This workshop is designed for the parent who is considering home education. The first question to ask is "Shall I home school?" We’ll look at the common reasons for home schooling with a focus on how to tell whether it’s right for you. The second question, "How do I begin?" will be answered in a step-by step manner not only showing what needs to be done, but when and how. Finally, we’ll make sure to cover the common questions of "What about socialization?", "What if I don’t feel qualified?", and "What about high school, college, or hard academic subjects like chemistry or trigonometry?"

Watch your step! Those wee ones are learning from everything you do. Betsy will offer encouragement and ideas for mothers of toddlers, especially those balancing their older and younger children’s education.

Today most people think that education is to train a child for a good paying and satisfying job. Is that how we as home educators ought to view education? We have already taken the quirky road of non-conformity by teaching our children at home. Ought we consider something so outrageously daring as to become traditionalists? For thousands of years, until modern 20th century man became “enlightened,” education primarily had one goal in mind. Come find out what that goal was. This foundation of education must be solid in order to have an ordered, civilized person and society. Come learn how to be a trend setter by pursuing traditionalism.

Raising motivated children starts with the parents. How are you as a parent motivated? How will you model that for your children? But one must step back even further to ask – why are you home schooling? When having that answer clear in your mind, you as a parent-teacher then have a source for your own motivation. Spreading that to your children then becomes easier. As they catch your vision they also will be more motivated. Obedience is another key issue of motivation. Come and discover the many aspects of motivation in this talk which will help you deal with, " Mom, I don't want to do my math today – or ever again."
