Guiding Principles

1. Your relationship with your child is far more important than any particular issue.
2. Children are little people.
3. Children are a blessing from God.
4. Children learn and develop at different speeds. In general children learn formal school subjects better later than earlier.
5. Playing is learning. When children are playing, they are learning.
6. Patience equals love. Impatience equals hate. A patient parent never needs to spank a child.
7. Innocence should be honored, cherished, and protected.
8. Parents, and especially father, should be the strongest influence in their child's life.
9. Little children should spend all their time with their parents and brothers and sisters.
   Children should not be left with strangers. If there are activities with anyone else, a parent should always be there too.
10. Home education (home schooling) is the most superior method of education.If you can legally do so where you are, you should try for this excellent form of education for your children. Here is a partial list of famous home schoolers
