2023 CONFERENCE SESSION

SESSION: I NEVER PLANNED TO HOMESCHOOL!

An increasing number of parents identify with the terms “Unexpected Homeschooler” and “Reluctant Homeschooler”. For parents whose kids’ wellbeing is negatively impacted by school, there is often no choice but to step out of the school system, and create their own life and education path. Taking this step when you never expected to, and perhaps don’t really even want to, can be very frightening and stressful.

In this session, Stephanie will share some of the strategies and ideas that have helped her “Reluctant” or “Unexpected” Homeschooler clients to feel more confident, peaceful, and even excited about this journey.

Participants are invited to bring their specific questions and challenges to the session.

SESSION: HOMESCHOOLING TEENS - IT'S ALL ABOUT R.A.P. (RELATIONSHIP, APPROACH, & PROCESS)

Join Stephanie to explore the in's and out's of homeschooling during the teen years. What is at the root of positive parent - teen homeschooling experiences? How does this influence our approach to both parenting and education? How do we plan our days, weeks, months and years with all this in mind? Participants of all ages will have the chance to explore and challenge their assumptions around education, to consider how the teen-parent relationship can evolve, and to let go of "should's" in favour of a future that is determined by the teen's own educational and life path.
