Amish Children...pt.4
Posted in Simple Living
I am going to step out here and just say that we, as a nation - and I am guilty of this too, are letting our children run our homes. I take my responsibility as a parent very seriously. I believe I have said here before that my job is to train these children to become responsible adults that love the Lord. If I am letting them run my home, smart back to me and sit around doing nothing all day I have failed them. I love the following list. It is all about making responsible adults that can do for themselves and lead their own families someday. This is a short post because I believe these points speak for themselves.
Here are some of the things that the Amish believe about their children:
* Work alongside their parents
* Work as soon as they are physically capable
* They are taught to have responsibility
* They gain more responsibility as they grow older
* They are taught that work comes before play and that play is earned
* They are taught respect for family and church
There is a blog that recently shared some great stuff on routines in the family. The site is a blog of women (all related I do believe) called Girl Talk. It is a very encouraging blog!
Another site that has great information is Titus 2 with the Maxwells. It has some great resources for building schedules and chore charts for children and parents alike in the home. I am currently working on the chore book and the Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit.
The beauty of these resources is that you don't have to agree with everything to use some of it to make your home run more smoothly. I have gleaned a great deal from these resources.
Coming up...

Welcome to my home on the web! I am a 40 year old SAHM (14 years), homeschooling mom (8 years) and pastor's wife (18 years) who is embarking on becoming a chef/pastry chef, and starting a small business while my husband is teaching school, pastoring and working on his doctorate in ministry. We are busy, busy, busy... but I still make time to share all of that and more here. Thanks for stopping by and please come again... :)
