Parenting and Homeschooling

I have 2 daughters, ages 8 and 10. They love God with all their heart and love to worship! They know that Jesus Christ died on the cross for them and that He is, and forever will be, holding His arms open for them to run into. We discussed if they wanted to be referred to as aliases or their real names and this is what they agreed on... Nerdy and Cutie! lol

Nerdy is 10 years old. She loves to read, dance, write, play on the computer and play the violin. She is my sensitive and "please everyone" child. She is very compassionate and doesn't like to see anyone upset. She will let a lot of emotions pile up until she loses her cool.  We are teaching her to speak about her emotions at the time of the incident and not allow things to build up.

Cutie is 8 years old and loves all animals! Her hobbies include drawing, singing, and playing her guitar. She has an extra spoonful of emotions. She is very loving, cuddling, and caring but she can flip from happy to upset without much prodding. She has a temper, but she is learning to control it. She can also get her feelings hurt by something as simple as a joke.

As a child I was like Nerdy where I had to suppress my emotions and was unable to discuss them. I remember my brother purposely nagging and nagging me until I would blow and he would just laugh at me. My husband was more like Cutie where, even being a guy, he was sensitive and hot tempered at the same time.

We will be discussing parenting topics and suggestions that we have learned from parenting books, parenting workshops, and hands on experience!
