As parents it's up to you what you find allowable media content in your home and for your family. Always be mindful of who your children are allowing into your home via the Internet. There is lots of good material out there and then there is even more that is lurking out there to harm the hearts, minds, and souls of our children. 

Keep watch and be vigilant in keeping your children safe.

They share the good, the bad, learning opportunities and discussion topics to have with your children and teens. While you are on the site check out Adventures In Odyssey, a great radio drama series for those age 0-110 years old! Fun for the entire family.

Keep your kids safe on the Internet and teach them to use critical thinking skills when viewing any sort of media source.  

Enforced Idleness or masterly inactivity??

Have you ever heard of this? It's a first for me too. "Enforced Idleness or Masterly Inactivity", it's all the talk in the homeschool world, it's making your kids do things like play outside, read a book, make a craft, chop wood, garden, play board games, play with dolls, or play with Legos.

LOL.......ok, I thought all those things were just about being a kid? I am so excited now and I can even relax over the fact that we now have a technical name for it, I fretted for years wondering what on earth to call it........LOL.

Though idleness is a topic that does need some looking into to make sure we know what our kids are doing during these idle times, because being idle or having inactivity can cause serious issues in the middle school and teen years  :) Three Bible verses come to mind when I think of Idleness.

1. Proverbs 31:27
   She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
2. Ecclesiastes 10:18
   By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
    
3. Ezekiel 16:49
   Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

I think Enforced Idleness is not a good term, it should be called "Kids Playing."

I went to the doctor and here is what I was told

Enjoy your weekend!
