In a man-made toxic world, how do we make wise choices and live the way God originally designed us to live? What practical steps can we make to choose God’s creation over the man-made things of this world? Dr. Vaughn will also show the link between toxin exposure and the dramatic increase in chronic disease plaguing our children today. Find out how we can stop it and reverse it!

Dara will share ideas about how to carry on the spontaneity of homeschooling fun through the high school years without compromising on the necessary knowledge needed to get into college. Having five boys in or through college, she has insight and experience about what is really required to attend college. She will inspire your creative genius to think outside the textbook box and enjoy the last few years your teenager will be home.

Young people raised in Christian homes and churches are choosing to walk away from the faith in dismal numbers. Why? You will learn what research shows are the causes and what you can do to minimize this becoming your family's story. While there are no perfect-kid formulas, there are profound ways you can influence your children's decisions in adulthood. Not just for parents of teens, this positive message will benefit moms and dads with children of all ages.

Single parents face many challenges. Single parents who homeschool face yet another set of challenges. Is it possible to be successful at this task without a spouse in the picture? Maureen Werner answers a resounding YES to that question. Both have found God to be a Source of great strength, guidance, and wisdom, and though their stories are very different, they both testify to having experienced His goodness and care all along the way. In this session, you’ll hear more about their families, their schedules, their lessons learned, as well as some tips and tricks they implement for making this all-important aspect of their family life work.

Sound too good to be true? In this unique program, your teen can earn college credits while still completing their high school requirements--no detours, no delays. This program is designed to streamline the path to higher education by giving students the opportunity to fast-track their academic journey, earning an accredited 4- year college degree while meeting high school graduation requirements. Set your teen up for both high school and college success by fast tracking a debt free degree!

Ever find yourself asking: "Can I really do this?" or "What if I'm failing my child?" or "Do I really have what it takes?" Join us for a raw and illuminating discussion on the silent struggle of self-doubt in homeschooling. Delve into the questions that haunt homeschooling moms in the dead of night and uncover strategies to silence your inner critic. In this workshop you will gain valuable insight to navigate the doubts that threaten to overwhelm and emerge with renewed confidence to embrace your homeschooling journey.

Yelling the curb disobedience is merely a quick fix with a short shelf-life. What's worse, it rarely reaches the heart of our children for good. This talk will explore the reasons why we as parents often yell at our children and the damaging effect it can have on our relationship with them. We'll also look at a number of practical ways you can discourage disobedience without all the shouting.

Is your child easily distracted during lessons? Do you struggle to keep them focused? Have you been pressured to put them on medication? In this workshop, we'll explore how understanding the cognitive functions of your child's brain can offer lasting solutions for attention and distraction. We'll introduce the three key phases of learning "Input, Elaboration, and Output" and explain how difficulties in these areas may be causing your child to lose focus. You'll learn how to identify where your child struggles and how to support them in each phase, with practical, easy-to-implement strategies. By using the mediated learning approach advocated by Dr. Reuven Feuerstein, a preeminent Jewish psychologist, you'll help your child build focus naturally within a Christ-centered learning environment.

What drives our learning? What convinces anyone to pursue knowledge, invest, and embark on great endeavors? Is "boredom" necessary or to be avoided? Why do we learn new skills? This session will explore learning for joy, motivational strategies, and outline practical planning tools that will help you take any content and foster joy in the process. If your child is less than motivated, this session may help answer why and offer key approaches you can use starting tomorrow.

Have you ever had a particularly rough homeschool day and asked yourself, "Why is this so hard?" The answer? There's more riding on the success of your homeschool than you think. Sadly, it seems that all of the "ordinary" tasks we're burdened with often obscure this fact. But here's the thing - what you're doing is anything but ordinary. Despite the various fronts of opposition and their best attempts to portray your homeschool as worthless, or worse, radical, the truth is this dying world desperately needs what you're doing; and it's one of the many reasons that for the homeschooling parent, there can be no ordinary days.

No child should sit in front of a screen all day. If we can agree on that, then the core question for parents is, "How much, if any, screentime is good for children?" What does research and common sense say about cognitive growth and the strengths and weaknesses of digital tools for learning. If our children are entering workplaces that use computers, how can we equip them over time, give them spiritual armor and ethics around usage, and find balance for a healthy family.

