Home Education for Real Life – Series
How to Teach Your Children to Thrive in the 21st Century
If you’ve ever wondered how in the world you are going to teach your children everything they need to know for life and leadership in the real world, this 7-part series from the Botkin family might be the dose of hope, relief, and encouragement you need.
Featuring veteran homeschoolers Geoffrey and Victoria and all seven of their grown children, “Home Education for Real Life” tackles the tough issues: higher education, different learning styles, giftings, homeschooling on a budget, vocational training, teaching social skills and confidence, helping children who don’t like to read or write, teaching children to navigate the world without becoming conformed to the world, creating an educational home environment, and more. Hear from each member of the Botkin family, as they talk about lessons they’ve learned along the way, books and resources they recommend, things that worked for them, and things they’ll never do again. A great source of motivation and encouragement for the whole family!

What Others Are Saying
We just listened to session one and want to thank you with all of our hearts for this webinar. We are parents of nine children. The oldest is 16 and we are in the “thick” of home schooling. This is a tremendous encouragement. –O.C.
Thank you so much for your very insightful, practical, and encouraging Tuesday night lectures! Thank you also for your transparency into your family life. –R.G.
I have already been challenged and blessed by the webinar and can hardly wait to watch it each week! God has already used you and your whole family to help my husband and I to think and live more Biblically, and I can’t thank you all enough! What a tremendous blessing that we all share a bond with each other through Christ, even though we hardly know each other! –C.B.
I so appreciate your willingness to share your family’s experiences and way of life. –E.W.
