The Christian Mama's Guide

The Christian Mama's Guide To The Grade School Years by Erin MacPherson

About The Book:

This book prepares moms for the time when their school-aged kids take their first few steps into the world and away from mama's nest. Sending a child off to school is a whole lot more than stocking up on school supplies and packing a (somewhat) healthy lunch. This helpful guidebook walks Christian moms through: discovering a long-term vision for the person that Christ has purposed for your child to become, instilling a sense of "who I am and where I came from" in your child, choosing a school for your kids, helping your kids to develop key attributes - courage, kindness, perseverance - that lead to success in school, dealing with teachers, sports, and lessons, navigating those difficult conversations that will come sooner rather than later, a special feature includes sidebars "From the Principal's Office" with insights from a 35-year elementary school principal and educator. Moms will learn how to cover their children in prayer so that their launch into the world, and away from her control, is done with grace and wisdom - helping them grow into the men and women God intended them to be.

My Thoughts:

This is a great book! Callan starts Kindergarten next year, so it will be a new adventure for us both. This book is in a series, three previous books being about pregnancy, baby, and toddler. I have not read those books, but I wish I would have, especially if they are as good as this book was. Good advice for parents - Christian or not.
