A conference For refocusing your vision for your homeschool

Why this theme for 2023?
For the last 11 years, Teach Them Diligently events and resources have focused on the HEART of our homeschool, and we’ve stood in awe as God has transformed families by opening their eyes to the incredible importance of what they do every single day within their homes. By prioritizing discipleship, relationships, and giving our children a foundation for their faith that will hold no matter what craziness the world tries to push on them, we are truly preparing them for success no matter what God calls them to do in the days ahead. Time after time, we’ve heard from families whose lives have been transformed as they’ve realized the importance of their mission and re-aligned their thinking to fit that.
Homeschooling for the heart of your children is a lifestyle choice that goes well beyond a mere educational decision. It can strengthen your family, give increased confidence, and bring peace to your days. We believe in the method so much in fact that we’ve coined the phrase “Heart Schoolers” to identify those of us who prioritize discipleship and allow that to drive our educational efforts. Heart Schooling prioritizes the hearts in children. When priorities are in line, hearts are won, academic excellence is achieved as love of learning increases, and confidence grows in children and parents alike. It truly is the unexpected intersection of great parenting and excellent home education. By the time this year is over, I pray that your family, like ours, will happily identify as Heart Schoolers and that you too will enjoy the incredible life Heart Schooling affords.
You’ll find that the secret to becoming a true Heart School family and enjoying the lifestyle that comes along with that is to change the central focus of your homeschool. We invite you to check out Leslie’s newest book, Homeschool with Heart: How Amazing Parents Become Excellent Home Educators to really dive into what we’re talking about and then join us in Teach Them Diligently 365 all year long and at an event this season to get even more encouragement and helps for your family to adopt this life-giving way to homeschool.

Todd Wilson – The Smiling Homeschooler – Lies Homeschoolers Believe
DMC 101
Your house is a disaster, your kids seem out of control, and you wonder how you’ll ever make it through another day of school. Your “get up and go” has “gotten up and went”. You used to think homeschooling was the best thing since sliced bread, but now you’re feeling like burnt toast. Take heart – you’re not alone! No one homeschools because it’s easy. You do it because you believe it is best. But there are times when you need to be reminded once again why it’s best. Join me as we do just that. You’ll laugh and be encouraged in the toughest job you’ll ever…love.
Trudie Schar – Learning Little Lessons – Dream on Hold?
DMC 102
Do you feel like your dreams are on hold because of your choice to homeschool? You look around and see other moms becoming “someone important” while their kids are at school, and you feel like your hours pass by with nothing to show for them? Has satan whispered his lies that you are wasting your life? Or made you feel trapped in your own home?
Come join Trudie as she shares why homeschooling your kids IS preparing you for the dreams on your heart. From wishing the years away to realizing the best way to prepare for the dreams is to be fully present with what’s in front of you, Trudie shares her own journey. You will leave with ten important tips on how to deal with your dream on hold. And perhaps a clearer understanding of what God has in mind for your years spent nurturing your children
10:10 AM
Christine Zell– Rabbit Trails Homeschooling– Building Confidence in Your Homeschool
DMC 101
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
Rachel Rauch – Eiro Wellness — Overcoming Stress and Burnout
DMC 101
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. But there isn’t time to be frazzled so we keep going anyway. Afterall, we are super-mom and need to be able to do it all. Until we can’t. 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!
David Nunnery– Teach Them Diligently – Husbands Love Your Wives (Men Only)

Todd Wilson – The Smiling Homeschooler – This, We Believe
Recital Hall
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. We have plenty of “how tos” but have forgotten the “why tos” and it evidences itself in our lack of joy of homeschooling, family, and parenting.
12:10 PM- 2:00 PM– Lunch and Shopping

Kathy Koch – Celebrate Kids – Five to Thrive: Help Your Children Become Whole and Meet Their Core Needs

You’ll be refreshed by Dr. Kathy’s practical problem-solving approach to problems your children may be having.

Dr. Kathy Koch– Celebrate Kids– 8 Great Smarts: Discovering and Using Your Child’s Intelligences

Each intelligence will be explained so you can determine which ones are strengths for your children and how to teach with them.

