Teaching Principles

My friend Renae over at Life Nurturing Education, wrote a great post about teaching Biblical Principles in mathematics (this is not your public school "math"!), and this really touched me:

"Using the stones from my soul, I draw my little ones close. Which stones are the most effective, the most powerful? I don’t know exactly, but I suspect it’s the brightest, smoothest, and heaviest. In my worn leather bag that stone is love: love for my children and love for the creation of God. It is the foundation stone. Everything else will build on that."

I really wanted to share it, because I want to remember it myself! I'm afraid I've gotten a bit too lax in the "teaching" aspect of math, having come to a point in our RightStart (which we love) where there is practice and mastery; not much new, and the ability for son to do it on his own.

Oh! the challenges! May they never cease.
