Teach Them Diligently Dayton 2025

As parents, we all long to pass our faith on to our children. Yet, staring at that thick study Bible, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and wonder, “Where do I even start?” In this session, you’ll uncover how the entire Bible beautifully tells one story of redemption, and you’ll gain practical insights on making the Bible accessible, engaging, and life-changing for your kids. Join us to discover the joy and simplicity of teaching God’s Word with confidence and purpose!

One of the reasons we want to homeschool our children is to make them disciples of Christ. Spiritual life is important to us, and we want them to have spiritual life. In this session, Norm addresses the most important aspects of spiritual life to teach your children to prepare the way for Jesus to make them His disciples.

Do you long for a less-structured, more flexible schedule as you homeschool your children, but you’re afraid you will ruin them for life if you do not conform to academic expectations? This is a common fear, but it is a fear that can easily be dispelled by many of us who blazed a trail before you, as we homeschooled our students in a very relaxed manner. Now that our children not only survived their homeschooling experiences, but are thriving as mature, functioning, successful adults, we are here to reassure you that homeschooling can be fun and you can relax and enjoy the journey!

The best part of homeschooling is gathering all of the children together around the table or in the family room and reading stories aloud. Sadly, a lot of homeschool curriculum does not fit well with this style of home education. Many books and programs divide children within the family into grade levels for all subjects, like a public school. There's good news, though! Learn how to make a Charlotte Mason-style homeschool schedule that will work for your whole family.

Many homeschool mothers grieve over the conflict that often occurs between them and their sons, especially as they enter the teen years. How does a mother handle the transition of her little boy as he begins to identify with his father and manhood? What is her role? What can she do to not alienate her son as she gives instruction? You'll learn the answers to these questions and more (and it will also help in your relationship with your husband).
