CFHS Chronicles

1.7 Teaching Jealousy

Unchecked sibling rivalry is a seed that will grow and bear rotten fruit in adulthood. While our children are young, parental favoritism, boasting, and a lack of godly and healthy "refereeing" of those fleshly tendencies are a few opportunities to be vigilant and ready to respond. Who can stand against jealousy that produces embittered and deeply insecure adults? Join AC as she highlights what God says about this matter, what the world will tell our children, and how she and Hubby give their children aim and security.

1.5 Family Court

Family court is our way of holding our children accountable for their actions at age-appropriate levels without taking away from the joy of learning, character-building, and family fun. Join us as we highlight how the wise King Solomon judged between two harlots in Scripture, compare and contrast how the world will treat its own, and the Clark Family's creative way of acknowledging poor behavior while having fun through family court proceedings! 

1.6 Story Time

When our children cut up, act out, and misbehave, we have a choice, parents. Match their folly or tell them a story!  Redirecting the negative attention-seeking behavior and unwillingness to obey our parenting is a telltale sign {pineapple!} for us as parents to show them their folly through the lens of Scripture. Join AC as she tells a story of how wandering away from purpose, being off mission, and disengaged as parents will lead our children towards repeating our folly. Tell them a story!

1.4 A Mother's Influence

There is a misconception that homeschooling is simply an alternative choice to public and private schools. Generations of parents habitually pass their children over to the culture and systems with no regard for foundational home training. As a result,  children are woefully ill-prepared for adulthood. AC highlights the incredible power mothers have as primarily female influencers in the home, what it looks like to break generational patterns of abdicating a mother's influence, and reengage with our children.

1.3 Language Learners

Life and death are in the power of the tongue. The same instrument we use to pour into our children and build them up can also kill their spirits and tear them down.  Blessing and cursing can not come from the same mouth. Teaching our children the implications of what comes out of their mouths and how followers of Christ should use the instruments He's given us should be a priority when training children at home. 

1.2 He Brought A Sword Y'all!

Our children are young for only a brief season. We have a small window of time before they become adults to teach, train, and prepare them to go out as sheep among wolves. Our role as parents is to introduce them to sin, how it corrupts relationships, and prepare them to navigate the effects of sin on a fallen and broken world. 

1.1 Make Family Your Business

This season's primer episode is all about making family your business! AC outlines how she and her husband set the standard for teaching and training their children at home. The Clark Family Home School (CFHS) is all about instilling good old-fashioned character building, knowing God's Word, and preparing their children for adulthood.

The Clark Family Homeschool Chronicles is an extension of ACv Family Talk. Dive deeper with AC as she chronicles the seasons of motherhood as a wife, mother of five, and full-time educator at home. She shares what it tangibly looks like to instill good old-fashioned home training and character-building into her children. From discovering how your children are wired, homeschooling with purpose, equipping leaders, and getting the Word into our children's hearts, it's all under the umbrella of training children at home. The common goal is to be good stewards of the gifts God has given us.
