So where do I, as a dad, fit into this homeschooling thing? I have so little time as it is due to my work schedule; should I be expected to teach classes as well? What does God expect of me? Should I feel guilty letting my wife do the teaching? This workshop will explore the various dynamics involved in homeschooling that must be considered when answering the above questions. Yes, the father needs to be intimately involved in the process of homeschooling, but many factors will determine what that looks like. Come let us talk this over and see how you might serve your wife and children.

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."
