Healthy Bodies . . . Healthy Families

Health is forefront in the media these days. If we don’t take care of our bodies, they won’t take care of us, so to speak. Children of all ages should know what it means to be healthy. If they learn early, perhaps they can be spared some difficulties when they are older. New to SchoolhouseTeachers.com is Middle School Health with Misty Leask. This is a twenty-four week course that looks at topics such as personal hygiene, nutrition, fitness, emotions, and safety. Instruction is done primarily through links to various articles and videos. Each lesson concludes with several study questions along with room for the parent or student to add and answer additional questions as they choose. Special Needs Trenches with Renate Braddy is a series of monthly articles by the mother of a boy dealing with the volatile combination of autism, Tourette’s syndrome, and puberty. Its purpose is to encourage you, share with you, and remind you of God’s faithful love no matter how dark the day is you are going through. Renate’s insight and transparency as she shares her own struggles will help you to have a healthy family despite your challenges.
