Christian
homeschool families may see in the ministry of the Pearls (Michael and
Debbie) an advocacy for traditional values that the larger secular
world (and even some Christians) have repudiated. Some have finished
raising their children while others are just starting. It can be a
useful exercise to consider some of the difficulties that can be
encountered in trying to raise children to have traditional values and
resist the many corrupting influences in the modern world. We have raised our children and like most at our stage of life wish we had known more and done better. Like many, we were pretty ignorant, not even knowing what we didn’t know. We were open to taking classes like “Growing Kids God’s Way” and always looking for a nugget or two of information that we could use for our family. We relocated to a rural area when our oldest was eight. In addition to not knowing much about child raising, we also did not know much about gardening or animal husbandry. We did a lot of experiments and slowly over the years began to compile information (both agricultural and family) that hopefully will give our children a “leg up” over where we started. I wrote this booklet in an attempt to share observations that would have been helpful for us when we started our family and hopefully may contain a useful “nugget” or two for others who may be closer to the beginning of their journey. Since most people are born into and grow up in families, it might seem unnecessary to write about a subject that almost everyone assumes they know. However, since we live at a time when so much damage has been inflicted on families, it may be helpful to take a step back and look at the historical family, the damage done, and what steps might be available to undo some of the damage. To this end this book is written. Chapter
