Getting Your Child Excited About Learning

Mothers too often use their busy schedules to excuse themselves from any mental excersize. But just as muscles atrophy without use, so a mind that is not excersized soon turns to mush. Continuing to learn new things will not only benefit your family by making you better equipped to fulfil your duties, but it will also send a message to your children that learning is not just something one is forced to do until they are old enough to do more important things. Here are three ways you can use "mother culture" to nuture your child's love of learning.


1. Set educational goals for yourself.
Think of something you want to learn and then make time to learn it. Your goals could include learning new skills or increasing your head knowledge. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Learn a foreign language
• Build a web page using trial and error
• Do a research project on that topic from the kids lessons that you wanted to know more
• Make a lapbook
• Learn how to sew, knit, etc.
• Take a photography class
  
  

2. Read something besides fiction (or the kids school books).
Consider these your "textbooks which can be read and reread for insight and encouragement. Here are a few of my favorites:

• The Hidden Art of Homemaking by Edith Shaffer
• Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentis (This is actually fiction, but instructional none the less.)
• Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs
• Christian Living In the Home by Jay E. Adams
• Instruments In the Redemer's Hands by Paul David Tripp
  
  Or, read something that will help you to reach the educational goals you have set for yourself.
  
  

3. Nuture your own curiosity.
No trivia is trivial when it provided the opportunity for a great educational experience. Children will naturally ask questions, but they will not always know how to get the answers unless you show them. A great way to do this, is by keeping track of those times when you say "I wonder . . ." and making the effort to actually find the answer.

Remember, learning is a lifetime experience. Enjoy the adventure!

Encouragement

Let's face it, life is hard. There are people all around in need of encouragement. But how often in life do we really take time to tell those around us that we love them? How often do we neglect the opportunities we have to be an encouragement to others simply because we don't know how? And yet, we as Christians are commanded to minister encouragement to others:

Therefore encourage each other with these words 1 Thessalonians 4:18

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life. Proverbs 10:11

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29

Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:25

One way my family brings encouragement is by lapbooking. Lapbooks for school are a great idea, but lapbook greeting cards are even more fun. On several occasions, the children and I have created special lapbooks for friends with wonderful results. Each recipient was touched because they could tell we had put some time into creating it for them. It had a personal touch that really showed our love for them. And we enjoyed making it because it gave us an opportunity to think about how much we really appreciate that friend.

If you're interested in making one of these oversize cards, there are plenty of free lapbooking templates available on the Internet. However, if you'd like something a little easier, you might want to purchase my newest product. File Folder Greetings: Encouragement is now available at Currclick and contains all the templates you'll need. And you can print it as many times as you want.
