🧠 The Highly Distracted Homeschool Mom
As homeschool moms, we have a lot vying for our attention, and it’s easy to feel pulled in every direction. This session covers practical, everyday strategies to manage your homeschool and other daily tasks, and to focus and be more productive, whether you’re a homeschool mom with ADHD or just struggle with organization and staying on task.
🔑 Helping Your Forgetful Learner
Do you have a child who would lose their head if it wasn’t attached? Students who misplace books, forget assignments or struggle to memorize facts? You’re not alone. This workshop shares practical tips to encourage and equip forgetful learners, not just to survive the school years but to be set up for success in the future.
✨ Homeschooling in Light of Eternity
Homeschooling can easily become consumed by checklists, curriculum choices and constant interruptions. What if we stepped back and asked, “In light of eternity, what really matters?” This workshop looks at homeschooling through a biblical lens: discipling our kids’ hearts, equipping them for their God-given purpose, and staying faithful when plans fall apart. It’s not about doing more; it’s about doing what lasts.
🧸 Homeschooling with Preschoolers
Those little balls of energy can definitely make the school day interesting! What if we saw our preschoolers as a blessing to the school day instead of an obstacle to be managed? We’ll talk about the benefits of homeschooling with littles in tow and practical strategies to include your preschooler in the day, while keeping you sane in the process.
📦 Homeschooling on the Bad Days
We spend hours planning the “perfect homeschool,” but how often do we plan for the days that are less than perfect? This session covers ideas for preparing for the tough days, plus a simple, helpful tool you can create to make those days run smoother.
🎉 Stuck in a Rut? Injecting Joy & Fun Back into Your Homeschool
When mid-year fatigue sets in, adding joy can feel overwhelming, especially when time, energy and budgets are tight. This session shares realistic, low-cost ideas and small, intentional changes that turn the mid-year slump into a time of laughter, learning and meaningful moments.
🌱 Let Them Struggle: Raising Resilient Kids in Your Homeschool
We love our kids deeply, and because of that, it’s so easy to step in the moment things get hard: to give the answer, ease the frustration and keep things moving. But somewhere along the way we start to feel that tension, knowing we might be helping in the moment but holding them back in the long run. God, in His wisdom, uses struggle to shape us, and He often does the same in our children.
This workshop is for the parent who feels that pull between helping and holding back, and wants to learn how to trust the process, support their child well, and rest in the truth that growth often comes through the hard things.
💗 Teaching Kids to Manage Their Emotions
Big feelings are a normal part of childhood, but they don’t have to take over your homeschool day. This workshop equips you with tools to help your kids understand and manage their emotions in a way that fosters both personal growth and family harmony. You’ll learn how to:
- Teach your kids to take their thoughts captive and align them with biblical truth
- Help them identify and challenge automatic thoughts and emotional triggers
- Encourage emotional resilience and self-control
- Create a homeschool environment where emotions are understood, not in control
Through relatable examples and actionable strategies, you’ll walk away with confidence to guide your kids in building healthier thought patterns and emotional responses, all while growing in their faith.
