| Article Title :: Planning Your Homeschooling Effectively - Auto Recovery |
| |
| Many parents make the decision to homeschool their children, and in doing so are privy to some clear benefits. Homeschooling allows you to tailor a specific education to your child's individual needs, something that is often lacking in the public or private school systems. Homeschooling also allows you and your child to learn together, creating not only a valuable learning experience but strengthening family bonds. Add to this the fact that it is often prohibitively expensive to send multiple children to private schools, and we can see why homeschooling has become increasingly popular.One of the most important aspects of homeschooling your child is coming up with a clear plan and s (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Child Discipline - The Difference Between Discipline and Punishment |
| |
| Child Discipline is the cornerstone of creating a happy, healthy home, but most parents don't know the difference between discipline and punishment. What is discipline and how does it differ from punishment?First, let's take a look at punishment because this is what most parents use at home. Punishment involves blaming, shaming, screaming, spanking, slapping, ranting and raving in order to make a child compliant. Although these techniques may temporarily stop a child in his tracks, they do not teach him how to make good choices, feel good about himself or grow into a moral human being.On the other hand, child discipline is about guiding a child to make healthy choices on his (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Should You Coach Your Own Kids In Sports? |
| |
| If you have a child, you should ask yourself: Is it a good idea to coach my children’s teams, or should I leave the task to someone else?I’ve been a Little League manager, I’ve coached soccer and basketball, and I’ve written a book about my experiences: 101 THINGS PARENTS SHOULD KNOW BEFORE COACHING THEIR KIDS’ SPORTS TEAMS. (Contemporary/Mc-Graw-Hill: 2000)Whether you should follow in these footsteps depends on you, your kid, the sport, the parents, and the league.You should consider six factors before you take the plunge, or are pushed into the water by other parents who want you to do it, saying they desperately need your help.(1) Do you have the t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Value Can't Be Priced |
| |
| I love to open up our home to entertain family and friends. It brings me great joy. My kids love to have friends over to laugh and play with as well. And I love observing them.It is very clear to me that when our children go into someone else's home they show what they have or have not been taught in their own homes. One thing I notice very often among the younger children is whether or not they have been taught to care for their things. I have seen two children come into my home and within a matter of minutes; every toy they can find is strewn from one end of the house to the other! I have also had a house full of children with hardly any mess at all!The Difference? The dif (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Man of the House |
| |
| Moms have a great deal of responsibility within the home. There is no question that a home will only run smoothly if mom is on top of her game in her organization skills and if she radiates the warmth and gentleness her children need.
Yet as vital as mom is, dad is vital too. He is vitally important in the children’s daily lives and in how he relates to his wife as a spouse.Children need a strong father figure. Dads like to play with their children and are so good at being the “fun one” when mom is left to relegate the yes and no’s most of the time. But there are some areas that get neglected by fathers in their quest to spend time with their children.Dads need (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Creating Superfolk |
| |
| We learn our parenting skills from our parents, friends and neighbors. Our examples are often poor ones that damage us. We pass the damage along to our children and their children quite naturally and we effectively handicap our children.We can't teach them what we do not know and we know very little when we become parents. We have been taught to know only what professionals and authorities tell us. They are so often wrong about what they know, when we believe them, we accept their errors as truth. Then we are in error and we pass those errors on to our children, who believe them to be true when they become parents. To become good parents, we must know things on our own, beyond the (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Creating Superfolk II |
| |
| To understand how we have all become believers of lies and disbelievers of truth it is helpful to discuss a global economic system that is over three thousand years old and based on merchandise. That an economic system is based on merchandise is not surprising. We do not expect one based on prayer or education. What is surprising is how few know about it and what it implies.Chapter 18 of the book of Revelation in the Holy Bible describes the fall of a power called Mystery Babylon the Great. This chapter lists the merchandise of Babylon in descending order of market value. The world we live in today is the result of this value system. At the top of the list we find gold, silver and (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Creating Superfolk III |
| |
| "Our lives are gifts from God. What we do with our lives is our gift to God." I have seen this expression on wall hangings and I think it a very useful and positive sentiment to hold. If this sounds right to us, it then stands to reason that our children are also gifts from God and what we do with them is our gift to God. Our mission and purpose in the parental role would seem to be to maximize the value of our gifts. If we would tell ourselves each day how blessed we are to have the children we do, or may have some day, we see our duty to them quite clearly and we live this core belief.When we love our children, all children in this way, we increase their value far beyond gold, si (read full article) |

| The same tools parents can use to better know and grow theirselves, work for children. Once we have a birthdate for baby, we can do a numerology chart. In fact, we can use these charts to help name baby, because one's numerology is determined both by birthdate and full name at birth. It may seem a foolish thing to choose a name that will affect the nature of a person, but a study of numerology will demonstrate our names make a difference; one that may allow better family planning. Even if we don't believe such things, it is a healthy idea to be planning for baby's future before baby arrives. We are adding value to baby, which is the best thing we can do, if we don't want to add slaves to (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Good Life |
| |
| I don't believe the good life could have been mine except for the grandparents I chose. They were not perfect by any means, but they were very intuitive. Somehow their parents, neighbors and peers did not discourage the imagination they were born with and they further developed it over the years. So we can say I am the child of imagination. All my grandparents married in their late twenties. During years of courtship they settled on matters of career, home life and common interests. By the first night of each honeymoon, both pairs had become passionate about raising the greatest children in the world. Both pairs succeeded. They later explained to their children why they were so successful (read full article) |
