A few years ago, I wrote an editorial piece on things homeschoolers didn't do well. We've all heard about stunning victories by homeschooled students in the National Geography Bee, the Scripps-Howard National Spelling Bee, science fairs, essay contests, and goodness, even the Heisman Trophy. Isn't there anything homeschoolers find challenging? some might ask. Well, there…
At the reception following Max’s bar mitzvah, the 13-year-old’s father raised the toast, “Today you become an adult ... yeah, right.” Everyone laughed, including Max, but clinical psychologists Joseph and Claudia Allen found the contrast between the traditional ceremony and the modern reality very pointed. Their book, Escaping the Endless Adolescence: How We Can Help…
Several years ago, it occurred to us that maybe the teenaged years didn't have to be full of anger, rebellion, and sullenness. Just because we went through it or saw it in our friends growing up, does that mean it has to be that way? Is that what you see in the Bible? Through history?…

We're celebrating the official release of Raising Real Men with freebies and contests! I grew up in an entrepreneurial family and I have to confess that when we were first married, I thought it was great that Hal went to work and then came home and was done. Over the years, though, life as an…
Dear Friends, As many of you old friends know, our baby Katie has an electrical problem in her heart - when we found it when she was two weeks old, her heart rate was 278 beats per minute! We nearly lost her, but God graciously spared her life. Tomorrow she is having a dangerous, but…
One thing we hear all the time is how hard it is to get boys to "sit down and do schoolwork" and when I look back at the most effective learning we've done, it's been when it was hands-on, hearts-on education. Such as when we toured Civil War sites in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania on…
