If Morning Time is a new concept for you on your Homeschooling Journey, then below are some resources I would suggest you look into. If you want to begin this habit with your family, I would advise doing your own research to see what would interest your family. Also start simple. Maybe just sing a song, read a devotional or poem, pray, and call it done for the day. Remember as your children grow accustomed to your Morning Time you can always add more learning to this fun together time. This practice has evolved over the years for our family as kids have gotten older and more children added to our family. Curious what our family does then check out my post A Peek at Our Family’s Morning Time.
Books to Read
- Family Driven Faith: Doing What It Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters Who walk with God by Voddie Baucham. While this book doesn’t necessarily discuss Morning Time, Mr. Baucham does advocate for Homeschooling your children. As well as having a set time daily where you read the Scriptures, Pray, and Worship the Lord together as a family. This is a wonderful book that I suggest every Christian Family read if they want to raise their Children up in a Christian Worldview and follow Christ.
