Our most popular topic: activities to do with your children this summer.

This year, we focus primarily on activities that go with our 250 anniversary of Independence Day.

It was to Mrs. Elizabeth Willing Powell, a Quaker “hostess with the mostess,” that Benjanim Franklin said, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

Whether we have the intelligence and character to keep a democratic republic as opposed to some form of slavery is very much in question. What we can do as mothers is to be sure that our children know history and have some exposure to proper civics.

Every year one of  our most popular episodes is this one: what to do with your children during the summer. This year, I have listed 8 categories of things to do. Extend learning! Have fun! Have meaningful fun!

School is not organized to inculcate thinking, reasoning. Often History is given short shrift. Hands-on realia can not be had. And nothing in school is much fun.

Unless you are a homeschool family on summer break!!! And we are all homeschool families on summer break.

Please feel free to add your own ideas.

Today, we bring you some summer business projects for students, especially those with “learning disabilities.”

More ideas for the summer. Inspired by Richard Eberiga, we consider the idea of writing a book or starting a company over the summer. Yes! it can be done. Check out the idea. I think the greatest hurdle is the negative belief hurdle. Get over that, and show the student a few skills and great achievements can happen! This is practical faith for success.

While preparing this episode for posting, we discovered that Bishop Dr. Eberiga passed last summer. He was pastor of iFreedom Church in San Antonio, prophet, speaker, trainer, author. He was an inspiration and we mourn his untimely passing.

Presumably, for this reason, www.teenceo.org is no longer available. I hope that great lives in our listeners will be a great tribute for this great man.

This idea of Teen CEo is a particularly helpful direction for “learning disabled”  student, students who are tired of school, discouraged by the repeat drilling of skills they find difficult if not impossible, and the general mis-match between them and the culture of schooling.

As the end of summer is in sight, please spend some quality time with your children. Here are some ideas.

Soon, we will come up with some pointers on how to help your child think, learn, and sort out truth from lies.
Still, we have a document that helps you sort out what is true and what is false — in any situation. Simply use these 20 questions. To get it, simply sign up for announcements on the form beside this post on the right hand column of our website www.greatshalom.org. Fake emails are ignored.
