Encouragement and Support for Christian Stay-at-Home Mothers
Teaching a child to sleep on their own has been a lifesaver for me! I feel even more strongly about it now, after we were blessed with our 7th child.

Recent provocative articles about parents striving to help their children get a head start in life have been published by the newspapers. There was Amy Chua’s Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior which appeared on WSJ.com, and before that an article about parents queueing up to get onto the waitlist of a reputedly top-notch preschool. And even further back there […] Read more…
