strategies for how to compensate for his style.

Help your teens notice how they are wired without them feeling judged

Teens can be sensitive or feel like they are being constantly judged at that age and stage of growth. Approach this by having a conversation with your teen about how you learned to do certain things as well as telling them some changes that have occurred in their particular productivity style. 

Give them examples of your own personal experiences

Give them examples of how you handled certain tasks lists while you were in college or how you did things when you first began working in high school. Let them understand that your own personal style has changed and adapted over time to your circumstances. 

This is a great way to open up the conversation because you are telling your teen that not only does your approach differ from the approach that will work best for them, but your approach has changed for you over time. And because of that, explain how you are constantly having to adjust to your new responsibilities and even a new season of life. 

Approach your child with an experimental mindset

Try to approach your child with an experimental mindset as it will give you a nonjudgmental attitude. By engaging your child in this way, you can offer them tips and tweaks on the things they’re currently doing. 

You can ask them questions, like:

“Have you thought of tweaking it this way?” Or,

“Have you ever tried another approach?” 

Notice how your teen responds to situations so you can help them with these tweaks. For example, if your teen likes the pressure of a deadline, let them know that, although there is nothing wrong with that, there are other approaches that can also help them get their work done in time. These approaches might not have so much stress attached to them. You could ask them to try one of these different methods and see how it feels for them afterward.

Try having genuine conversations about productivity

Try having genuine conversations

Stay curious about what as going on for them. Also, stay humble enough to offer what has worked for you without preaching to them. In this way you are inviting them into the process.

This will help your teen realize that they:

  • can grow
  • need to grow 
  • accept the fact that they are allowed to grow.

When you do this, you are letting your teens evaluate and come up with their own conclusion about what works and does not work for them.

About her book “A Year of Living Productively”

In 2013, Melanie had an idea that she could use her blog to help her become more productive. She learned that when she is accountable to other people, she becomes much more productive than if she is not. So she tried a different method for getting things done every week by writing about her results on her blog.

By doing this, she knew she could be consistent about blogging, even though she had no idea how many people were reading her blog (which turned out to be quite a few people!). But just the notion that one person was waiting for her and wondering where she was got her motivated. 

From this year-long process, after learning so much about the process, she started planning on writing a book at the end of that year. However, interestingly enough, when she attempted to write that book, she still had the wrong concepts in her head about getting things done. 

This spurred her on to discovering five-star methods of productivity!

Melanie’s book encourages other so find their own formulas for productivity

 A Year of Living Productively helps make this process a lot quicker by making a list of eighty different approaches – with full instructions – so that moms do not have to read the whole book to put the approach into practice.

With the book, she provides trackers for others to track their approaches and write them down so they can remember it.

Her book is personal and encouraging and feels like a big sister walking you through the approaches with tips along the way. It has a mentoring tone to the book with Melanie assisting with the approaches and then reminding you to look in the mirror and review what you did.

You can learn more about A Year of Living Productively here and connect with her at Psycho With Six and the Homeschool Sanity Podcast.

Handling Screen Time for Teens, Interview with Dr Melanie Wilson

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.

This week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Handling Screen Time for Teens, Interview with Dr Melanie Wilson.

Teens and Screen Time, Interview with Dr Melanie Wilson

Handling Screen Time for Teens, Interview with Dr Melanie Wilson

We are back with our dear friend and podcasting colleague, Melanie Wilson of Homeschool Sanity podcast. Melanie is a voice of wisdom and encouragement for the homeschool community for many years.

Melanie is a PhD psychologist who has homeschooled her six kids for over twenty years. Four of them have graduated from homeschool high school and gone on to college. Two are still homeschooling their high school years.

Along the way, Melanie became an expert at organizing (check out her interview with HSHSP about getting organized). She shares her organizational skills and tools with her Organized Homeschool Life Planner,Year of Living Productively, online classes for moms and podcast episodes. She often leads an organizational challenge on her podcast.

To top it all off, Melanie has designed an absolutely delightful grammar curriculum (can you imagine using the word “delightful” about grammar?). Her Grammar Galaxy curriculum teaches grammar skills for elementary and middle schoolers in narrative adventure format!

Today, Melanie is sharing with us about screen time for teens

Besides having teens of her own, Melanie has found that moms have been asking her how to handle screen time for their teens. Therefore, she has been working on getting some thoughts together as helpful guidelines for moms.

