Today I will give you tips on how to choose childcare. I start with a hair-raising story from when I was 16 and started working in a nursery. The point was that parents never walked through the school to see what was happening. Do that. Today, there are regulations and a website with any violations. Check that. Check their policies on vaccines and accidents. Then go see it. Look for space, toys, books, cleanliness. Check out my stories. They will give you some clue. Think about whether you need ...

Yes, God wants to heal us. Including our children. Including that which has to do with learning and academics. Isaiah 53 talks about healing. Matthew 8:16 talks about Jesus healing. It is cleer Jesus cared about children, not just adults. And then Peter, direct disciple and respected apostle also talks about healing in 2Pet 2:24. Don't doubt. Just go after it. The biggest problem for healing of children is that so few adults think to ask about it. This episode is part of a multi-part series on w...

Okay, yes, academic success is not the highest goal ever. That is not what life is about. But it is helpful. And no point denying that. And God cares. Every child in our society should be able to learn, to read, to calculate. It is harder than ever. It is harder than ever to find good instruction. And children have more problems than ever. Well, God cares. God IS interested in Academic success. Here is a little talk about that. After that, I encourage you to have a chat with God about it. God ha...

Can I legally homeschool in my state? The people who can help you in any state is the Homeschool Legal Defense Association. Several years ago a representative attorney and founder of HSLDA called into the radio studio and told how he and others started HSLDA precisely because they realized that they needed to homeschool their children because of "learning disabilities." These lawyers wanted good education for their children. They realized they could not get it from the government schools. They d...

Labeling is a scientifically proven and powerful dynamic. Children live down to the labels that adults around given them. Teachers may even know this. However, schools, along with psychological professionals are the worst offenders. Who ever said that your child could not learn? But they did say the child was learning disabled. And studies in the 1990s showed that most teachers thought LD meant mentally retarded. We are not permitted to say MR today. But we say worse things. And that matters. On...

Dani Johnson, multi-level marketing expert, talked with us back in 2009 about grooming children for success. Wow! I had no idea how that work "grooming" would play years later. However, parenting is still pretty much the same. Dani and her husband have trained many many sales people in their organization. One way they do that is by giving them "scripts" or what I call "verbatims" -- to tell people what to say. That was my favorite part of the book. She tells us as parents how to say things to ou...

She Told Us in 2009 Dani Johnson, marketing expert, told us about how to beat pornography for children back in 2009. Porn for kids? Yuk! We listened, but we didn't understand how serious it was. She said marketers were in board rooms at that time figuring out how to addict children to pornography, because the male market was already maxed out. This was a beginning of the sad state we are in now. It will help show how to proceed. Today, we are in the Situation of Extended Battle Today, we have co...

Last episode I was giving your my observation of the discussion, the hearing at the school board about porn, yes actual pornography, in school libraries, yes, even in the elementary schools. So, I related the arguments on one side and on the other. Today, I finish up with this part of the discussion. Then, today, I will add some advice and/or suggestions for my friends who are against porn about how to best argue. I discovered that many people, whom you would think were well informed really ques...

I give you my observation of hearing at a local school board, in a mid-sized, conservative city about the inclusion of porn, yes pornography not educational material, in the libraries of the school, including even the elementary schools. One side argued against banning books, for trusting the experts, and mocked references to the Bible, which are common in the community. The other mostly read the material (this time without the mic being cut off) and pointed out the that school policy was still ...

"God Wants Total Well-Being for All Children" is my tagline, my slogan, my message. And it is true. Check out Isaiah 54:13: All your offspring will be taught of the Lord And great will be their shalom.

Many people who have been in Spirit Filled type churches will recognize the slogan "God heals, saves, and delivers." What does that mean? Healing should be obvious. Not jus tin the way creation was set up do things heal and regenerate sometimes, but also, we see miraculous healings. As far as I know God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the only one who heals. No one claims that competitor gods heals. Being saved seems to be a term used in the more eva...

We have been thinking a lot about Fauci and the plandemic and the harm of vaccines lately. Fauci's non-cooperation with the Senate is on the news. Some wildly arrogant reporter argues with the Secretary of Health and Human services -- much to her and her employer's shame. One of our last episodes was a round up of reflections on vaccines/immunizations and the decisions faced if sending a child to a school. It is painful. Most people are not mentally strong enough to be willing to connect all the...

