Grammar as the Key to Writing Potential

Online (Link in the description)

Free Virtual Event

Grammar is a subject many parents feel is boring and outdated, but we would like to change the conversation. You engage with your student grammatically every time you talk to them. Instead of considering grammar as something to dislike, what if you considered it a tool to help your student become a better writer? Join us for a lively conversation about using grammar effectively in your learning endeavors. We promise to take the sting out of the conversation.

Creating Emotional Intelligence in our Children

Online (Link in the description)

Free Virtual Event

Empathy. It is so often lacking in our exchanges in society today. But how do you teach it to your children? The ability to understand and share in others’ feelings is something unique to the human experience. As parents, how do we foster the conversations that create a safe space to explore emotional intelligence and grow it within ourselves and our children? Join us for an insightful conversation with Heather Frommack, MS, RDN, CPTD. Heather is a veteran homeschooling mom of five awesome kids—by birth and international adoption. Her mission is to help normalize unity amidst diversity through the portals of empathy, Cultural Intelligence (CQ), and relationships. In her previous role as HSLDA’s Director of Outreach and Educational Consulting, she collaboratively built their first multicultural outreach program, which continues the work of cross-cultural bridge-building today. She shares from a biblical perspective, scholarly support, and humbled humor about how empathy and compassion can be created, nurtured, and fostered within your family and the greater community.
