Child's Training Based From The Bible

How the education of the child should be left in the parents' hands. The principles and reasons for a Christian home-school is influenced by the child's training based from the Bible. As seen in all Christian homeschooling, parents teach the word of the Lord, to prepare their children for appropriate Christian wisdom, direction and values essential in their everyday life as well as when they reach adulthood.

This aspect of teaching is not found in curriculum of the public schools. Christian homeschooling are distinct for each family. Some accurately design their home to look like a "school", complete with textbooks, desks, flag salute, and yes, recess. Others make homeschooling a way of life, choosing not so much in utilizing workbooks, required texts and schedules.


Here, both children and parents learn through life experiences; teaching, learning and studying is part of their everyday routine instead of a closely controlled classroom setting. Whatever is each family's homeschooling setup, their objective is all alike, that of giving their children important information while at the same time imparting in them.

How to become critical thinkers and independent individuals that are aware and conscious of the choices they make. Families that homeschooling adjust its setting to fit both their philosophies and lifestyle. There is no wrong or right way to shape and construct an environment for their home Christian school.

Christian families make the most of all the limitless resources accessible, using the Bible, literature, home economics, nature and every living thing as their principal basis of education, constantly integrating teachings from the Bible in each subject matter.

Christian homeschooling allow the parents to impart God's Word to their child. It is an environment of spiritual and moral reinforcement through which kids are being trained seriously in the Word of God, mainly to act and think as Christians. Typically, the curriculum in a Christian homeschooling spends a meaningful and substantial time in the study of the Bible, wherein the focus is God's scripture.

Christians choose to home educate their children primarily because of their faith that God's plan is revealed through parents raising and educating their own children. In fact, Christians firmly acknowledge that it is the way of the Bible; there is no other educational system than this.

The Bible pages support by instruction, example and principle, a course that resembles closely home education. Christians actually accept that God did not even suggest schools to be attended by His people, that schools were a product of man.

Control Fatty Children Before They Over Weight

Are your kid getting fat, if they are begin fatty just control their food. As a parent, one issue that is constantly on my mind is that of ensuring my children are properly nourished. Fortunately, my children have the eating habits of J.R.R. Tolkien's hobbits, they eat at least three breakfasts before lunch. This gives me ample opportunity to ensure that their nutrition intake is set for the rest of the day. I am sure that other parents have the same concerns, though possibly not the easy time I have with feeding my kids.

Therefore, I would like to share some of the nutrition secrets I have encountered in my seemingly endless trips to the refrigerator to keep my little hollowed out munchers happy. The first secret is that nutrition is not a secret at all. Every container of food you buy has nutritional values listed on a label on the side. These values are very important in determining whether or not the charges of the stay-at-home parent are receiving all the vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein and the hundred other nutritional necessities that keep the mind of the stay-at-home parent occupied.


The next important secret is milk. Milk is the nectar of the gods. By making sure your kids drink just one cup of milk with each meal, you will have taken care of their body's needs for vitamins A, D and B12, as well as calcium, some iron content and even protein. Other dairy products also help fill these needs, so cheese and yogurt are also good add-ons for snacks or to meals. Breakfast foods such as oatmeal and most cereals are also chock-full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Sugar cereals should be used sparingly, as a treat.

There are lots of other ways to add some zing to a cereal that kids may otherwise think of as bland. Breakfast can also include fruit and juice, although too much juice in a day is bad both for a child's sugar intake and their teeth. Kids should be allowed some juice, though, and the new style fruit and veggie juice is ideal as it tastes just like regular juice but contains vegetable content as well and thus is a good equalizer for a child who is finicky about their vegetables.

Whole wheat bread is also very important to a child's diet. They will only think it is undesirable if a parent or schoolmate points it out to them. Whole wheat bread is brimming with nutritional goodness. Recent studies have suggested that vegetables bought frozen may actually be healthier than those cooked fresh. The freezing locks the nutrients into the vegetable immediately, and does not allow the leeching out that otherwise begins as soon as the vegetable is picked from the ground.

There are some foods that may seem like a good idea for a snack or supplement to a meal, but in fact they need to be avoided. Make sure that you know how the food you are feeding your kids is processed before considering it a healthy choice. Uppermost among these are dried banana chips. These little nuggets are actually deep fried, and just a handful contain more fat than fast food.
