2026 Homeschool Idaho Convention: Cultivate Connection
Presented by: Homeschool IdahoJun. 5, 2026
Thinking about homeschooling? This workshop is for moms and dads who are wondering if homeschooling is right for their family. You want to go into this with eyes wide-open and realistic expectations. Real-dad, Todd Wilson, will shoot straight with you, sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly and will help clarify if homeschooling is for you.
We are raising kids in a generation where more hours a day are spent in front of a screen than are spent outside. From video games to social media, this generation is existing more virtually than they are in the real world around them, and we are seeing the damaging results in our children, families, and culture. Join Aby Rinella as she discusses the dangers of social media on our kids, how we can step out of the virtual and back into real life; how we can cultivate real connection, thrive in the tangible world around us, and how we benefit physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually from being outdoors together. You will also learn practical tips to take your school outdoors and how to grow as a family on the adventure!

It's a fact! The only thing tougher than being a homeschooling mom is...being married to a homeschooling mom! Dad, your wife needs your help. Come join me as we discuss how to support and assist our wives in the homeschooling journey. We'll also do a lot of laughing, as I encourage men to be encouragers of their homeschooling wives.
Homeschooling is hard, parenting is hard, and marriage...well, that’s way hard. And that’s OK and even normal. Trouble is we don’t like hard. We want easy, fast, and cheap, and at the same time we want successful results. But the truth is that good things are hard and hard things are good, and they go hand in hand. Sadly, most people don’t ever experience the good because they can’t handle the hard. They put the hard thing off, hoping it will get easier, or they avoid it all together, and all they end up with is a pile of regrets. Here’s the good news: you can handle the hard. In fact, if you’re faced with two choices, pick ‘HARD.’ During this hour, you’ll laugh with Todd as he shares how to embrace the hardness while keeping your eye on the joy and experience God’s best for you.
