What my kids really need to know

In all my planning sometimes I have to remind myself of the important things. While the math and the grammar are important, they are not the end, but a means to an end. I made this list so I can always remember that these things are what really matter.

  1. Love of God and His Word
  2. Their reason for being here
  3. Reasoning from God's Word and its application to everyday life
  4. The pleasure of independent study
  5. The power of self-government
  6. Care and compassion for God's creation
  7. Life skills
  8. That life is precious
  9. The value of the past
  10. Love of learning

If I can provide the enviroment where they can absorb all of these, then I think my job will have been a resounding success.

The way I study and educate my children is the root from which these 10 things spring. The fruit comes when they incorporate these things into their lives. And what sweet fruit that is!

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in Truth. 3 John 4
