We Received About What Your Child Needs to
Know When
I
feel I must share this and pass on what has been
a blessing to me. After much contemplation and
reasoning (excuses) children are older (5th &
7th), already have resources of this nature, do
I really need another book like this, etc., I
listened to my heart (and confessed again all
the money I had wasted on curriculum out of fear)
and bought the book -
What Your Child Needs to Know When. The
main reason it appealed to me was because of all
the descriptions telling how it had been revised
and expanded and included not so much what the
state expects, but first and foremost what and
how the Lord wants our families focused on and
the biblical model of learning and the education
of our children. This
book is great!!! The bibliography is
excellent-- I had already read some of the books
and found more I would like to read, but Mrs.
Sampson has pulled all these resources together
for a convicting, mind-renewing read that leaves
one not only informed, but challenged and focused
on the Lord for His perfect direction for our
children-- their hearts and mind and education.
If you've not yet been exposed to this kind of
thinking, then this is an excellent resource to
read. If you have already been exposed to this
kind of thinking and the renewing and growing
is ongoing, then this is an excellent book to
read. I am blessed that I live in a state where
achievement testing is not mandatory, but I still
will have use and value for the evaluation lists.
But even if you never use any of this information,
the first half of the book which is what I have
thus described is worth every cent. If
you keep a list of items you either want to purchase
or look at book fairs, etc., this is one to put
on that list! If someone needs more information,
I'll be glad to give it.

Dear
Robin,
I wanted to write you a note of encouragement
today. I recently bought and received your book
What
Your Child Needs to Know When. I have
to tell you that it is much more than the catalogs
describe it as. You know, I have been wanting
to run our school days in a different way (with
more emphasis on scripture), but didn't really
know how to change my rigid-schedule-ways, and
didn't have the courage to do so for a long time.
Even though most of our curriculum (if not all
of it) is Biblically-based, (we even use Far
Above Rubies for our 7th grade daughter)
it just wasn't enough for me, or at least not
the way that I wanted things. It has seemed to
me in the past that if I didn't run a tightly
scheduled ship, that things would run amuck, get
out of hand, and that the kids just didn't seem
to get their things done by the end of the day
when left to work at their own pace. To avoid
seeing some child aimlessly walking around, or
wasting time, I decided long ago that we would
have a schedule to go by to keep them focused.
However, I have never really liked it! I want
to be Spirit-led in my schooling. I have read
some things that started me thinking of how I
could get going in the direction I so desired.
The thing that helped me do it was your book!
I loved the philosophy of teaching and the example
of what a typical day might be like for you. God
must have really got a hold of me then and things
have been really different in our house! If we
weren't done with Bible by 8:30 before, I would
announce it was time for math! (Sad, Huh?) Now,
we start Bible maybe by 8 or 8:30 and sometimes
go until 10 or 10:30! And the most exciting thing
about it is that after Bible ( worship, and memory
verses, and much discussion), the kids seem to
go on their way and get their work done better
and more quickly than before. It has been astounding
to me that they get done sooner than before! So,
thank you for being obedient to the Lord and for
being an example to me. My husband and I are first
generation Christians, and I am always blessed
by Titus 2 kind of women, even after being a believer
for 17 years, married for 14, and with four children
of my own. Also, after all of the stuff on the
loop awhile back about the lesson plans. I like
them. thank you! I do have trouble picking though
because all the options are so good!
God bless you and your family.
Love
in Christ,
Peggy Lago
I'm
currently reading your book What Your Child
Needs to Know When and it is EXCELLENT!!,
and I can't wait to begin the Heart of Wisdom
teaching approach. I felt like it was an answer
to prayer when I read about it. Keep up the great
work and may God bless you!!

I can't thank you enough for What Your Child
Needs to Know When. It has been a great help
to me not only planning my lessons but more for
checking to be sure I haven't skipped anything.
My husband reviews my check list, if anything
needs work he encourages the children to work
in that specific area. Thank you for this excellent
needed reference book!
