When Homeschooling is Hard

(Homeschool How-To)

If you’ve been homeschooling for any length of time, you’ve undoubtedly had a hard homeschool day (or week, or month, or season). We’ve all been there. The kids are struggling or lacking motivation, it’s hard to focus, everyone’s feeling cranky, and it seems like you’re getting farther and farther behind. So, what do you do when those hard days happen? In this uplifting session, Zan Tyler shares strategies, inspiration, and practical ideas to help you through those hard homeschool days.

Cultivating Your Child’s Strengths, Gifts, and Purpose

(Homeschool How-To)

C. S. Lewis said, “There are no ordinary human beings” — including your children! In this session, Zan Tyler will get you started on a treasure hunt to discover the unique gifts, strengths, and purpose that God has given each of your children. We’ll explore learning styles, spiritual gifts, and other dynamic tools to help you cultivate your child’s potential. You will be inspired by the power and grace God has granted your family in shaping the identity and nurturing the future of your children.

Help! I’m Homeschooling an Unmotivated Child

(Homeschool How-To)

Infusing our children’s lives with motivation instead of having to drag them from one lesson to the next — is that even possible? Most of us are just trying to keep them on task in the midst of math anxiety, sibling rivalry, mounds of laundry, and the daily demands of life. Now imagine this: as you lead your children intentionally through their day, they learn and grow exponentially as you work to cultivate their strengths and encourage their faith. This isn’t a dream — it IS possible! Zan Tyler shares four power-packed principles you can use right away to motivate your children and raise a family of mountain-movers.

Join thousands of other homeschoolers this June 12-14th at the Rocky Mountain Homeschool Conference. Expect to have a lot of fun and fellowship with other homeschool families, find great deals on curriculum, and get practical encouragement for your homeschooling at our workshops and general sessions!
