Babies, Toddlers, and Preschoolers, OH MY!: Successfully Integrating Little Ones into Your Homeschool

Homeschooling older children with preschool-age children in the mix (particularly infants and toddlers) can be hectic. We moms often feel like we're neglecting one thing or another: home management, academics, or the needs of our little ones. When we focus on "being" rather than "doing" and keep the blessings of this season of life in mind, we can continue to experience joy in spite of the occasional chaos.

Defeating Depression:Cooperating with God to Experience Victory Over Negative Emotions

Whether you suffer from occasional blues or clinical depression, there is hope! This talk explores the Scriptures as they address the role of our emotions and encourages women to cooperate with God, in things both practical and spiritual, to overcome those negative emotions.

Home Management AND Home Ministry: Getting it all Done while Putting First Things First

A mom's first and greatest priorites in ministry are to be a helpmate to her husband, to love and disciple her children, and to keep her home in a way that honors the Lord. During this season of life, it's easy to get discouraged that we're not "doing" more for the Lord--so let this talk (based on Titus 2:4-5) encourage you about all that you ARE doing!

Simplified Biblical Instruction and Character Training for your Young Children

In this session, Cindy shares the solidly biblical and values-based training methods and systems that the Carriers have successfully implemented in their home. It simplifies Biblical instruction in a way that even the youngest of children can understand, with the goal of growth in Christlike character.

The UP-Side of Feeling Down

Be encouraged about the GOOD things that God is working as you walk through the valleys!

with Marc Carrier

"The Values-Driven Family" brings together, in a balanced way, everything that the Bible says about family living. It covers family leadership, parenting essentials (training, encouragement, and discipline), family relationship-building, and even practical things like budgets and schedules and "children and chores." It is the most comprehensive resource out there--easy to read and apply!

The Growing Homeschool

We homeshooling Moms wear many hats. We often feel pressured to perform and wonder if we can truly do it all. Throw little ones into the mix, and our days can quickly become overwhelming. "The Growing Homeschool" can help! You'll learn how to create a routine that manages it all, how to educate the older children without neglecting your littles, how to levarage both integration and balance for greater peace and productivity, and--most especially--how to glorify God with all that you do in each busy day.

Values-Driven Discipleship

with Marc Carrier

"Values-Driven Discipleship" sums up, in twelve "core value" concepts, the traits that express Christlike character. It spells out and organizes key Bible verses that you can leverage to get to your child's heart with God's Word. Use it proactively to teach through the verses and help your child to grow in the values that God values: Faith, Surrender, Love, Faithfulness, Wisdom, Self-Control, Righteousness, Holiness, Humility, Diligence, Generosity, and Praise. Or, when issues and incidents arise, go to the handy index to look up those behaviors, and find verses for correction and re-direction.
