Not Done To a Child But For a Child
Pin It "Discipline is not something done to a child but for a child." After making this statement, Dr. James Dobson described the difference with a word story. You are traveling over a tall bridge.

Review: Do You Know What’s In the Bible?
Pin It Beanbags? Check. Double chair for Mommy and Daddy to snuggle? Check. TV and DVD player? Check. Popcorn? Double check.

Helping Children Understand Big Numbers
Abraham was 100 years old when Issac was born. And, when an adult thinks about this, eyebrows go up and pity starts to flow. But for a child, 100 years may as well be 1000 because time is abstract. The 4 Year Curriculum uses the story of Abraham and Sarah to teach patience. To help the child understand how old 100 years is a ...
