Servanthood 101: Teaching Kids to Serve
You're a homeschooling mom. That means you now hold down a full-time job. The hours you used to spend in keeping house are now spent teaching science and correcting papers. Unfortunately, the housework doesn't just go away. Things are piling up. The mess and dirt are making you crazy, and you don't like who you are becoming. You're tired and don't have the strength to stay up late to catch up. And no one is helping you. You're tired of nagging, tired of everyone's laziness, and tired of being everyone's slave. When, if ever, will those kids learn to shoulder their share of the responsibility? Learn the foundational key to teaching your kids how to serve.

Homeschooling Distractible Kids Who Don't Like School
You've been blessed with this amazing bundle of energy. He has spent the first years of his life climbing anything vertical, "shooting" anything that moves, turning every serious moment into a wrestling match - and doing it all at top speed. And now you want to put a book in his lap and convince him that reading word lists and adding cheerios is fun??? Yeah, right! Homeschooling is the perfect learning environment for this child! Susan, a mother of 9 children (including 7 wiggly boys) shares with you ideas on how to homeschool these distractible little bundles of energy (who'd rather be doing anything other than school) in such a way that you'll be enjoying and utilizing their boundless energy instead of quenching their fire. And, we'll look at our own heart issues which are so quick to well up and spill out on those energetic little heads. This is a fun workshop that will keep you laughing.

Exploding the Supermom Myth
Faster than a speeding toddler. More perceptive than a loco teenager. Able to fold tall towers of laundry in a single hour. Its a maid. Its a teacher. Its Supermom! Not. Is it possible to succeed in keeping up with housework and homeschool?

Is Your Homeschool C.H.A.O.S?
Oh, if only everyone could get along! But, instead, it is C.H.A.O.S (constantly heckling always over something). How do you deal with bickering in your kids so that your homeschool and your home run more smoothly?

A Recipe For Success
Okay, so, I've homeschooled for more than two decades (and have more than a decade to go). Surely I've learned some secret for successful homeschooling! Is there a formula that any mom can apply, or a recipe that will guarantee a successful homeschooling experience? Susan shares 3 ingredients vital to any truly thriving homeschool. A fun and lighthearted, yet hard-hitting workshop that will strengthen your homeschooling foundations and insure a successful endeavor.

Being an Encourager When You Are Discouraged Susan Kemmerer
You thought homeschooling would be the answer for what ails your kids, but alas, it doesn't seem to be working! You know you should be more positive and joyful, but it's hard to see much good in the little sinners that populate your homeschool. All you are able to see is their shortcomings, how unmotivated, self-centered, or worldly they are. After all, you're stuck inside the four walls of your home with them all day long! How can you see your children through a different lens? This workshop will help to equip you with the Holy-Spirit motivated gift of encouragement
