WELCOME
Cultivating Your Child’s Strengths, Gifts, and Purpose | Zan Tyler
C. S. Lewis said, “There are no ordinary human beings”—including your children! In this session, Zan will get you started on a treasure hunt to discover the unique gifts, strengths, and purpose that God has given each of your children. We’ll explore learning styles, spiritual gifts, and other dynamic tools to help you cultivate your child’s potential. You will be inspired by the power and grace God has granted your family in shaping the identity and nurturing the future of your children.
Common Mistakes Christian Parents Make | Israel Wayne
Many well-intentioned parents make harmful mistakes as they relate to their children. These mistakes often contribute to bitterness in their children. Over time, they can result in children rejecting their parents and their values. Learn to avoid these pitfalls.
The Difference Between Schooling & Education | Israel Wayne
Most people think of schooling when they hear the word “education.” In reality, however, the two are not intrinsically linked in any way. Learn why most people are schooled, but never truly educated, and how you can ensure your children get a great education, even without schooling.
The Power of Words and Conversation | Zan Tyler
Conversation is a potent tool that carries with it the power of life and death, and lays the foundation for deep and meaningful relationships. Conversation is an essential tool in discipling your children. Research even indicates that conversation increases intelligence in children and teens. In this workshop, Zan reveals how you can utilize the simple—and free—tool of conversation to help your children become more motivated learners. Learn strategies you can take home and implement tomorrow to increase joy in learning and minimize conflict in your family, too. You’ll come away convinced that conversation IS core curriculum.

Wife, mother, veteran homeschooler, author, speaker, and podcaster.
LEARN MORE ABOUT ZAN
Zan’s homeschool journey began in 1984 when homeschooling was illegal. The State Superintendent of Education threatened Zan with jail for insisting on homeschooling her son. For the next eight years, she and other homeschool families battled for homeschool freedom and the establishment of landmark homeschool legislation in South Carolina. To this day, her legislative success in South Carolina has spearheaded legislation to ensure homeschool freedom in other states. In 1990, she founded the South Carolina Association of Independent Home Schools and served as its president for ten years. Her fight for homeschool freedom has led her to serve as the National Grassroots Director for ParentalRights.org, to advocate for homeschooling in the media (appearing on NBC’s Today Show) and at the nation’s capital, and to write profusely about the benefits of homeschooling.
