Will my kids enjoy this guide?

This course is designed with the intent to make this process fun for you and your kids.  Throughout the course your kids can grow in their understanding of the traits and their relationship with God.

Can I still use this course if my kids aren't home schooled?

Absolutely.  These traits are even more valuable as your kids face the trails in public school.  This foundational coursework will pay large dividends as they get older and continue to be challenged with more and more complexity in their lives.  

What is the purpose of sending weekly traits to parents?

Our goal is for you and your family to have great conversations sparked by the weekly lesson.  You can use all or part of the lesson for your family.  It's entirely up to you.

How were these traits selected and what is their significance?

The list began as a project we started 12 years ago when we were thinking about raising our boys.  Most of these traits can be attributed to people who have been important in our lives.

Is there a cost associated with receiving these emails?

The total cost of the series is $10 for the entire year.

What day of the week will I receive the traits email?

The traits will be sent on Thursday each week so you can prepare in advance for next week's lesson.

Can I customize the traits I receive based on my child’s age or interests?

Not yet!  We are working on the content to allow a more customized experience for our families.  We are a small company (single family) trying to impact families around the world.

How do you ensure the privacy of my email and personal information?

We do not sell your information to any 3rd party.  We know the importance of privacy and will not communicate without permission.

Can I provide feedback about the weekly traits?

Please! Please! Please! Please!  We are better from the shared wisdom of parents from all walks of life and in different chapters of parenting.

Designed to help your family grow in Christ...

Designed for the way you live 

This guide is designed to help you foster learning within your family. Remember, it’s not a strict rulebook but a collection of suggestions. Feel free to pick what resonates with your family’s values and pace. Embrace the journey patiently, understanding that slow and steady progress is impactful. Show your children through actions, not just words, as this often speaks louder.

Key Principles

  • Be Flexible: You know your family best. Choose activities and practices that suit your family’s dynamics and schedule.
  • Be Patient: Cultivating learning is a gradual process. Celebrate small victories and be patient with challenges.
  • Lead by Example: Children learn by observation. Demonstrate the trait in your everyday actions and interactions.

Activities & Conversations

  • Select Wisely: Pick activities and conversation starters that align with your children’s age and interests. It’s okay to modify and skip some.
  • Incorporate Daily: Integrate practice into daily routines rather than making it a separate or special activity.
  • Reflect Together: Spend time discussing the impact of these activities and what you’ve all learned from them.
