In order for a home schooling family and education program to succeed there are a number of essential requirements.  These requirements have little to do with the academics, but everything to do with proper attitudes, expectations, commitments, and relationships between Mom and Dad.  Gerry and Cynthia Peterson will share from their personal experience to help you discover some of the basics for home schooling Moms and Dads.

Have you ever wondered why certain families just “seem” to have it all together?  Mom and Dad love each other and have such an easy going demeanor.  Their children are well behaved, responsible, and kind.  May I suggest that these behaviors do not occur by chance or the “luck of the draw”, but in many cases through a diligent focus on the word of God and the character of Jesus Christ.  Come and learn what the scripture teaches about character and how you can become a family that honors the Lord by emphasizing and demonstrating His character.

Children are naturally curious. Nurturing a desire to learn is more important than choosing curriculum. Come hear this talented and experienced educator share her first-hand experiences with you. You will take home tried and proven methods to make learning more enjoyable for your child.
