Homeschool Prayers for the Training & Discipline of Children

              As a homeschooling mom one of my biggest challenges is wearing both hats, Teacher and then mom.  Yes people would say they are one in the same but for me they are a little different.  While  wearing these two different hats I have to stay in prayer about how to discipline them.  Here is a prayer I found that has really helped on my journey. 

    • To Diligently Train Your Children Father, we determine to train our children in the way they should go, knowing that when they are old, they will not depart from it. Help us to keep Your Word in our minds and hearts so that we mayteach and impress them diligently upon the minds and hearts of our children. We will talk of them when we sit in our house, when we walk by the way, when we lie down, and when we rise up. Thank You for Your gracious help. In Yeshua's Name, Amen. (Pr. 22:6 KJV) 
    • To Tenderly Correct or Discipline a Child Father, Your Word says, “A refusal to correct is a refusal to love; love your children by disciplining them.” I ask You to help us to always reflect Your love to our children, continually showing them forgiveness and mercy. Help us to raise them in the tender nurture, training, discipline, counsel, and admonition of You. In Yeshua's  Name, Amen. (Pr. 13:24 KJV, Eph. 6:4 AMP)

But our idea of what is best for them might not always jibe with their ideal’s.   I am often in a battle with myself over gentle nudging and helping them with what personal decision they think is correct, trying to find that delicate balance between encouraging and pushing too hard. The question I am always asking myself is: Am I pushing too hard? At its best, getting kids to do things that are challenging for them will teach them grit and flexibility while also widening their world view — whether it’s participating in sports, trying out for a new class or engaging in a new social situation.  But at its worst, pushing children too far can cause them to retreat inward, become resentful or develop even greater anxiety and prolonged fear a

My struggling Reader!

So I've taken full ownership of my struggle (as I am sure many of you have), I wear it like a badge of shame a ugly cape for a very unsuccessful super hero.  I believe it is my fault that my daughter is not reading yet that at 8 she is not a strong reader.  I truly believe that there must have been something I could have done to help her get it better,  I go back and forth with the fact that maybe if she was in school with a real teacher helping her she would be a strong reader by now,,, I read somewhere the other day that "Struggle" shows that something is going on....Me being me I went and looked up the word struggle with new eyes.. Struggle is a verb It implies action It implies effort It implies giving all you've got. So I've come to understand that what this word means for me is that I'm not growing comfortable, that good enough is not enough for me.  That I am moving forward....  I am going to let up on myself and understand that eventually she will
