Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about whether the Bible should be a part of education in schools as the Bible is one of the oldest documents in Western Civilization. Naturally, there are two groups: one that advocates the importance of this document and the other group that does not approve the influence of religion in the educational system. In order to explain this topic a bit better, we will include the essential, yet short, set of information about this document, as well as a
I enjoy the summer. It is a good time for family outings, more relaxed schedules (relatively speaking), and no homework. As summer winds down and Fall approaches, it’s time to turn our attention to school matters again. It’s fun—full of hustle and bustle. There is the excitement of new school clothes, getting those school supplies, and making sure all the school-assigned summer reading has been completed. And, then its finally here, the first day of school.

Sin is a reality of our lives. Without God’s love and forgiveness, the spiritually healthy family would be impossible.
Without God’s help, dysfunction is our only option.
Some dysfunction is the reality of living in an imperfect world with imperfect people, but it will be especially present when we omit God from our lives. Painful dysfunction comes when we choose to sit in the Direct

The challenge most parents face is trying to get their children eating healthy food. The subject of healthy eating is always a battle or a struggle between parent and child, and many times both parties become upset and frustrated.
The easiest way to get children eating healthy food is to start them young. Children form their eating habits before the age of ten. As a parent, focus on these formative years, and shape their eating habits early. Always serve healthy food in
What will make you feel successful as a parent? And how do you intend to reach your goals?
If your children get good jobs or even become wealthy, would you be satisfied? If they are popular and have many friends, is that what you want? Would it please you if they become influential civic leaders or politicians? Or would you be happy if they just grow up to be good citizens, have good health, good families, and live like most middle-class Americans? What do

Some women today think of family life as an unbearable drudgery. Many feminists tell women that they cannot find fulfillment by being wives and mothers, so instead they should leave home and pursue careers. It has gone so far that women who do stay home almost feel inferior and guilty.
But Titus 2:4,5 says that young women should be taught “to love their husbands, to love their children, to be … keepers at home.” Surely it is difficult for young mothers to stay at home and lo
The scientists compared to another group who live in Italy young people from a rural village in Africa and find a dramatic difference. African children have had fewer bacteria linked to obesity and more fatty acids that protect against inflammation.
The diet of African children was similar to that of people living in the modern Western world thousands of years ago. Of Italian children, only those who were still breastfeeding harbored bacteria like African children. the trillions of microbes liv
Store shelves are stocked full of school supplies, waiting for parents, guardians, and students to come in with their supply lists for the upcoming year. But for many, the thought of purchasing supplies can bring some anxiety.
According to a 2015 article in Idaho State Journal, the average cost for purchasing school supplies is $70. While that may not seem like a lot, if you have multiple children, those dollars add up quickly. What is a parent to do when the budget is tight, but the supplies

In plain speak: she gave her 3 sons a good ole’ fashion whooping.
NOLA- Schaquana Evita Spears, a Baton Rouge 30-year-old single parent of 6, was arrested for spanking her three sons because she had the tenacity to hold them accountable for their actions. Spears, abruptly left work after learning her sons-ages 10, 12, and 13 – had burglarized the neighbors home and stolen a hover board and some electronics. Spears, who gave them a good ole’ fashion spanking, was booked on child cruelty count

“Mmmmmmmmm,” my 2 ½ year old child exclaimed as she ate her pasta and vegetables. Her little legs swinging from the high chair, head bobbing back and forth with delight. “It good”, she said as she struggled to grab another spoonful from her bowl before she retired the thought and began to use both hands. She’s right you know, my food is “good” but I decided now was as good a time as any to expose her to some words besides, “good”. I began to interrogate her on how “good”

American teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 spend an average of nine hours a day using entertainment media, while kids between the ages of 8 and 12 spend an average of six hours a day doing the same.
This alarming news comes by way of “The Common Sense Census: Media Use by Tweens and Teens,” a report just released by Common Sense Media following a study that intended to show the broad picture of youth and their use of social media in the U.S.

There’s nothing I would love better than to sit down and tell my three boys all the right things do about money.
Unfortunately, just as is the case with every other lesson we provide, kids learn more from what we do than what we say. My boys are no exception to this.
If our words say one thing, but our behavior goes in the opposite direction, the kids will come away with our behavior but not our words. So how you behave with money will be the most important financial lesson that you can teach
 Families from a local home school co-op network enjoy a nature walk on Dykeman Trail. Pictured are, from left, Rebekah Kuriakose, Aliza Kuriakose, Talya Kuriakose, Eliana Kuriakose, Grace Gunnett and Naomi Gunnett. Families who choose to homeschool their children aren’t necessarily on their own. There are cooperatives that exist to help families in choosing a curriculum and generally making the most of their children’s education. One of those is the Extracurricular Co-Op started by Kendra Bur |
