Christine Zell– Rabbit Trails Homeschooling– Building Confidence in Your Homeschool

Recital Hall

We’ve all seen our kids go through struggles. Maybe it’s in spelling, maybe it’s in math, or maybe it’s just in life. It’s normal to go through struggles in our homeschools. But, the question is: How are we going to approach this to help them gain confidence? Even more than that, how are we going to build our own confidence in our ability to help our children as their parents? Get the encouragement you need to keep going, plus the confidence you need to help your kids through their struggles. “For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.” Proverbs 3:26

Rest is an elusive concept in today’s culture. The demands of life with the stress of homeschooling challenge us to the point of feeling frazzled.

Our health begins to suffer, relationships are strained and our emotions begin to control us. How did we get to this point and how do we restore wholeness again? Join Rachel Rauch as she shares practical steps to address the fatigue, hormone issues, moodiness and anxiety that result from chronic stress and busyness. Don’t live in overwhelm where there is a better way!

Dads and moms, in all the busyness of life and swell of expert advice, we’ve forgotten the fundamental truths of homeschooling and family. In short, we’ve forgotten why we do what we do.
