By:-Joyce Swann
Freedom is never simply bestowed without effort on the recipients. The freedom to homeschool was won through the efforts of many homeschooling pioneers.

By:-Joyce Swann
If we want our little boys to grow into men who are faithful church goers, we must make certain that they grow up knowing that the church needs bold men of God who are willing to take the lead in teaching, decision making, and protecting the flock.

Today it is especially hard to know how to be a "good" mom. Child psychologists, educators, and church leaders all have their own definitions of what constitutes an outstanding mother.
- Preschoolers Are People Too - Discipline For Children
By:-Joyce Swann
The Bible promises us that if we will "train up a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6) That should be the goal of all parents—to train their children so that when they are adults they will continue to live their lives in a manner that glorifies God and is an asset to society. Training, however, is multifaceted and takes a great deal of time on the part of the parents. Last week we discussed training for babies; this week we will discuss training for older children.
- Preschoolers Are People Too: Discipline For Babies
By:-Joyce Swann
When we hear the word "discipline," most of us think of spanking, grounding, sending a child to its room, withholding a privilege or some such similar action. Yet, none of these is discipline. They are all important because they are part of the punishment phase of discipline, but in and of themselves they are not discipline.
- Preschoolers Are People Too-Be Respectful
By:-Joyce Swann
Your preschoolers are vitally important to the success of your homeschool. Every day let them know that you are counting on them.

- Why I Love Texting
By:-Joyce Swann
fact, I would have to say that texting was a major contributor to our success and soon became my new best friend. No, it was not the kind of texting that kids do using their big thumbs on teeny tiny keyboards that send weirdly coded messages to itty bitty screens. It was the kind of texting that saved us many hours and made our school day much more efficient.
- Get Real
By:-Joyce Swann
Many people assume that homeschools have little, if any, real structure and that homeschooled students are allowed to study only what interests them and to do so on whatever schedule suits them. Unfortunately, there is some basis for people having this impression of homeschoolers, and it has led to many parents applying this line of thinking to their homeschools. I am, therefore, writing this blog to offer some insights into how to make your homeschool “real.”

- Prayer For Sick Children!

- What Is America Teaching Her Sons?
By:-Joyce Swann
America must teach her sons that God has never accepted a double standard. He expects purity and faithfulness from both men and women. Until we have men who are willing to live by God’s laws and provide an example to others, our nation will not be healed. We had better start teaching our sons that God’s rules are, in the end, the only ones worth embracing.

- Tiger-mom: Rearing Kids The Asian Or American Way
By:-Kevin Probst
Amy Chua wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal comparing the Asian and American methods of child-rearing. The article went viral and caused quite a storm as opinions from both schools have been posted. I agree with much of what Amy wrote but these are reasons my five-year-old will not have a Tiger Mom.
- When Is The Right Answer The Wrong Answer
By:-Joyce Swann
Whether you homeschool or not, if you have children you probably supervise their homework. I want to encourage you to take the time to find out not only what your children are thinking but why they are thinking it. It is easy to become impatient and provide a “correct” answer that is obvious to you. However, if you take the time to find out why you little student is coming to a different conclusion from that of the textbook, you may be pleased to discover that his answer is the right one after all.
- Who's Your Favorite?
By:-Joyce Swann

- Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice
By:-Barbara King
In the bible God says "obedience is better than sacrifice". I read that all the time. I thought I had a grasp on it until we started walking down this road again with the second transplant. God really has given me such a clearer picture of that statement and I want to run out of the room and say "no more!".
