Want to get kids to say "yes"...instead of begging, negotiating, and pleading? We want what is best for them, and so should they. So why don’t they understand us? Because we talk to them in the wrong color language. Kids view the world in different ways. Once we know how they view the world, our words get through. Get through? Yes. Instead of our words bouncing off their foreheads and scattering to the floor, we can learn which way they view the world. Once we know this, we can use secret words that help them listen and understand.

Homeschool days can be long and hard. Even when we lose our vision, God does not lose His. While we attempt to teach and disciple our children, we find that it is ourselves needing the instruction and discipleship. We also find that God provides both, using our decision to homeschool to draw us closer to Himself. To continue with love and perseverance, we need confidence not in our work, but in God’s. These 30 readings will lift up your eyes and spirit so you can focus on what truly matters while doing the daily work of educating your kids.

By the time Sally learned how to advocate for him, it was—almost—too late. Told through the eyes of a parent who started out by doing everything wrong, Wild Things is about how we can help all kids find the joy in reading.
