Hal and Melanie’s Sessions at OCEANetwork
| FRIDAY 10:45am | THREE SIMPLE GOALS FOR YOUR FIRST YEAR Over years of calls from brand new homeschoolers, Melanie learned that there were really three things that needed to be accomplished the first year in order for new families to succeed at homeschooling. Learn how to get through your first year without jerking anybody bald-headed, including yourself! |
| FRIDAY 3:00pm | MY BELOVED, MY FRIEND Christian marriages are breaking up everywhere. How can this be? What is wrong when a family at the forefront of the culture war spins apart? If you homeschool, you know you are in a spiritual battle. Don’t let your marriage be the weak point in your armor. Find out about challenges your marriage may face, and how to work it through, not just to stay together, but to find joy and strength in each other as you mirror the relationship of Christ and the church to your children – and the rest of the world. |
| FRIDAY 4:30pm | HOMESCHOOLING THROUGH THE HARD TIMES Homeschooling is a challenge at any time. Hal and Melanie have seen God’s grace in stage IV cancer, a baby with a heart condition, job loss, relocations, and more! The good news is that God can enable you to teach and learn more through the hard times than you ever thought possible. Find out why it’s so important to keep homeschooling in spite of the challenges. |

| SATURDAY 9:00am | HOMESCHOOLING A HOUSEFUL Sometimes homeschooling feels like one of those plate-spinning acts, and you wonder how in the world you’re going to meet everyone’s needs. The baby needs to be changed, the toddler is playing in the toilet, your high schooler is impatiently waiting for you to help with his biology experiment, and two other children say, “I can’t do anything else without you, Mom.” Melanie Young, mother of eight, shares encouragement and ideas for how to keep all of those plates spinning at once without your life spinning out of control. Learn how to raise independent learners, keep the household moving, and make sure the little ones get enough attention. |
| SATURDAY 10:30am | RAISING REAL MEN In spite of what the culture is telling us, boys and girls are different. Have you ever had a war breakout in the middle of history, or had a single math lesson take three hours? Then you’re probably raising boys! If the world seems intent on gender-bending and forcing our sons into a feminized mold, Hal and Melanie, parents of six boys, explain the biblical way out – and a better way to turn wild little dirt-lovers into strong Christian men! |

| SATURDAY 3:00pm | HOMESCHOOLING FROM THE BEGINNING When do you get started and what do you do first? We’ve had precocious readers and late bloomers, but every one of them has benefited from being homeschooled from the beginning. Learn to relax and introduce your little ones to the joy of learning in a gentle and realistic way that will prepare them to succeed academically. |
