Do you have a child who would rather hang upside down on the couch than sit neatly at the kitchen table with a pencil? A creative kid who learns best while moving, tinkering, imagining, or exploring—but shuts down the moment you pull out a workbook? You’re not alone! And your child isn’t “doing it wrong.” They’re learning in the way their brilliant brain was designed to learn.
In this encouraging and practical workshop for homeschooling moms of neurodivergent kids, we’ll explore what’s happening in the neurodivergent brain, why traditional sit-still schooling often backfires, and how to meet your child where they are with flexible, sensory-friendly teaching strategies.
You’ll learn simple ways to create an environment that works with—not against—their wiring, along with real examples, adaptable routines, and tools you can use the very next day. Whether your child thrives while building with Legos, pacing the hallway, drawing, climbing, or narrating stories upside down, this workshop will help you transform their natural strengths into joyful learning. Come be encouraged, gather fresh ideas, and walk away with confidence that you can homeschool your wonderfully wiggly, wildly creative, beautifully wired child—without forcing them into a box they were never meant to fit.
Guest speaker: Jen Hickle from Never Alone Coaching. Jen is a homeschooling mom graduate who is passionate about helping people find their purpose, fulfill it, and build a life that they love.

Cost: Non-refundable preregistration fee of $25.00 per person, which includes a same-day $5 store credit for each registration. Each person needs to register and pay separately. Please DON’T show up without preregistering; it’s likely there won’t be room for you to attend. Sorry, childcare is not available. The store will open immediately afterward so we can help you personally.
