This section of our blog will be dedicated to helping parents better understand natural childhood development patterns and the parental responsibilities in training children according to biblical principles.As a teacher and educator of preschool age children, mostly occurring in a state licensed facility, I was forced to educate and train children according to the “world view” pattern that our government deems to be the best way to educate.  This pattern of training was contrary to almost everything that I learned growing up and proved a great challenge to me because it actually involves little to no training at all. It is 99% child directed. The children in general choose what is best for them, what they want and how they want it. It is this type of training that encourages selfish behavior in our children. And I believe it is the reason that we are now living in a “ME” centered society.However, returning to the scriptures to guide me I have been able to compare the training that I received, to the “biblical world view” that I know to be truth, and gain some since of what true training should look like.It is in this truth that I hope to encourage other parents in their role as educator and teacher of the children that God has given them.
