The FPEA Florida Homeschool Convention
is staged at a family friendly resort so that the weekend can be an adventure
for the whole family. We even schedule a few events specifically to entertain
children and educate teens. It is FPEA policy to let children accompany
parents because it is the only way some parents can attend. However, it
is not always ideal for your children to accompany you. If your children
become a distraction, you may miss some information that could benefit
them. For this reason, we encourage you to plan ahead for childcare. We
intend for the Convention to serve as many parents as possible
by providing excellent vendors and
a variety of home-education materials. Our exhibit hall reflects this intent.
Exhibit-Hall
Shopping with Children: Again this year, the exhibit
hall will have wide aisles to better accommodate carts and strollers, as
well as extended hours for your convenience. Children will be allowed into
the hall with their parents the entire time. Please note that only registered
attendees and their children may enter the exhibit hall (badges will be
checked).
Strollers
and Shopping Carts: Strollers are permitted in the Exhibit
Hall (except double-wides), provided there is a child in the stroller.
Shopping carts are permitted in the Exhibit Hall.
Notes
About Lectures
If lectures are crowded, children
must surrender their chairs to adults. Noisy children must be taken out
of lecture rooms; you may return to the lecture as soon as your child quiets
down. As an additional courtesy, please make sure to
set cell phones and other communication
devices in a silent mode.

Worldview 101
|
Children’s Program for Ages 5-12
Parents
are concerned with their children's spiritual and educational needs, but
what about the worldview they embrace? Research shows that more than 70
percent of Christian teens walk away from their faith after leaving home.
Most children need a worldview overhaul, and the sooner the better!
Achieving the
great American dream has become the great American disaster for many American
families. Most worldviews are based on assumptions and lies we've been
led to believe rather than on the Bible. It is imperative that our children
embrace a biblical worldview so that:
-
Their views of God, man, truth, meaning and morality will be consistent
with Scripture
-
They can develop habits of holiness
-
Their worldview can carry them through tough times
-
When they leave home, they don't jump ship
Worldview 101,
led by Don and Pat Wesolowski, is designed to challenge young children
to develop a biblical worldview. Workshops include basic worldview instruction,
as well as lessons in logic, public speaking, obedience, honor, truth and
media discernment. The fun-filled, action-packed classes with teen teachers
will keep your children entertained as they spend their days learning what
it means to live out a biblical worldview.
Don and Pat,
homeschooling parents of nine, have been organizing and teaching worldview
seminars for many years. They have discovered that teenagers make great
teachers, so the Wesolowskis’ own children, along with several other teen
teachers, do the majority of the skits and instruction in the program.
Registration
for the program may be done online while registering for the Convention.
