Teach Them Diligently Dayton 2025

Do you have an aversion to bugs, rain, and poison ivy? Would you rather watch nature on a screen than go outdoors for a hike? Nature study is the foundation of science and valuable for every student. Learn practical tips that even the most "indoorsy" homeschooler can implement so that you and your children don't miss out on essential adventures in nature. Let's reclaim our childlike wonder and join our children in exploring God's beautiful creation! "Never be within doors when you can rightly be without." -Charlotte Mason

I’ve been teaching civics to homeschoolers since 2012 and was a Christian talk radio show host for 16 years…and a political activist to boot. Most of my students take the class became mom and dad make them…but by the time it’s over, they understand why civics is such an important topic. If you think politics and government is just for older people, or not relevant to you as a teenager, then YOU are part of the problem. Ignorance is killing America as much as the Spirit of the Age. Don’t be part of the problem. Don’t be a fool. Wake up to the reality that your future is being shaped and impacted—to a large extent— by government, and you need to understand why it’s happening and what you can do as a Christian to push back.

Discover the tried-and-true strategies that can transform how your exceptional learner engages with their education. Say goodbye to frustration and hello to progress! Backed by the latest neuroscience, it’s actually much easier than you think! Taught by a second-generation homeschool mom who struggled with Dyslexia, an Auditory Processing Delay, and ADHD, these are lessons learned from the trenches!

When our kids misbehave, we need a plan to help them get back on track. Most styles of parenting use a "reward and punishment" system. While this may work for short-term behavior change, it rarely affects a child's inner motivation. A heart-based approach to discipline trains a child to obey because they have a sense of inner obligation to do the right thing. In this course, we'll discuss how to use a "Break" to work through discipline issues, as well as a toolbox of heart-based consequences. Consequences are viewed as opportunities for discipleship, rather than simply administering justice.

I never assume all my students are authentic, biblical Christians. The vast majority have grown up in the church and done all the right church things…but that doesn’t make you a Believer any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. My classes are a “safe space” where students can express their doubts, but rarely do they feel comfortable doing that at church, or even at home. Come join me for an open and honest discussion about dealing with any doubts you may have, and how to advance in your Christian journey while sometimes struggling with your faith.