When Melanie was a young mom, she (like Vicki and many of us) was determined to protect her kids from every negative influence in the whole world. That way their lives would be safe and anxiety free. (Melanie and Vicki had some hearty laughs over those memories.)

In the early days of parenting, she did not allow her kids to have screen time. However, she and her husband caved to the pressure to allow their children to play video games. She found that there were positives and stressors about this first venture into screens.

Melanie noticed that technology is always changing and thus, there were always new things for her kids to want or need. She was constantly needing to weigh the costs and benefits of various screen times for her kids.

Here are some things about handling screen time that Melanie has learned:

When you have six teens, you have lots of opportunities to find out what works!

Enforcing a lot of rules about technology is energy draining.

Melanie has always said, “Relationship before rules.” Thus, too many rules can interfere with good relationships.

Try not to work harder than your teens to manage their time.

In other words, teach teens good time management skills. This does not mean we are totally hands off when monitoring time and screens. However, a teen who has shown some maturity can monitor their screen and time usage well.

  • The closer teens come to graduating from high school, the more you need to transfer the management of their time and habits to them.
  • This way they can learn by doing, and be better prepared for adulting.

The closer teens come to graduating from high school, the more you need to transfer the management of their time and habits to them.- Melanie Wilson

Let go of the idea that you can protect your teens from every evil influence.

  • In the complexities of the digital world, complete protection of your teens is not possible.
    • Instead, turn to God and trust Him with their safety.
    • Then discuss with your teens that it is their own responsibility to keep themselves safe. Also, discuss internet safety skills and safety skills, in general.
  • One of Melanie’s sons told her that the likelihood of your teens at some point accidentally seeing some pornography on their screens is one-hundred percent. It just happens.
    • You want your kids to be able to talk to you about it when it happens.
    • Therefore, you cannot protect them one-hundred percent, so you must educate them instead.

Melanie spoke about sexuality with each of her children when they were ready.

  • She told them that sex is a beautiful thing when it is within the context of marriage and is private.
  • Making sex public destroys its beauty. She explains that there are some people who want to take sex out of the context of marriage and privacy and make it public.
  • She explains to her kids that when they run into those images during screen time, the do not keep looking at those images.

She also explains to her kids that these pornographic images are as addictive as drugs.

Pornography addicts have more trouble with sexual relationships with their real-life marriage partner.

  • For that reason, Melanie coaches her teens to discontinue looking at any pornographic images when they inadvertently run across them.

Handling screen time for teens and the evil in this world

Melanie also has real discussions with her teens about the evil in this world. She explains that most people do not want to lure them away from safety and abduct them. However, there a few very dangerous people who spend time on line with the purpose of luring young people away from home for evil purposes.

While we homeschoolers have mostly had safe and secure lives, the downside can be a naivety about the fact that there are evildoers in the world. Therefore, our teens need to know that they should not give personal information to people they meet online- gender, age, location, etc. Melanie does have rules about giving personal information to anyone in the digital sphere. However, she knows the most important thing is not the rule but her teens’ buy-in.

Handling screen time for teens and health

Melanie has discussions with her teens about the simple addictiveness of being on screens. (Even we parents have to watch out about how addictive screens are to us.) They need to know that the media and games to which they are exposed is designed to keep them on their screens.

  • In other words, the game designers and media producers take advantage of their understanding our human psychology to keep people gaming or watching. Therefore, feeling stuck on their screens does not show bad character on your teens’ part. Teens need to know that- that this is just a modern-day challenge for all Americans.

Also important to their health is screen time at night time. Teens sometimes need to be reminded of the importance of sleep for health and learning. Help them with their time management and goal setting. (Their health curriculum will address this also.)

Remember to keep discussions relational and non-judgmental!

Check out Melanie’s blogpost about teens and screen time for discussion and resources.

Discussing Dating with Homeschool Teens, Interview with Melanie Wilson

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.

This week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Discussing Dating with Homeschool Teens, Interview with Melanie Wilson.

Discussing Dating with Homeschool Teens, Interview with Melanie Wilson

Discussing Dating with Homeschool Teens, Interview with Melanie Wilson

We are excited to have our friend, Dr. Melanie Wilson from Homeschool Sanity Podcast, join us for a discussion on a challenging subject: Dating!

