Mid Summer Fun!

Here we are, right in the middle of summer fun! How is your Home-schooling plans? My children are 2 years old and under. We have been working into their daily habits school fun. With toddlers you would be surprised at how much fun you can have teaching them their ABC's, the sounds of the letters, their numbers, pictures, animals, and more. My five babies love to learn.

You know, as you spend your summer, maybe a trip to the zoo, a fun day in the park, or whatever you decide to do, make it an experience that takes the opportunity to teach your kids about the world God created around them. Surprise, they will be learning. If you spend some time with them and teach them while you are having fun, you will find your kids will love to learn and come to know all about the things around them. They then can be taught that learning is fun!

Have you ever thought about how badly you would feel if you knew nothing about the world outside of yourself? Bringing kids into an environment that is outside of home, outside of just their world and showing them the greatness of God is important. Showing them in God's world and in His creation, means to go beyond self, and it His desire that it lead outside of each persons 'little space'! This will show your children that their is vast wonder to find outside of 'their' own understanding.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not lean on your own understanding..." Teach your children to lean on the Lord and to find out about all that He has created and done. Going after and learning about all His wisdom, His world, His ways, everyday of their lives! He is the author of science itself, math, creation, words, and... life! What a beautiful way to learn! "In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths!"

God bless~ His riches your way as you teach your children about His creation, His wisdom, His world!
