Growing Kids God's Way (GKGW) is going good!
Week 1 Theme- How To Raise a Moral Child. We were implementing the importance of giving the moral reason why when we are telling the girls "no". This places the concept in their hearts instead of it being a one time event in their minds.
Key Principle- Without moral principles placed within the heart, the heart will not be stirred.
Our example for this week: Amelia decided to get breakfast for her & her sister while Mommy was busy on the computer ! :)- She put a biscuit on a styrofoam plate in the microwave for who knows how long? Madeline asked where hers was and Amelia said hers was burnt!! Once the arguing started I went in to referee and looked into the trashcan to find a plate with a hole burnt in it. Thank God she didn't eat the biscuit!!! So, this became a wonderful opportunity to explain "why" she is not old enough to operate the microwave by herself and how unsafe this was. Results: she has not been near the microwave ever since. :)
Week 2 Theme- Right Beginnings. The importance of the husband/ wife relationship is what our focus is this week. Our application this week is to have a date night and to have couch time for 15 minutes each day. I will explain these concepts at weeks end.
Key Principle- One of the greatest gifts parents can give their children is the confidence that Mom and Dad love each other.
Have a Blessed week :)

Wow, that easily could have been a lot worse. Thank goodness you were there and quick to react. Even though Jayden and Maya are little I try to teach them the words safety and danger. Jayden now thinks that a knife is called danger. "Can I use the danger pwees?" LOL
