It is essential that parents learn to help their children navigate the bewildering intersections of culture and values. It can be difficult to diagnose what causes wrong turns; too often our attempts to parent wisely are based on inaccurate presuppositions. Join Daniel Schwabauer for a revealing look at the nature of American culture and how it affects generational change.

Story is an essential tool in getting kids to love writing. Fortunately, anyone can learn to create a compelling story - even kids who hate to write! Discover the five elements of a good story with award-winning author Daniel Schwabauer. Learn how to teach the basics of storytelling to your students by asking "The Write Questions." As we discuss the basics of every good story, we'll see what makes fiction an effective teaching tool, how to balance mechanics with imagination, and how to choose quality reading material. Your students will learn to be better storytellers, and in the process gain a remarkable skill: the ability to see the world through someone else's eyes.

In this session, Dr. Schwabauer offers an honest assessment of higher education today from the perspective of a homeschool curriculum developer and teaching professor. Should my high school student be preparing for college, and if so, what might that preparation look like? Is college safe for a student's faith? Is a secular or a Christian college a better choice for your situation? What should you look for when searching for a university? Time for Q&A at the end.

Making sure students know the right answers is important. But those answers should never come at the cost of a student hating to learn. The key to instilling a lifetime love of learning is harnessing your student's natural curiosity in order to trigger wonder. Whatever it does to cats, curiosity will save a child's mind.
