Relaxing and enjoying your children is an important
part of homeschooling. Focusing on conversation
with your kids is an important key to that.
Conversation is also an essential tool in providing
a rich educational experience. In the traditional
classroom environment, students have an average
of eight to ten individual interactions with their
teacher each day. In your homeschool, these verbal
interactions can number in the hundreds and greatly
enhance the quality of education your children
receive. Explore strategies to minimize conflict in your
home and promote camaraderie, enthusiasm, and joy
in learning. Conversation is the key! Conversation IS
core curriculum.

Conflict with our children can cause a great gulf
between us. Discipline in the home is a must, but it
need not create tension between us and our children.
The Smiths will share how Biblical discipline is often
misapplied, but more importantly, how we can pattern
our family discipline after that of our Heavenly Father.
Stories of parents doing it well will empower you
to make needed adjustments in your approach to
discipline.

Phil and Trisha Guse

Phil and Tricia provided the entirety of their five
children’s education at home. Tricia was the kids’
teacher until 2014 when she began her practice as a
registered midwife. At this time, Phil took over the
daily oversight of the kids’ education as he continued
to run their farm. At that time their oldest child was in
grade 11 and their youngest was in grade 5. As of 2022
all the kids are still talking to them so it seems they all
survived without too many scars…Please join Phil and
Tricia as they share their joys and challenges, sorrows
and victories in the amazing adventure of home
education, with a focus on high school and beyond.

Here we will cover what God’s vision is for families,
how parents should be the protectors and gatekeepers
of their home. Come learn how technology can affect
a child’s developing brain and why we should be on
guard. Technology can be a great resource but we
must learn to make it our servant and not let it become
our master. Let us tell you about our journey with our
children and what has worked for us in our home.

A workshop aimed at helping adults understand it
is their responsibility to protect children and that
children are best protected when they are surrounded
by adults who are educated, attentive, and prepared
to take action…responsibly when a disclosure is made!
With all the media attention on Sexual Abuse these
days, it is an issue we no longer can ignore. It is in
our homes, our schools, our sports clubs and in our
churches.

From teaching phonics to graduating teens,
from refereeing fights to nurturing faith, our
lives as homeschooling parents run the gamut
from the very mundane to the very meaningful.
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 and Canadian heritage.

For the past 35 years, Zan Tyler and her husband, Joe, have been actively involved in
the American homeschool movement teaching and mentoring others. At their speaking
engagements, they take their audiences beyond the demands of everyday life to embrace a
wondrous, life-giving vision of family life. Audiences agree, “Zan and Joe are inspiring, engaging,
funny, full of enthusiasm, encouraging, real, relatable, passionate, uplifting, empowering–
authentic!”
