God Chooses Moses God Leads His People Through The Red Sea In these stories we will see how God cared for the children of Israel. As God cared for them, we can be confident that He cares for us. Surely I (God) will be with you always, even until the end of the age. That does not mean, God might be with us or I have a hunch God will take care of us. No, it means I know, I am confident, God will follow me every moment of my

Helpful Hints from Resources for Education
Q&A
Telling the truth Q: For the third time this week, my child told a lie. They werent big ones, but how can I get her to stop? Why is she doing this? A: Youngsters have vivid imaginations and are learning the difference between fantasy and fact. Talk with your daughter about whats real and what isnt. Do talking purple dinosaurs really exist? Lets look up dinosaurs in the encyclopedia and find out. Kids also lie to avoid embarrassment. Confronting your child about eating a cookie without permission may prompt her to say a monster ate it. Remind her to tell the truth, even if shes done something she shouldnt. Its fun to pretend there are monsters, but they arent real. What is our rule about having snacks before dinner? Pointing out when your youngster tells the truth will help build honest

behavior. Write down when she admits to doing something wrong or tells you about what she has done before you are aware of it. Review the list with her, and tell her youre proud of her honesty.

Waiting games
Waiting has become a part of our everyday lives. The next time you hear, How much longer? try one of these ideas to occupy your children: Play word games. Start with a simple word like up, and take turns thinking of opposites or alternative words.
Examples: up, down, left, right. Take all the change out of your pocket and let your youngsters sort it. Then, show them how to count it out. Count the pennies. Look at the coins. One side is called the head, it has the head of a former president. The other side is called tails. Play a game and have your child call heads or tails. You flip the coin and have them call it.
Practice counting. If your child can count to 100, count by 10s. Say each number and ask them to repeat it after you. Try an alphabet search. One person finds an object that begins with the letter a. The next person finds something beginning with b, and so on.
Learning Guidelines from Resources for Education
When parents get involved in learning, kids are more successful. Help your youngsters get off to a good start in school by creating habits like these at home: Make time each day to look over school papers with your youngsters. Be on the lookout for notes from their teachers, and mark important dates on the calendar. Sharing at dinnertime is helpful. I see that you have Gordo gorilla

(peeling a banana) and Honey horse (galloping). Show the action that they do. Tell me the sound that Gordo and Honey say.
Limit time on electronic game devices. Try to give equal time to developing vocabulary or playing outside.
My daughter Amy always seemed to be bouncing off the walls at home, at school, just about everywhere. I didnt know what to do. Since my
sisters son is also very active, I asked her for some advice. She suggested that Amy get as much exercise as possible. So, we try to go for a walk or play in the park almost ever y day. On other days, Amy rides her bike or plays running games with the other kids on our block. Ive noticed that Amy is especially wired when shes overtired, so I make sure she gets plenty of sleep. The difference these changes have made to her behavior is wonderful and Im calmer, too!