Vaccines for the Start of School? What will you do? A round up of my thoughts and questions. The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment of The Constitution of the United States of America ensures that you should be able to get an exemption. Sometimes it takes working at it. Besides, you might want to ask other questions about the safety and efficacy of the government schools. https://rumble.com/v7dau9s-truth-be-told-remdesivirveklury-death-protocols.html?e9s=src_v1_mfp https://texansforvacc...

Continuation of interview with Dan Baze KFRE 580 AM in Lubbock, Texas. We agree we need some rethinking in education. We agree that Jesus might be a good model. We agree that we need character education. Okay, so what might be one practical application? Sharon talks about her ideas for a micro-school. How this idea came about, what it would look like, and who it might help. Especially younger children, who need a cozy environment, and might learn at a faster or slower pace in one area. So, now, ...

I was recently hosted The Dan Baze show on KFRE, a local prime time radio show. In this portion, you will hear a little introduction of me and my project. We cover Montessori, character education, colonial education, and the new measures of putting some Bible into Texas schools. We had a great time. Come and listen. Thanks so much to Dan Baze (insurance agent extraordinaire) for giving me this introduction in Lubbock, leader in homeschooling & private Christian schools. Yet, even in Lubbock, we ...

Here is our special for our 250 year anniversary. Things to think about in terms of your children's learning. How are manners and civics related? Character and government? These are things that we seldom think about today, but are vital. They were the root of the success of our culture and our nation. Yet, almost unknown today. Consider these videos and articles. Please watch them with your children (age appropriate. Young Washington and the Civilian Defense intro are bloody.) Then, consider enc...

Is it a good idea that parents teach civics? Shouldn't that be done by professionals? How is that working out for you? Deuteronomy 6 tasks parents with education. Even if you hire a private school or send your child to governments schools, still, in the end a parent is responsible. So, do we teach civics? Meaning ... the knowledge and training how to contribute to the common good by properly interfacing with the government. Let's consider that. What would civics consist in? The small child might...

Let's review the principles of the founders. Here is an introduction, a primer. (Not to be confused with the New England primer that taught reading.) Returning to and understanding of the basic principle's of the founders is of great need. 1. Rights are given by God, not government. 2. Governments are given the power to protect the citizens. 3. Citizen should be freemen who hold government accountable to the original principles. 4. For this reason, all citizens must be able to read, so they can ...

As a run-up to our 350th Independence Day, I thought it would be good to revisit some of our episodes related to that. Today: teaching your child civics. This vital education is entirely missing from our government schools -- intentionally so. Something else has been substituted: being a world citizen. Oh, that sounds great, but when you investigate, what has happened is an entire switch from Christian, American, community values. Even character training has been entirely erased. Instead of char...

What do humans need most? God. Okay, and then water. Want to keep health? Regain health? Help your child? Great. Maybe start with getting pure water. And btw, given the food system in the USA, alkalinzed water would be wise.

Our most popular topic: activities to do with your children this summer. This year, we focus primarily on activities that go with our 250 anniversary of Independence Day. It was to Mrs. Elizabeth Willing Powell, a Quaker "hostess with the mostess," that Benjanim Franklin said, "A republic, if you can keep it." Whether we have the intelligence and character to keep a democratic republic as opposed to some form of slavery is very much in question. What we can do as mothers is to be sure that our c...

Simon Okwayo has visited Austin a couple of times that I know about. The first time, I was able to prevail upon him to come to the studio. He told some stories of his childhood. Amazing. Now, he grew up in Africa, in a situation with a lot less material abundance than we in the States had then and have now. But he and his family were believers. And as a young boy, he moved out on that faith. Very surprising result. Very inspiring. And it turned out that he was indicative of his life's work. He i...

I will tell you how to teach handwriting in this episode. This conversation was kicked off by a Facebook discussion. As usual some mother was reaching out to ?? friends ?? about something she was concerned about. More than usual, she got a long list of really bad advice. So, will let you know. Then, will discuss other options: Testing, finding people who know, getting mentoring. Not assuming the standards of government schools, not trying to figure out an argument where both sides do not know wh...

Reject the Lie of "LD" - There are no "Learning Disabilities" there are only problems to be solved. There may be problems, challenges, and obstacles. We go over obstacles. We meet challenges, and we solve problems. Jesus is the Way the Truth and The Life. He is the way forward. He is the Truth as opposed to the lie. He is the Life, when the world would invite us to death. I notice that a lot of very successful men, with careers that require public speaking started out with "stuttering" or "speec...
