Can You Understand Your Child’s Speech?
Posted by Melinda | 0 comments
When I heard the words “My ball died” coming out of the mouth of a preschool boy I was seeing for speech therapy, I tried not to show alarm. “Tommy” didn’t seem to be too upset, but he was clearly trying to tell me about something that mattered to him. I had not heard of any recent loss in this...
Autopilot
Posted by Jenny | 0 comments
On one very, busy day of mine recently, I managed to drive to my destination (which was a good half-hour away) while completely daydreaming. When I pulled up to park, I then realized that I didn’t even consciously drive at all, because I had no idea on how I even got there. How scary is that? I was on autopilot the...
How Unusual Days Make for Intelligently Unusual Kids
Posted by Debra | 0 comments
Our normal day includes reading aloud, math concepts, vocabulary exercises, a little writing, a little Bible discussion, science experiments, notebook pages and a big whiteboard checklist that guides us through everything in a day.

Are you constantly running around like a chicken with your head cut off? Do you spend most of your day running from one mess to the next, barely keeping up?

Posted by Lisa N. | 0 comments
I want to share with you a question that was paradigm changing for me. It is this: “What do you have in your hand?” What do you have, right now, that you can give, use, steward. This is the question God posed to scruffy sheep herder Moses after forty years of herding nature’s “animal most likely to accidentally kill...

Posted by LaToya | 0 comments
I recently mentioned to someone that I was planning to homeschool my soon to be 5 year old son. One of the first questions that she asked was what I was going to do with my 2 year old son.

Cultivating Possibility

I was alone with my youngest son on a blustery Wednesday, thought we were enjoying a dose of cozy silence until I notice the symptoms of boredom surfacing. Honestly, I assumed that the child’s pure imagination would entertain Søren so that I could tackle another never-ending stacks of work, but soon realized this was...
Nurturing a Passion for Medical Careers
Posted by Jimmie | 0 comments
Does your family have a budding nurse, a therapist in waiting, or a wanna be surgeon? We all know that children have a different answer almost every month to the “what do you want to be when you grow up” question. But if that passion for medicine seems to be long lasting, you may want to encourage it. Besides providing a...
Dealing with “Stuff”
Posted by Jane | 0 comments
I’m overwhelmed with stuff. Tubs full of craft supplies. Art supplies. Games. Learning toys. Boxes of books. Children’s books. Homeschooling books. Educational resources for years to come. It wasn’t always this way. A couple of years ago, when we lived in Mozambique, all that craft stuff fit in one...
