We have been using Bible verses to practice handwriting. This has proven to be a challenge to my daughter who normally doesn't complain about school work. However this week she has done nothing but complain!
How do you deal with a complainer? I've been spending a lot of time in prayer about how to deal with her and I have tried spending more time doing real life learning.
What do I mean my real life learning?
Well I have involved her in the daily life of a mommy. She has gotten to help pay the bills this week and she has gotten to write things down to see how a mom has to keep track of what comes into the household and what goes out.
Now some would say at 5 years old she is too young to know about finances. However I think it will help her to learn that money comes from somewhere and there is a reason she cannot have every Barbie, or baby doll she asks for. By allowing her to participate in this form of learning she will learn early on that we have a budget and that we must account for our money and be good stewards. This also gives me a chance to teach her about tithing.
So this week has been all about how to make sure the bills are paid and how to know when the bills are due and WHY we must work to earn money so that the bills can be paid.
From our Clan to Yours have a Blessed Day!
