Pursuing the Socialization Backwardness

  Some people argue that competitive socialization is not necessary. They say that the ability to collaborate and work together is more important. But others argue that competition is needed by homeschooling children. I think both are right. The ability to work together is needed to live with others. The ability to compete is needed

The Glad Game!

  Let me introduce you to Pollyanna. Raised in a poor but happy home, she lost her missionary parents and is sent to live with her rich but mean Aunt Polly. The atmosphere of her new home is dreary and gloomy. However, Pollyanna brings joy and gladness to the mansion as well as the entire

Hey Mama Monday: Are You Patient, Mama?

  Hey, Mama! You gotta know this: they will utterly fail sometimes. Your children are a work in progress, so resist the temptation to think they have arrived. You are setting yourself up for disappointment or even anger if you do. Think about your own walk with the Lord. He is the perfect Parent. There

Hey Mama Monday: Mama, Should You Be a Referee or a Trainer?

  Do your kids squabble? Does it drive you bananas when they fight, non-stop? When they were babies, I just couldn’t wait for them to be big enough to interact and play with their older siblings. It would be so cute! They’d be best friends, and love each other, get along famously, and the older

Raising Heroes for Jesus

  Everyone in our culture seems to be obsessed with superheroes. Everyone talks about the movies and when the next one is coming out. I hear teens and children talk about superheroes as if they are real people. I have watched one or two superhero movies, and I walk away so disturbed by the character

Dealing with Disappointment

  How do you handle disappointment? Do you turn to God, and ask Him to make the situation better, to make you better? Or do you turn inward, and become bitter? Our children are watching how we handle our emotions, so it should come as no surprise when we see them imitate us. The Bible

A Pinch of Patience

  My kitchen is covered in powdered sugar. This is a result of my nine-year-old learning how to use the stand mixer while, at the same time, learning the meaning of the phrase, “add sugar gradually.” I’m trying not to think about how I will wipe the sugar dust from the lighting fixtures, and focus

Time-Out for Mommies

  I don’t know about you, but sometimes (okay, many times) I have to send my kids to a room or a chair to just chill out! It usually is met with protests, but as a general rule, works wonders to cool down tempers or make friends out of hostile siblings again. Lately, I’ve been
