Palomas de Keila O. Harris

Gracias por esta recomendación Ana Ruth, lo estamos disfrutando mucho.

Palomas es una novela de la escritora Mexicana Keila Ochoa Harris. Está novela esta ambientada en la época del Imperio Asirio, justo en los días en que Jonás fue a advertir sombre la destrucción de Nínive. Si bien esta es una novela producto de la imaginación de la autora, se nota como ella tuvo cuidado de incluir aspectos históricos que realmente ayudan a darnos una idea de la vida de la gente común en aquellas sociedades primitivas para nuestros estándares modernos. Muy útil este tipo de novelas cuando se estudia historia antigua.

US grants home schooling German family political asylum

Couple who fled to Tennessee fearing persecution for keeping their children out of school win first case of its kind in US

A US judge has granted ­political asylum to a German family who said they had fled the country to avoid persecution for home schooling their children.

In the first reported case of its kind, Tennessee immigration judge Lawrence Burman ruled that the family of seven have a legitimate fear of prosecution for their beliefs. Germany requires parents to enrol their children in school in most cases and has levied fines against those who ­educate their children at home.

Christians Uwe Romeike, a piano teacher, and his wife, Hannelore, moved to Morristown, Tennessee, in 2008 after ­German authorities fined them thousands of euros for keeping their children out of school and sent police to escort them to classes, Romeike said. They had been holding classes in their home… Keep reading

about Raising Boys

Thank you Ana Ruth for share this info:

Number One Rule: Diligence! You have to keep at it, daily…for all of their childhood, even in the teen years! Don’t give up!!!

Number Two Rule: Encourage, Encourage, Encourage! Surround yourself with people who will encourage you, and remember your son NEEDS your encouragement, even when he messes up.
Remember they are little men. Don’t allow behavior that you would not allow from a man with integrity, using the excuse boys will boys.

Submerge them with books and movies that exhibit manliness. Even if boys do not have strong male roll models in their lives they can be influenced by the characters in books and movies.

~Carefully choose books/movies that righteousness prevails, never call something that is bad, good. Books make a bigger impact than movies.

~Read books aloud as a family, this gives plenty of time for discussion and reinforcement!
Remind them they are protectors. When situations arise let your sons do the job of protecting, even if it is something small.

Let them kill the bugs and things like that. Find the simple situations and build from there.
Give them charge to be the protectors of anyone that is weaker than he is, especially girls, which includes his sisters! Remind him that only cowards are cruel to weaker people.

Remind him that Jesus (the strongest man ever) came to give his life for the weak.
Make sure the girls in your home treat him like a man. Discourage nagging and mothering, this frustrates boys greatly! Remind them to let their brother do the manly tasks when possible.

Primeras flores

Generalmente salgo con Octavio, pero hoy mi esposo llego temprano de la oficina y se quedo con él mientras yo hacia unas compras en la tarde.

Cuando estaba en la tienda sonó mi celular, era Octavio para decirme que me tenía un regalo. Me dijo que había cortado unas flores en el jardín para mí y quería que yo las oliera. De donde saco la idea de cortar flores? No lo sé, pero hice todo lo posible por regresar pronto a casa y ver el primer “ramo de flores” que me tenía mi hijo. Tan pronto como me las dio las puse en agua.
