Stuck at home? Whether it's a rainy day or a laundry day, you can try some new things to make a day indoors more interesting:
- Picnic inside. Put down a blanket in the playroom or living room and have a picnic style lunch.
- Build a fort. All you need are some couch cushions, chairs, blankets and maybe a flashlight or two.
- Art studio. Put down a drop cloth or plastic sheet and break out the paints and markers.
- Pool party. Put on your swimsuits, get the beach toys and head for the biggest bath tub in your house. Your kids will love it if you can squeeze in the tub too!

Shepherding A Child's Heart
By Tedd Tripp

Comment: This was a very thought provoking book about how to effectively and biblically train and teach your children. A lot of great discussion came from the content of this book. It provided a very helpful model regarding effective discipline/training. Some of the moms were challenged on the idea of using “the rod” (spanking) as a training technique, but great discussion came from it.