Kathy Koch– Celebrate Kids– Resiliency: Help Children Embrace Life with Confidence
Recital Hall
Resiliency is more than bouncing back from disappointments, but just that alone is a significant benefit. Resilient children have better mental health, are creative problem solvers, can break bad habits, and are teachable and willing to use effort. Parents’ attitudes and responses to children’s challenges matter! How do you respond when they struggle? How do you handle their disappointments when things don’t go their way? Learn how to create an environment that makes resiliency more likely. Dr. Kathy’s practical techniques work!

FAQs
valuable event for you.
The live event will start at 9am and end at 6:30pm. You can find the specific event schedule ,once it has been released, above the FAQ.
Yes, you can add them for an additional $15.00 to any in-person ticket.
Besides the obvious video feed vs in-person experience, we are live-streaming only one session per hour. The livestream will provide access to all three events, but only one room per hour. This means that we will rotate sessions at each of the TTD Live Events so there shouldn’t be any duplicate sessions livestreamed. Plus, you will have access for 60 days to all livestream sessions to watch at your convenience.
This event is hosted on Cedarville University’s campus. You can purchase a meal at their dining hall or you can go off campus to nearby restaurants.
We will not have any discounted room blocks, so you can book a room at any hotel that suites your needs best.
TTD Live is designed for adults only for mom and/or dad to take a day away from everyday life and be encouraged. We suggest you get childcare for the day. Infants are welcomed at no additional cost. If you bring older children, each of them will require a ticket to the event.
This event will focus on encouraging and challenging parents. At this time of year, it’s easy to get mired in the day to day activities of homeschooling and life in general. We hope this day of refreshment will help to refocus you on the importance of your mission and build your excitement about the privilege of parenting and discipling your children as God called you to do.
We are focusing on strengthening homeschool families as they begin this school year. As Homeschoolers we have the opportunity to disciple and teach our children in a way that others may not. Which makes it all the more important that we know What we are doing; How we should be doing it; and What we stand to gain by doing it.
If you can not make it to the live in-person event, the next best thing is watching the livestream of the speakers on stage. This is not a collection of info provided across a desk on a Zoom call. The live stream will be from stage in front of a live audience. The delivery from the speakers and the energy from the audience can not be matched, and you will benefit even while watching from home.
Each speaker touches on a specific aspect of homeschooling and family that when put together will thoroughly equip parents to strengthen their families. As you will see from our speaking schedule—which can be seen on this webpage(coming soon)—the speakers address reaching the heart of your families as well as the day to day function of running a homeschool successfully.
What a great idea!! Gather some friends together to make an event out of the live streams. You’ll get the same benefit of fellowship and fun that can be found at the actual event. You will all want to have a ticket, though, so you have access to the recordings in the days ahead.
Usually, a Teach Them Diligently event will have over 100 homeschool speakers, with 1,000 families in attendance and over 5,000 people in the building. This event is much more intimate.
This is truly a live Teach Them Diligently Homeschool Event with the same Family- and Gospel-Focus you have come to expect from our organization. Every session will be in-front of a live audience which will re-create the same energy, encouragement, and know-how of one of our traditional events so that even from the comfort of your own home, you can feel like you’re actually there.
This event will provide substantial opportunity to speak with experts and speakers.
There will be books available to purchase from our speakers and stores. This will not be of the same scale as a traditional Teach Them Diligently event, but there will be resources available onsite.
Most hours of the day will have 3 workshop options available to you onsite. One room per hour will be streamed live on Saturday.
All sessions will be recorded and available through a TTD365 membership, along with every session ever recorded at each event over the last 10 years! You can also purchase a live stream ticket that will give you access to every live-streamed session for each TTD Live event up to 60 days after the event.
The cost for the event is for each person. This means that if you bring children that will use a seat then you must purchase a ticket. Furthermore, these seats at the live in-person event are non-refundable.
There are tickets available for just the internet livestream if you can not make it to the in-person event.
