Description
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.