As most of you know, Melanie is a “psychologist turned homeschool mom of six”. (In fact, that is the name of her website: Psychowithsix.com.) Because Melanie has training in psychology, homeschools and has LOTS of kids, we thought she would be a wonderful resource for discussing dating.

The history of homeschooling and dating

Dating can be a touchy subject (no pun intended) in the homeschool community. Back in the early days of homeschooling, courtship had become a popular idea. (If you are not familiar with that movement, parents chose a spouse for their young person. Then the two were allowed to “court” to get to know each other- always under parental supervision until the wedding day.) Some folks from that generation may remember the popular book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye (now debunked by the author, Joshua Harris).

In those days 7Sisters Vicki and Marilyn were in leadership in their local homeschool organization so created quite the stirs when they shared concerns about the wisdom and emotional health of courtship models of relationships. They proposed, instead, that teens should be raised to develop self-government, wisdom and relationship skills so that they could make good marriage decisions for themselves.

Melanie understands the problems with dating in our modern culture, so she understands where courting came from. (Not only that, but courtship was an “old-fashioned idea” and “old-fashioned” was hip in those days.) However, Melanie points out that the problem she has seen with her clients are often in “casual dating or sexual dating” situations. Melanie also remembers a young man that she knew who attempted suicide when his girlfriend ended their relationship. The heartbreak was too difficult for him.

Melanie’s suggestions for dating

Melanie’s oldest homeschoolers came into their teen years with a mom who was leaning towards the “safety” of well-supervised relationships, if not following the courtship model. She was hoping she could keep her teens from experiencing broken hearts, unwanted pregnancies or sexually-transmitted diseases in this way.

However, God gave her an oldest son who was a strong-willed young man. Her desires for dating had to be set aside when dealing with such a strong-willed young man. That is because he wanted to date…and he was persistent!

Taking into consideration the current pressures of dating and the overreactions of the homeschool community in the past, Melanie has some suggestions that have been working for her family:

  • Discuss dating with your homeschool high schoolers
  • Advise them not to date unless they want to have a serious relationship (no “playing the field”)
  • If they have someone they would like to date, ask them to explain what that means to them and what they will do to protect and respect the person they are dating.
    • This is because it is the teen’s responsibility to make healthy choices.
  • Then it is the parent’s responsibility to present the pros and cons of dating at that particular time.
    • In other words, the parent becomes an educator about dating.

The next opportunity that Melanie had the opportunity to deal with, was her next son met someone at his high school job. He came to her and asked her permission to ask a girl at work out on a date.

  • She said, “Absolutely!” That is because Melanie had observed her son’s maturity and wisdom.

Have open and frank discussions about sex and safety with all your teens (male and female).

Lastly and most importantly, before and after discussing dating with your homeschool teens:

The number one key to discussing dating with homeschool teens is relationship between mom and teen

The relationship with your homeschoolers are foundational for helping them prepare for dating or managing dating situations.

  • For teens who do make a mistake, teach them about forgiveness (and model forgiveness yourself). Never let them think about you as being the one that says, “I’m SO disappointed with you!” Let them know you will ALWAYS love them.
  • Teens who feel loved by their parents and who have nonjudgemental communication with their parents are the ones who will talk to their parents about the pros and cons, ups and downs of dating. Therefore, spend LOTS of time discussing dating with your homeschool teens.

HSHSP Ep 152: How to Get Your Homeschool High School Organized, Interview with Melanie Wilson

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.
March 12, 2019 by 2 Comments

This week on HSHSP Ep 152: How to Get Your Homeschool High School Organized, Interview with Melanie Wilson.

How to Get Your Homeschool High School Organized, Interview with Melanie Wilson. Equip your teens with life-organization skills to build their confidence and experience success.

HSHSP Ep 152: How to Get Your Homeschool High School Organized, Interview with Melanie Wilson

We were so excited to have this interview with Melanie Wilson of the Homeschool Sanity Podcast. Melanie is an old homeschool friend of ours so we LOVE hanging out together, whether in person at the 2:1 Conference or digitally. We’re so blessed to be able to share her wisdom about organization with all our HSHSP friends!

Dr. Melanie Wilson of Homeschool Sanity Podcast, PsychoWith6.com, and A Year of Living Productively

Dr. Melanie Wilson, photo used with permission

We love to visual Melanie juggling flaming bowling balls… not really, but she is the queen of organizing many things:

Melanie takes seriously the task of balancing self-care, time with husband, time with family, professional life and fun. She’s noticed that what works for her, must be adapted to the skills, needs and gifts of each of her teens.

