someone to educate and care for their kids and trust that the school
and teachers have their child’s best interest at heart. Public school
parents may argue that the school is offering highly trained, dedicated
and educated professionals who know what is best for all kids.
Whatever your educational setting, you should still be advocating
for your child. What this entails will be based on things such as your
child’s needs, personality, learning style and social skills. All parents
need to monitor their children’s physical, mental, emotional, educa-
tional and spiritual health. A homeschool parent may need to find
outside help for learning disabilities, outlets for social development or
classes that kids can take in subjects that they are either interested in
or in which the parents do not have a working knowledge. Both pri-
vate and public school parents needs to pay attention to each child’s
successes or struggles in school, as well as their relationships with her
teachers and peers.
But it doesn’t end with school. Managing their involvement in sports,
church, scouts, lessons and other activities is also important. We also
need to be careful not to overlook things, such as their nutrition and
the amount of rest they get in a 24-hour period.
I know, this sounds crazy. You’re probably thinking, “Hmmm, isn’t
that what parenting is?” Well, you’re right to an extent. As parents, we
feed and clothe our children. We take care of them and care about
how they are doing on a daily basis. What I am talking about is a

Looking back on things, I am so glad I am a scrapbooker. I
cannot tell you how many times we
have said to our children, “Remem-
ber when we did so and so?” only
for the them to reply, “No.” At least
with a scrapbook, I can pull it out
and say, “See-here is a picture of our
adventure and you were having fun!”
There were certain things and places we wanted our children to
experience. We had to purpose to experience those things or to
travel to those places. Isn’t that same point true of life?
As we travel down the road of life we have a goal of having
contentment in our lives. Theoretically, this ultimately results
in a contented family. In the Old Testament it says we are to
love God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our
might. It goes on to say we are to diligently teach our sons and
daughters the word of God at home, out and about, going to
bed at night and rising in the morning. To teach the word of
God to our children, we have to know the word of God. If you
haven’t picked up your Bible in a while, pick it up and revisit
some of your favorite verses. Or perhaps you remember a fa-
vorite verse of a grandparent. Read it to your child and share
the memory with them.
Blessings, Missy
