S2/E8 - KONOS Value (Social Study Subjects)

The Oikos Family Podcast - A podcast by Sonja Wood - Fridays

Transcript:Hi there, welcome to episode 8 / season 2 of the OIKOS Family Podcast.If you’ve been listening to the previous podcasts you will know that the focus has been to try find ways to bring value to you on your home educating journey.Well I could do multiple podcasts (and maybe I will just) on the value of KONOS.I have been thinking about it sooo much these past few years in that it is a resources for parents which can save them so so much and yet give such rich value. Just think about it, a resource which offers ALL the social study subjects, history, geography, …… for all the children in the family (and the parents) it is really quite incredible that with the 3 volumes of KONOS a family has such immense value with regard to rich education but even more than this is the fact that the focus throughout the KONOS living experience is character training and development.The other day I was chatting with our adult son and we were discussing how often we are experiencing missing virtues in society today. He was expressing how absent basic characteristics seemed to be. We went on to reminisce over how much I valued having KONOS as a ‘parent tool’ to aid me in keeping focus and direction on the importance of character training and how much that is now assisting them in their lives now as adults.This was just one of many conversations that we have had about the gift of KONOS, not only because of what I’ve just mentioned but also the many happy hours of learning while playing and doing which all built characteristics that at the time we did not realize the priceless value they would be later in life. Not only priceless but so necessary too.So due to me doing the deep dive while looking for ways to share value with you I cannot leave KONOS out - I simply must share this with you - not only the incredible monetary value but also the priceless MORE that is found in these parent tools, the KONOS manuals.I am very glad that we have produced a KONOS workshop series because a podcast simply does not do this topic justice but even so I wud like to keep sharing with you on this matter because I believe so whole heartedly in its value.Thank you for listening / I appreciate your time and hope to bring you more findings from my deep dives.Bye for now––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Website: https://www.oikosfamily.co.zaPatreon: https://patreon.com/oikosYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/oikosfamily/Facebook: @oikosfamilyministriesInstagram: @oikoslifestyle This is a public episode.
