Teaching Children About God - Children's Catechism Week One

There are thousands of resources available to help you teach your children about God. An old-fashioned way of doing it is to teach them Catechism, a summary of the principles of Christian religion in the form of questions and answers, used for the instruction of Christians.

I wanted to start teaching Little Guy Catechism, but couldn't find a printable, and didn't want to print off a whole long list. So here it is: My first printable!

I am going to be sharing one list of about five questions each week. Sometimes it might be a few less questions, because some of the answers are longer than others, and my son is only three. If you would like to get an email when I post a new one, please sign up at the top of the sidebar!

There will be two versions. One will have complete sentences for all answers and therefore be a little more difficult to memorize. A version with the traditional answers from the Catechism for Young Children, which includes some phrases and fragments, is also available. I am trying to teach my son to answer adults with complete sentences (which is harder than it sounds, for two reasons: One - when children are learning to talk, one word answers are not only accepted, but applauded. Two - I don't always model the best behavior, and this includes the way I speak) so I am continuing that while I teach him the truths of God.

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation. There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically. I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year. They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time. So they never really knew what to do with themselves. I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me. I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy. I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu

Things That Annoy Infertile Girls (or Maybe Just Me?) - Flashback Friday

This was actually one of my more popular posts when it was first published, but I still thought I would share it again. Any additions to the post are in pink, as usual :) Accidental Pregnancies - So I have been trying for years to get pregnant, you go slut around and accidentally get pregnant? Immediate Pregnancies - You quit taking your birth control last month and now you are pregnant? People Who Give You Retarded Advice - - Just stop trying and you will get pregnant - My friend adopted a baby and got pregnant right away, you should do that - Get drunk, people always get pregnant when they are drunk (Yes, they do. Because they are intoxicated and forget to take precautions.) Whiny Girls That Pretend They Are Infertile - Trying for 5 months is not suffering from infertility. It takes a year on average to get pregnant. I get that it might FEEL like infertility but it just isn't. After YEARS of trying, I can't even rememb

Training Children vs. Raising Children

In many conservative circles, parents refer to training their children. This term comes from Proverbs 22:6, which says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Almost unfailingly, when you get into a discussion on this topic, there is a parent that is appalled at the use of "training" on children. Nine times out of ten, they say "You train dogs, you RAISE children."
