All of these classes may be enhanced and improved by adding biblical themes to the study.  For example: "Agriculture Methods and Records" becomes the class "Agriculture Methods and Records in Relation to the Book of Ruth" or "Reading" becomes "Reading and Reflection from the Psalms"

Parents: YOU decide what you need your children to learn and not learn.  YOU as a parent know your culture and your need to study specific biblical themes.  If a person is under persecution, then simply study the bible alone and just teach basic life skills.  For those who follow betrothal marriage methods, feel free to allow the child to decide for themselves and in relationship with God to make marriage choices (16-20 age group) while continuing to encourage and enhance studies well into adult years.

Provision when times seem difficult....

If you have food and clothing for your children for the next couple of weeks, you already have a lot on hand.

If you have a shelter to live within, you have a protection from the elements of wind, sun, rain, snow, you are living in wealth.  Some families share a home.  Others live in a camper and children have the ability to spend hours outdoors among birds, animals and fishes.

Do you know that there are wild-foods available in many corners of the world?  Look up the wild-edible foods in your area.  Milk-weed, cattail, bark of trees......

Do you know how to bake your own bread?  Many people dream of getting flour to make a meal for their children.

Do you have a bible in your hand?  The bible will give you advice on how to manage your character so that you can manage a job.  Any job will do.  Janitor.  Waitress.  Cook.  Repair Man. Plumber.  Electrician.  No job is too small.  Think about weaving baskets.  Think about reselling bulk foods.  Think about sewing some clothes.  Think about reselling some recycled material into useful material.  You do not need a "degree" to work.

Can you grow garden?  Perhaps growing some sunflowers could benefit your family.  Nearly the entire sunflower plant is edible.

Is there injustice in your area?  Weep for those who sin in your area.  The false accusers.  The mockers.  The proud......

No money for the laundry?  Try learning how to hand-wash clothes.  It only takes one early morning a week to do laundry for a family of five.  Save money for a wringer.  Hand wring the clothes between rolling pins until affordable.  A simple tote or Tupperware trashcan can wash many clothes with a plunger as well.

Yes, you can educate your own children without a lot in your pocket.  Yes, you can educate your own children

Have you no books to buy to educate your children?  A simple slate and a little reading and reciting can go much further than the finest program on the internet or finest tutor in the world.  A notebook filled with the child's copywork and recitation shows much more effective learning than owning the finest textbooks.

Family Character Improvement Goals

Each family may approach "character" differently based on tradition, based on culture, based on experience and based on knowledge acquired.  One of the BEST things you can do for your family is WRITE DOWN ultimate goals your family should have in order to create listening ears, attentive eyes and happy hearts.

Some Character topics are discussed in NON-CHRISTIAN homes and are effectively applied.  It does not mean that Christianity and Christ's eternal presence is not needed in those homes, it just means that the general principles are taught.  Some NON-CHRISTIAN homes apply character principles for children better than Christian homes due to experience of suffering or other matters.

Here is an example of general Character rules that can be applied to any home, Christian and Non-Christian.

1. Use soft and kind words even if you can't solve a problem.  Kindly ask for help.
2. Find many opportunities to smile and be thankful for others.
3. Find ways to praise other's godly character, achievements and accomplishments.
4. Always use manners and be respectful of others and their belongings.
5. Always do right, even when others may not and when no one is looking.
6. Practice using listening/ empathy skills and understand how others feel.  Allow Holy Spirit to correct those in error along with # 24.
7. Be thankful for how you were created by God.  Find ways to honor him by obeying his word in that reguard.
8. Never mock, tease or put others down.
9. Never argue, complain or blame others for their behaviour.  Pray for them in secret.
10. Speak to an accountability prayer/partner (spouse or brother/sister).
11. Do not boss or try to take control of others or try to meddle into their business and privacy for selfish gain.
12. Clearly communicate how you have been hurt using the word "I" never "you" and stating the problem with kind words and actions.  Along with #9.  Approach anger in a kind manner.
13. Forgive immediately.
14. Look for ways to serve others with no though of self gain.
15. Think pure thoughts about self and others.  Put no stumbling block before those who are weak.
16. Put no wicked thing before your eyes.  Psa 101:3
17. Never, gossip, tale-bear or listen agreeably to those who speak reproachfully of others.  Only report truthful dangers.
18. Never raise a hand to hit.
19. Never raise a foot to kick.
20. Never raise an object to throw.
21. Never raise a voice to yell.
22. Never raise an eye to scowl.
23. Never use body or objects to harm or injure others in any way (pushing, spitting, bonking etc)
24. Never lift up nose to think pridefully of self as better than others in any area or subject.
25. Share toys/objects/activities.  Use or do one activity at a time.
26. Do your best to keep surroundings neat, clean and organized.  Clean up after your own mess.
27. Always approach daily tasks in a quiet peaceable manner without grumbling or complaining.  Organize and do things orderly.
28. Never let the sun go down on your wrath.  Don't go to bed angry or guilty.
29. Jesus first, other's second, yourself last.
