 "Foundations for Building Whole Hearted Children"Raising Whole Hearted Children Who Will Live For Christ
Since 1988, Sally Clarkson has homeschooled her children "wholeheartedly." As she and Clay fully committed their new family to homeschooling, the idea of "wholehearted learning" grew naturally out of a lifetime of discipleship ministry, study in the Word, and walking daily with God. More than just an alternative education, the WholeHearted Learning model that emerged from their own experience and study is a full expression of biblical discipleship lived out in a family.
Too many homeschooling parents make the radical decision to do the right thing by bringing their children home, only to turn right back around and begin to pattern their homeschooling after the traditional classroom model they have just moved away from. There is a better way, though, without the trappings of formal institutional education. Sally will share how any parents can find that new way in their home-a God-designed dynamic living and learning environment full of real books, real life, and real relationships. She discusses the foundational commitments and principles of the WholeHearted Learning model, such as seeing your child through God's eyes, reading as a way of life, "whole book" learning methods, fine arts studies, and much more. WholeHearted Learning is a fresh way of looking at your home as a God-designed learning environment, and your children as God-prepared learners..
Your Christian home should be a warm, vibrant place where your children love to learn as naturally as they love to play. That is what God intended. The WholeHearted Learning Model that Sally will share can help you move toward that kind of homeschooling home. If you want that for your children, you can learn more in the WholeHearted Learning model "manual" Educating the WholeHearted Child (the revised and expanded Third Edition will release this fall as an Apologia/WholeHeart imprint).
Sally Clarkson is the mother of four wholehearted children, a national conference speaker, a regular blogger online, and the author of popular books on motherhood. Sally, now in her 26th year of momhood, opens personal and biblical windows into life-giving motherhood drawn from her life as a Christian mother.
She has ministered to families and mothers for over two decades, and since 1994 through Whole Heart Ministries, a Christian home and parenting ministry she founded with her husband, Clay. Her heart beats with a passion for motherhood, biblical discipleship and encouragement, and home education. Her heartfelt conferences and messages have inspired mothers in America and around the world to follow God wholeheartedly at home.
She and Clay have been married for 27 years and live in Monument, Colorado.
