Raising Servant Leaders: How Mission Driven Living deepens faith, builds character, and unleashes potential for good!
Homeschool Mom2Mom
is Hosted by – Liz Ackerman
Whether you’re talking about declining academic excellence, gender politics in the classroom, or the intentional undermining of parents, it’s clear that our government-run public schools are a hot mess.
Moms for America wants to offer parents an alternative solution. That’s why we created our monthly webinar series, Homeschool Mom2Mom. This webinar series focuses on equipping parents for their homeschool journey. By discovering different curriculum options, learning from experienced guest speakers, and building relationships with other homeschool moms, we want to encourage, educate, and empower parents to take control of their children’s education. Thus, eliminating our reliance on government-run schools.

The Effects of Public School
On Our Kids
Join Moms for America host Liz Ackerman and
Special Guests – Protect Our Kids
Public school is the most accessible and convenient education option for most of our nation’s families, but have you ever wondered what the long term effects of public schooling are? Join Protect Our Kids as they share the latest research on the very detrimental physical, mental, and emotional toll public school has on our children and why it may be in their best interest to find alternative educational paths for them.
Homeschool Collaboratives: Which is the Best Fit for You?
Join Moms for America host Liz Ackerman.
Does the idea of homeschooling your children by yourself just overwhelm you with feelings of inadequacy and dread? If so, you are not alone and you are not without hope! Teamwork makes the dream work and you don’t have to do it alone; you can band together as homeschooling parents and form a collaborative! There are so many types, and so this month we welcome into the Homeschool Mom2Mom studio three different collaboratives, each with their own unique qualities and each demonstrating not only how they did it, but how you can do it, too.
Global Threats
& Family-Based Solutions
Do you consider yourself an “unpaid care worker” in your home? Do you think the governments of the world should “formalize the care economy” and get all women to work for pay outside their homes? Should “universal daycare” be provided for everyone in order to fulfill all people’s “care rights”? Kimberly Ells just returned from the United Nations where she saw firsthand these latest threats to family, education, and society being rolled out worldwide in the name of women’s rights. Come learn how you can counter these threats and stand strong as the first and best influencer of your family.
Addressing Your Homeschooler’s Challenging Behaviors
Day in and day out with our kiddos is the BEST THING EVER… until it isn’t! As much as we love spending all your days with your offspring, there are times when it takes all our sanity to make it through the more difficult days. Behavior Specialist Scott Aksamit will join us in our Homeschool Mom2Mom studio to teach you, your child’s best (and often only) teacher, how to effectively manage and transform their more challenging behaviors, without the drama, the screaming, or the self-defeating and repetitive patterns that we so often encounter.

Protecting Your Child From Online Predators: Homeschool Edition!

Sex trafficking is on the rise throughout the world, in the United States, and in our backyards…one would think that homeschooling would protect our children from that, right? WRONG. Join Mikayla Simeral, Shared Hope International, as she uncovers how sex traffickers are invading the privacy of your child’s bedroom right before your very eyes, what signs and symptoms of trafficking are, and how to truly protect your child within and without your home.

Preparedness for the Homeschooling Family
Join Moms for America host Liz Ackerman and special guest Lisa Bedford.
Up until just 40 or so years ago, preparedness – or “prepping” – was a normal way of life. Now, the term prepping evokes feelings of paranoia, panic, and full-on fear-mongering. In this webinar, Lisa Bedford, aka The Survival Mom, re-normalizes the art of preparing for whatever life brings and shares how this can become a core part of your own homeschooling curriculum

Do You Know All of Your
Schooling Options?
Fighting for Parental Rights with special guest, David DeLugas
Did you know that there are many organizations that are fighting for parental rights? The right to care for your child, the right to school your child in the manner you choose, the right to your God-given authority over your child and their needs. We are very thankful to have David DeLugas join us for this special webinar. David is a trial and appellate attorney with expertise in constitutional and family law. In 2013, he founded ParentsUSA after confirming the absence of an entity in the USA with the size and power to look after the interests of parents and their children and to fight for their rights. This promises to be a very enlightening and educational webinar.
New Year, Fresh Start!
Have you ever wondered about the true history of Thanksgiving? Did the Pilgrims really eat mussels and deer for their first Thanksgiving meal? We will discuss the history of the first Thanksgiving so you can share it with your children. We will also discuss Gratitude and Service. This time of year usually brings about the desire to help people. You give to the bell ringer at the mall. You donate to food drives at church, but how can you really serve people? How can you be God’s hands and feet? How can we serve people during the holidays AND keep that desire to serve others all year long?Â
What is CRT, and Does it Affect Homeschoolers?
Join Empower Moms Director Aly Legge as she details what CRT (critical race theory) is and where it came from. Aly will share her experience with CRT and how it can affect homeschoolers, not just publicly schooled children. Aly will cover the dangers of CRT and why even homeschool parents should be voicing their opposition every chance they get. This is a very hot topic right now, and Aly comes prepared with a wealth of information.
Thanksgiving, Gratitude & Service
Homeschooling for the Holidays
Happy Holidays! Homeschooling during the holidays can be among the most joyous times in your homeschool year. Will you take a break and not do any formal school? Will you learn about holiday customs around the world? Will you focus your attention on celebrating and cooking? There are so many options to choose from. Join us as we discuss all of these options and more. Let’s make your holiday homeschool more meaningful and fun this year!
