| "The education of children for God is the most important business done on earth. It is the one business for which the earth exists. To it all politics, all war, all literature, all money-making, ought to be subordinated; and every parent especially ought to feel, every hour of the day, that, next to making his own calling and election sure, this is the end for which he is kept alive by God--this is his task on earth." --R.L. Dabney |

Attention mothers: if you read only one article on this website, please
read this one.
This article has probably had a greater impact on me than anything else I've
ever read regarding my role as a mother.
It very well could be the most important article on this page and,
if followed prayerfully, will help you avoid many of the pitfalls discussed
below.
Disclaimer:
Some of the following articles
were written when the author was still rather a novice
at this parenting task, having had "only" four or so children at
the time. As the years
have passed, she would probably modify them a bit here or there.
Maybe, given time, she might go back and update some of them.
In the meantime, read with discernment and check copyright dates.
