It's Time for a Video Author Visit!

Our visit this month is with our New Classics founder (and award-winning author) Phyllis Wheeler. I had loads of fun talking to her about her middle-grade time-travel series, Guardians of Time, and especially her New Classics featured book, The Dog Snatcher. Click the image to enjoy these short, 5-minute videos!

Here are some lessons I have learned for those actively parenting and homeschooling:

1. Share our your thought and prayer life with your kids.
2. Have family devotions. If Dad isn't up to leading them, Mom should.
3. Ask a Christian friend to mentor your child in the faith.
4. Involving your children in acts of mercy and other good works is great, but no substitute for faith discussions.
5. Do not expect Sunday School and youth group to substitute for very personal sharing from you.
6. Do not expect a Christian school experience to substitute for very personal sharing from you.
7. Practice what you preach. Kids are on the lookout for hypocrites. Are you one, today?
8. It goes without saying, pray for their faith daily, and ask others to pray for them as well. Only the Holy Spirit can change hearts. A praying grandmother is wonderful.
9. Last but not least, give them uplifting books to read written by Christians. The best books, of course.
