Children Were Meant to Play

Children Were Meant to Play

In kindergarten, I remember finger painting and playing outside a lot. We would sit on the rug and listen to the teacher read us stories but it was mostly games and fun. Compare this with most preschools and kindergartens today that push academics on very young children. This is about the worse thing you can do for them. They were created to run, play, and create as young children, not be stuck in a chair all day and using fine…

Hmm, Children are Thriving Being Home With Their Mothers

Hmm, Children are Thriving Being Home With Their Mothers

The government has mandated God’s will for women and children. Mothers are home full time with their children and many mothers are now homeschooling their children. No one could have predicted something like this happening. All I know is that God’s ways are best. It’s best for mothers and children to be home with each other. God has ordained mothers to raise their own children. There’s an article in the New York Post called “Coronavirus is providing the course correction…

The Home is the Nursery of a Nation

The Home is the Nursery of a Nation

Written by Darrow Miller in Above Rubies Magazine One thing a woman is especially designed to do is nurture the next generation. Woman, in the very fiber of her being, was made to nurture. In our modern materialistic culture, things are more important than relationships. The woman’s ability to nurse and nurture a child has very little cachet. As a result, families are dissolving. Children may be provided with things but know little of a mother’s nurture. We are reaping…

The Heartbroken Career Woman

The Heartbroken Career Woman

This post contains notes I took from a video by Jennifer Morse from “The Ruth Institute.” “We must clean up the mess from the sexual revolution. These are the victims of the sexual revolution: 1) Children of divorce (no-fault divorce); 2) Reluctantly divorced (One party doesn’t want to get divorced but the government sides with the one who wants the divorce.); 3) Donor conceived persons; 4) The hook-up culture; 4) Heartbroken career women. “The heartbroken career women have it all:…

Activities While Being “Stuck” at Home

Activities While Being “Stuck” at Home

We all are stuck at home right now. This is a new concept for many people. For many years, I was stuck at home since I was so sick but now we all are choosing to be stuck at home to try and prevent the spread of this virus. Many mothers who work full time away from their homes are experiencing something they’ve never experienced before – being home with their children 24/7. I asked the women in the chat…

The Danger of Smart Phones For Your Children

The Danger of Smart Phones For Your Children

Written By Karen Sargent in No Greater Joy Magazine I read an article yesterday that should be required reading for every parent. It was written by a young mom, Sloane (not her real name). She works with an organization called Bark, whose sole purpose is to protect children from online predators. Her story is chilling. In the article she recounts a typical day in her work with Bark. They start with a photo of Sloane wearing clothing a pre-teen would…

Mothers are Everything to Their Children

Mothers are Everything to Their Children

“The prescribed cure for the problem with no name was for women to go to work and begin having more abortions. Politicians obliged with the demanded policies, and companies began to accommodate. So today, married couples both work. Their children are in day care from the time they are infants — at a huge cost in both money and family cohesiveness, and the couples hope the nursery will care for them safely and properly. “The two salaries together equal about…

Your Experience Doesn’t Negate Fundamental Truths

Your Experience Doesn’t Negate Fundamental Truths

Someone wrote “Children need both parents” above an article on Facebook the other day and some women went ballistic! One woman wrote, “This is a blanket statement. There are parents whose presence hurts their children. Millstones.” Another wrote, “I can attest to the fact that kids do not need both parents. My Dad raped me. And was incarcerated in 2009. I don’t need him. He has just caused pain. My mother has provided sufficient support and love to me and…

We Were Strict Parents

We Were Strict Parents

We were strict parents. Many told us we were too strict. We disciplined them diligently when they were young. They needed little discipline after the age of five. We were careful who they hung out with. We were careful what TV shows and movies they saw. We had a curfew even through high school. I think it was 10:00 pm. We didn’t allow our children to date before 18 years of age. They could hang out with friends in a…

Preventing Rebellious and Broken Children

Preventing Rebellious and Broken Children

On the “Happiness Hour” that Dennis Prager has every week, recently he asked the question, “If you have a rebellious or broken child who is an adult, looking back, is there anything you would have done differently?” One woman called in and said she would have been careful to not allow her daughter to hang out with the wrong crowd but since she was a single mother who worked full time, she didn’t feel she could do anything about it….
