Join Our Book Study: Shepherding a Child’s Heart
The Tedd Tripp book was suggested in a comment in our ABC Jesus Loves Me Group. I wasn't surprised because it has been shared several times by our group members. Actually the premise of the book Shepherding a Child's Heart is the reason why the 4 Year ABCJLM Preschool Curriculum focuses on character education. Digging deep to ...
Pups of the Spirit: Helping Children Learn the Fruits of the Spirit
Two weeks ago on this blog we focused on the what, when, where, why, and how of Teachable Moments. Those God-given moments that provide the perfect training opportunity for our children. Many times the words "patience, love, and self-control" are part of the teachable moments in our home. These words are three of the nine Fruit of ...
Teachable Moments and Bible Stories

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from a lady who felt I could improve the layout of the ABC Jesus Loves Me website to make it easier to navigate. I kindly replied but didn't ...

How to Handle a Never Ending Meltdown
credit I found this post from January 2009. It was a good reminder of how far God has brought us. Bubs was just 5 1/2 years old at the time of this writing. Let me give you a glimpse into an afternoon in our life. Today at approximately 1:00 p.m., I gave Bubs a job to do. The entire job was something he does frequently and is age ...
Impressing Jesus on Them: What is the Purpose of Consequences?
On Wednesdays, our newspaper prints a column by Dr. John Rosemond. While I don't agree with all of his parenting advice (especially when dealing with children who have disabilities), our overall thoughts are very similar. High expectations for all children. Boundaries that prove the test of time. Unconditional love that has no end. Pretty ...
