The Relationship is the Most Important Thing
Tammy Ward
All homeschool moms have done this at least once or a hundred times, right? “You need to learn this and you need to learn that.” Check, Check, Double Check off the list. Sometimes, we need to take a day off and just relax. Nurturing the relationship can be a great reward not only for the short term but for eternity. In this short “one on one,” hear real stories on the importance of tuning in to your relationships. Bring a tissue and a notebook. 🙂
Tammy Ward is a people person and has a passion for connecting people. She loves to be a mom and loves to learn with her kids! They reside in Northern Box Elder County. Her interests are many and vary from studying scriptures, cooking, organizing events, ‘Christ Centered’ energy work, foot zoning, whole foods, natural parenting, gardening, camping and hanging out with her family. They have been homeschooling for 8+ years. She has 7 kids and 1 smiling husband! She is the leader for the Box Elder Vanguard Commonwealth Group and also their Leadership Academy Mentor. Part of her life mission is to offer support for homeschool moms. She is probably best known around the homeschooling community for organizing memorable, enriching events for homeschoolers like the homeschool girls camp each summer called “Future Mothers Camp.” In addition, there is the “Mother Daughter Retreats,” and now the Winter Homeschool Conference.

The event, Parent’s Guide to Homeschool Survival took place the Spring of 2013.
Do you love Homeschooling
but sometimes feel overwhelmed?
We can relate! In the fall homeschooling can be wonderful and exciting and filled with energy and lots of plans. By February and March the energy has faded and we begin to wonder if we’ll get through all the plans we made last fall.
Here’s what we fight against:
- So many choices in schools, co-ops, academies, and curricula
- Each of our children desire something different and keep changing
- A typical day does not always go as we planned and negative emotions set in
- We have mixed emotions
- Feelings fill our mind – are they getting enough? Are they behind? What if …?
- We compare ourselves to other homeschoolers and feel inadequate
We have all been there! Let’s make this year different. A little shift in perspective and you can have an increase of energy and joy that will help you last through the end of the school year.
WHAT IF YOU WENT INTO THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR FEELING REFRESHED AND CONFIDENT?
What if you:
- received the light, love, and healing God is already sending to you.
- knew how to spot SPARKS, the genius of a child
- knew 3 keys to helping yourself and your children get an education that truly creates impact.
- learned one simple principle that would turn your homeschool around in just a few minutes and restore interest and enthusiasm right now
- knew how to nurture a relationship with your child
- lived what you know that you may know more–even God.
- knew the key to a thriving homeschool
- knew how to get your homeschooler into college
- and your children knew how to find and teach doctrines and principles easily
Sounds too good to be true right?
As Homeschoolers we are powerful creators! And we have a great responsibility and impact on our family and our community. Your perspective and vision can create change faster than you can imagine. You are doing great!
Here is our gift to you!