How do you help teens find an organizational style?

Start with a conversation. Explain how you have discovered your style and how your approach has changed over time.

Emphasize the flexibility to adjust to various situations.

Approach them with an experimental, non-judgmental attitude. Help them become their own scientists: treat themselves like an experimental subject:

  • Note their natural approach to getting projects done. Ask how it works for them? (Does it work well? Is it not going well?)
  • Help the brainstorm approaches to try.
  • Guide them through concluding whether each approach works or not.
  • Decide on the best approach.

Melanie’s book, A Year of Living Productively, takes the same process for moms: Make yourself a scientist, experiment with approaches to organization and notice what works and what doesn’t. Her book contains 80 different task approaches to try…because she knows there’s not ONE right way to get your homeschool high school organized.

One of the lovely things about the book is that teens can download the forms and put them in their portfolios. Moms will love the tracking forms for themselves.

Download A Year of Living Productively for yourself and your homeschool high schoolers and have a better-organized life. Give a copy to your teens and highlight these chapters that Melanie has found effective for teens:

Student Approaches

  • Deadlines
  • Start Early
  • Eat That Frog
  • Scheduling
  • Little & Often
  • Focus & Relief
  • Adequate Sleep
  • Exercise
  • Sacred Time
  • Change the Work Environment
  • See Also ADD/ADHD/Easily Distracted

Melanie’s #1 piece of advice for homeschool moms and teens:

For a happy, healthy homeschool life: Learn and implement the skills of boundary setting and focusing your attention on who and what is important in your life.

Depression and the Homeschooling Mom – HIRL Episode 60

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.
July 20, 2015 by 4 Comments

Free podcast dealing with the issue of depression and homeschooling momsAs homeschooling moms, some subjects are very difficult to talk about, especially if we are feeling pressure to put on a facade that our lives are polished and life at home is picture-perfect. Struggling with depression in the homeschooling community can very quickly lead to shame and loneliness. Let’s face it folks, the pressure to have everything all together can make the struggle that much more difficult and the Christian homeschooling world does not always create a safe environment to be real and transparent.

On this episode of HomeschoolingIRL, we dive into another difficult discussion about depression among homeschooling moms. Joining us is Dr. Melanie Wilson, a Christian psychologist and homeschooling mom of 6. Together we discuss the signs of depression, how to find help for yourself and how you can minister to other struggling moms.

This is another tough topic and another chance for you as a listener to let us have the conversation first. But please, don’t let it stop there, if you are a mom (or dad) struggling with depression, please reach out and let us point you in the direction to find some help for you.

Do you have more curriculum than you can possibly use? Are you always running? Do you struggle to find time to clean? If so, you and I can relate.

Maybe you can relate to this aspect of me, too: I try to do it all myself. We don’t have time for a lengthy psychoanalysis of why that’s the case, so let’s just discuss the solution.

As a chronic DIYer, one of my favorite biblical accounts is from Exodus 18:13-18:

The next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they stood around him from morning till evening. When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he said, “What is this you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?” Moses answered him, “Because the people come to me to seek God’s will. Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God’s decrees and instructions.” Moses’ father-in-law replied, “What you are doing is not good. You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone. 19 Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you.

Moses was doing it the hard way. But fortunately, he was the most humble man on earth (Numbers 12:3) and accepted wise counsel. If you’re like Moses and have too much to do, you also need:

the power of God, wise counsel, and an orderly plan.

I can’t give you the power of God, but I can remind you to go to Him every day for the strength and wisdom you need. Through The Homeschool Sanity Show podcast and Psychowith6, I seek to provide you with the wise counsel and the orderly plan you need to get organized. The show titled How to Organize Your Homeschool the Easy Way is a great place to start. Other Ultimate Homeschool Radio Network hosts share great tips with the Homeschool Sanity Show listeners. I also describe a year-long series on Psychowith6 that provides the plan you need. Every week, we organize a new part of your homeschooling life. You no longer have to be overwhelmed by all you have to do!

I hope you’ll join me for the 52-Week Organized Homeschool Challenge and for every episode of The Homeschool Sanity Show by subscribing. Because we can’t handle it alone!