Will homeschooling really prepare your children for life academically, socially, and spiritually? Will they be able to go to college and be competitive in the job market? Will they be able to stand against the world’s culture and be able to stand for Christ? Dara will talk about making life management skills a part of your home life and how to incorporate it into high school credits. She will bring wisdom from Proverbs and show you how to teach your kids to apply it to their lives as she shares with you the journey of her own 5 boys and their successes and failures in the real world.

This seminar will address some of the most common researched-based motivations to home education followed by some of the perceived impediments to home education. Some barriers will be shown not to be the obstacles that they may appear to be, while others, which may be genuine hindrances that emerge during the home education journey and how to overcome them.

20/20 vision means you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. However, it does not mean that you have perfect vision. Visual acuity gives no meaning about what a person sees. If your child is not achieving their full potential academically, struggling with written reading comprehension, skips lines or words when reading, reverses words or letters, or avoids reading or near work, this presentation is for you. There are more than 17 skills that are needed for efficient vision and learning. Children struggling with binocular vision or visual processing disorders often will not complain about symptoms because they are unaware that they visually experience things any differently than their peers. In this course, we will learn about these skills, the signs and symptoms of a visual processing disorder, and what can be done to help them be successful.

Parents, we must get our children off the couch, out of the house and outside of themselves. Teaching our children to serve and to become selfless is literally the medicine to improving almost anything, including: sibling unity, respect for family and family relationships, self confidence, selflessness, compassion, empathy, self respect and so much more. Come and listen to master motivator, Monica Irvine, share wonderful ideas that will inspire your family to become selfless while having a blast!! It will be so fun!!

God proclaims His great power and wisdom in His creation (Romans 1:20). As we study the laws of science, they proclaim the necessity of a Creator. The study will be a literal, scientific reading of Genesis chapter one “as it is written”. I will go step by step through each day of creation explaining the great things God did on that day. I hope to shed some light on the creation week for His glory and our edification. We will also discover that Genesis is relevant for our lives today. To have a true grasp of science and its interruption, and the events happening today, we must understand the true historical account of Genesis. Your life and eternity depend on it.

We may hope our kids are really smart, but what happens when they are? It’s intimidating homeschooling a kid who’s racing ahead and seems to need more. Can you really meet his needs or would he be better off with professionals? How can you help her fit in socially? Should he graduate early or not? Hal & Melanie both went through gifted programs in school and now, having raised precocious children of their own, they have the insider’s perspective about the academic, social, and spiritual needs of talented kids. Learn how to teach, parent, and enjoy your bright kids!

The turmoil of the tween/preteen years between nine and thirteen usually catches parents by surprise. Diligent students become addled and distracted. Kids raised in church start questioning the existence of God. Sweet children seem to climb on an emotional rollercoaster – and then invite you to join them. Don’t get a ticket for that ride! Instead, learn to resist the temptation to lose it yourself and to shepherd our children through this challenging age at this funny and all-too-real workshop — and lay a foundation to make the teen years great!

While evaluations are a requirement specified in the PA Homeschool Law, they don’t need to be terrifying or cause anxiety in you or your children. You will get a better understanding of what goes on during an evaluation and how you can best prepare for one. Prospective evaluators, this workshop is for you too. We will discuss evaluator qualifications, as well as the importance of an evaluator in helping families end their homeschool years positively.

Are you wondering how in the world you will be able to homeschool multiple kids at different grade levels? Especially without losing your mind? Abby Banks is a homeschool mom of five and has been homeschooling since 2008.

In this workshop, we’ll share three keys to homeschooling multiple kids without going crazy (on most days!). We’ll also walk through specific action steps to take to implement what you learn.

In this informative talk, Will discusses the law in your state, and how homeschool families can take steps to protect their children from abuse and neglect, as well as from unnecessary and traumatic investigations by CPS investigators.

Let’s be honest: homeschooling is hard. But what makes it even harder is that it is not our only responsibility. We also have to be parents and homemakers while working at our jobs or being involved in our churches or ministries. How do we effectively balance all these important missions that we have been given? How do we prioritize and strategize what truly matters? If you’ve been feeling pulled in a million directions, this one’s for you.
