Help for Self-Control Struggles

Hey, homeschoolers! Does your child struggle with self-control? Judging by the response to my session on self-control at the Great Homeschool Conventions, I'm going to guess that the answer for many is yes. Self-control is an overarching concept that includes emotion management and control of what we say and do.

What are you teaching your kids about heaven? As believers, we want what we teach to be biblical, but which aspects of heaven should we emphasize? Listen to the podcast Watch on YouTube I chatted about this topic with former guest Jordan Raynor, who has authored a new...
