Why Attend a Homeschool Convention?

 

With product reviews, You Tube videos, and Facebook groups filled with homeschool help, is a homeschool convention even necessary? Absolutely! Attending a homeschool convention has many benefits; but here are my top three reasons you should attend a homeschool convention this year.

Empowerment

In a digital age where we can press pause and come back later, our attention spans diminish as we go about with household duties. We need time to focus and be able to learn what we need to know to homeschool our children. We might even be able to speak one-on-one with speakers, and glean even more wisdom and inspiration.

Enrichment

Online curriculum reviews are a blessing, but getting your hands on the curriculum changes everything. Even though the handy “look inside” feature on Amazon allows you to see several pages, nothing compares to physically looking through the pages. When you attend a homeschool convention, not only do you get to view curriculum but also save money with convention-only specials; and some publishers even offer product giveaways!

Encouragement

Let’s face it. We all need encouragement once in a while, and getting with like-minded people can be just what we need to press on to homeschool through high school. Homeschooling is tough. Some days are just hard. As any mom can attest, we tend to get so focused on others and neglect ourselves. And that’s not good for anyone. We need to be with other adults – for that occasional grown-up conversation. When it comes to refueling the weary homeschool mom, taking time to be with other homeschool moms can help boost your confidence and give you strength to keep on keeping on.

Homeschool conventions are happening in 2022! I will continue speaking at online conventions; but I encourage you to join me at the Summer Summit where I will be speaking in-person about homeschooling through high school. Registration includes summit sessions, luncheon, summit shoppe, door prizes, and a take-home-tote filled with materials and resources to help the homeschool mom.

Happy Homeschooling!
