If you are struggling with homeschooling and parenting then this summit is for you! I’ve been homeschooling for a long time and there have been many days along the way where I wondered if I was cut out for it. I would have loved to have a resource like this in my early homeschooling days but even if you’ve homeschooled forever as I have, you will benefit from this event. Please don’t miss this summit, it’s free and starts this week!

Parenting Summit

The Homeschool Parenting Summit

If you are a homeschooling parent — then you can probably relate to burning the candle at both ends. And if there were more than two ends on a candle, they’d probably be burning too! Parenting children is a monumental task in itself; add in home education and “craziness” becomes an understatement.

There is good news, though! You can learn to trade your parenting discouragement for courage, founded on biblical truth, and that’s what the Homeschool Parenting Summit is all about. It’s a free week-long event coming October 22-27, 2018 to help you focus on God’s simple plan for family discipleship, recharge your motivation, and faithfully take action to raise children who love God and others.

Join 25 speakers with our hosts, Daniel & Megan, in video sessions focused on five key topics:

  • Foundations: Start things off right, from your own self-discipline to unity with your spouse on your family’s mission.
  • Child Training: Reach the heart of your children with Gospel-motivated love, truth, and consistency.
  • Relationships: Pursue healthy conflict resolution and friendships between parents and siblings.
  • Challenges: Navigate overwhelm, rebellion, media, and technology from a biblical perspective.
  • Launch: Leverage the power of discipleship to propel young adults for marriage, work, and a life of service to Christ.

The entire event free if you sign up by October 22nd.

In addition to the video sessions, you’ll also get access to an online vendor hall (with exclusive discounts and freebies), live daily devotions to help you set your heart on God’s plan for parenting, and a private Facebook group to connect with speakers and other attendees.

You’ll walk away from the Homeschool Parenting Summit with renewed hope and faith-filled action strategies for a joyful family that loves God wholeheartedly.

Are you anxious about homeschooling high school? Maybe you’re already doing it but you have no earthly idea how to keep up with the grading or record keeping.

I’m a seasoned homeschool mom of four, having graduated my two oldest daughters and continuing to homeschool my younger two. Like many, I was intimidated by the thought of homeschooling high school, especially those dreaded transcripts.

Do You Value Your Job as a Homeschool Mom?

It’s the beginning of a new homeschool year for us and we’re already in the full swing of things.

Each new year, we start off slowly and really try to enjoy it. On the first day, we pull out all the school books and supplies and sit together taking in all the sights and smells of our new things. Come on now, you know you love the smell of new books, I sure do.

We try to enjoy our first week as much as possible and then proceed to do only a few subjects a day. By the second week, the kids are completing each subject and we continue to tweak our schedule.

7 Steps to Homeschooling Your Anxious Child

by Leave a Comment

Homeschooling is one of those wonderful blessings that presents constant opportunities for growth and change. Homeschooling an anxious child, well, that can just rock your world!

Anxiety is a very real disorder, adrenaline kicks in and suddenly your child becomes out of control and no longer thinks clearly. No matter what you say or do your child will either resist you or he will shut down altogether. This is the fight or flight response caused by adrenaline.

However challenging, there are ways to homeschool an anxious child. It’s going to take work on your part. You’ll need to study your child and always remember to not take your child’s behavior or tantrums personally. You’re going to have to be a lot more flexible and patient but you can do it.

Finding Grace to Be a Great Homeschool Mom

by Leave a Comment

As I prepare for a new homeschool year I’ve been thinking a lot about my life as a homeschool mom. I have two adult children now and two still in our homeschool.

As most Moms do from time to time, I’ve found myself reflecting back over the years, thinking about the fun things I did with my kids when they were little, the sweet memories that I’ll cherish forever, and the way they’ve grown and matured and then B-A-M! I get hit with all the things I think I’ve done wrong or all the ways I think I’ve failed them.

Homeschooling with Abundant Joy When You Want to Quit

by Leave a Comment

If you’ve been homeschooling for any length of time I would guess you’ve thought about quitting at some point. You may even be so burnt out right now that you can’t imagine how you’ll continue another day.

This is my guest post, originally shared on Busy Boys Brigade, which is now Rock Your Homeschool. I didn’t want any of my readers to miss this post so I’m making it available here. Be sure to visit Amy Milcic’s amazing blog Rock Your Homeschool.

When I began homeschooling 16 years ago I had idealistic expectations about how it would be. I planned everything in great detail and purchased all of our supplies for our first year. I was nervous but excited and I even memorized answers to every absurd question I would get from others about why I would want to homeschool. [Read more…]
