Golden Nuggets from Starley
- “Prepare your child for the road ahead, but don't prepare the road ahead for your child.”
- Develop a Philosophy of Education (like a mission statement for learning)
- Her life education philosophy for her children was to teach them to be DEPENDENT on God, INDEPENDENT from the parents and INTERDEPENDENT on the family/others.
- Do not be the referee for your kids! Teach them to “work things out!”
- When under stress (from life or homeschooling) …take DEEP breathe and get your kids outside to run around the house and wear some energy off while you cool down.
- Work on developing the attention spans of your children to allow them to focus.
- Challenge your kids to THINK when they say “I don’t know”
- Foolishness is rejection of authority and is different than simple childishness (acting like a child).
- The dinner table is the most powerful place and time to TEACH things to your kids.
- “The mother’s heart is the child’s classroom!” Your example teaches the loudest!
- Your heart is your MIND (thinker), WILL (chooser) and EMOTIONS (feeler).
- “What gets your attention …gets you!” be careful what you watch or listen to!
