Registration check-in for in-person workshop attendance will be held in Walden Hall. Please park in the Johnson Sports Center parking lot.

In the midst of the mind-boggling demands of homeschooling and everyday life, we constantly need to remind ourselves that our work as homeschooling moms and dads has tremendous significance in building God’s kingdom. Using the lessons of Scripture and history, this workshop will expand your vision of how God is using the homeschool movement, as well as your specific work as a homeschooling parent, to usher in spiritual, educational, and family revival—and to preserve our American heritage.

Your child resists, procrastinates, shuts down, or flat out refuses to do his school work. Or maybe she
gives up when work gets tough. How can you jump start your child’s brain to overcome the resistance?
Learn how your kids brains work and why it’s more important for your kids to manage their energy than
their time. Hugely insightful, especially for kids with AD/HD or learning difficulties.

 

Consider purchasing lunch and snacks from the Homeschool Idaho Concession Booth in the Johnson Sports Center. Every purchase helps support our year-round efforts to inspire, promote, and protect home education in Idaho.

You are welcome to pack a picnic to enjoy on the beautiful NNU campus. Numerous restaurants are just a few blocks away from the convention site.

 

Homeschooling is more like running a 26-mile marathon than a 100-yard dash. If you want to complete the race successfully, you must develop a training strategy that builds your strength, stamina, and vision and enables you to persevere until the end. We will discuss lofty topics like creating a powerful and sustaining vision. And we will look at down-to-earth topics like pacing yourself, choosing curriculum, and developing homeschool mentors and friends. Zan Tyler, who homeschooled her children for 21 years, provides training tips that will help you complete the God-given task of homeschooling and help you and your children “run with endurance the race that lies before us.”

How do you motivate a child who looks right at you and doesn’t listen? What about a teenager who has shut down or defiant? Your child was born with boxing gloves on, ready to fight. Well-meaning people tell you to clamp down on and get control of your child. But you don’t want to crush his spirit or create more defiance. Instead of constantly creating power struggles, we’ll show you how to enjoy a respectful, motivated child who is confident, persistent and purposeful.

 

Due to space limitations, online pre-registration is required. Please park in the Johnson Sports Center parking lot.

Our children live in the midst of a secular culture, facing issues and moral dilemmas that we never had to deal with at their age. Because of this, startling percentages of those raised in evangelical homes are abandoning their faith as they move into adulthood. Training our children to develop strong biblical worldviews is crucial and one of the most important gifts we can give them. Teaching them to think biblically about all areas of life will equip them to become powerful thinkers, leaders, and communicators and will strengthen their faith as they face skepticism and opposition in today’s world.
