About This Seminar

Perhaps you know a child who is just floating along the surface of each subject without really diving deep and mastering the content. Is it enough just to sit on the surface of the vast sea of knowledge? Explore ways to motivate your “surface learner” to go deeper into the content and truly understand it. If you have a child who seems to sink, learn ways to encourage him to renew his efforts and discover the abilities God has given him.
