Coming up on HSLDA @home e-vents If you're like most homeschooling parents, a new school year can bring anticipation, excitement, and--let's be honest--anxiety. As we consider the magnitude of the task of homeschooling, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. On Tuesday, September 15 at 9:00 p.m. (ET), author, speaker, and homeschooling mother Zan Tyler reminds us that God's Word provides hope, encouragement, motivation, and comfort, and shows us how to draw these things out of Scripture. There is Good News for all of us! In this webinar, Zan first points us to God's promises, then, in light of those promises, addresses common concerns and questions homeschooling mothers face with each new school year. Be encouraged and inspired by truth from God's Word! Then, later that week, find out whether college is the best next step for your bright, well-educated, well-socialized homeschooled student. If college is not part of the plan, where do you find resources and apprenticeships to help guide your student through the process of vocational preparation and calling? Get practical tips and insightful apprenticeship advice in this webinar by HSLDA attorney and homeschooling father Michael Donnelly. Join us on Wednesday, September 16 at 9:00 p.m. (ET) for help and information in planning for your students' unique future.
