As a mother of a 12, soon to be 13 year old. I find that new perspectives are becoming neccessary for me as I learn how to deal with my teenager. This is article is refreshing, and reminds us all our goal in parenting: to help our children have a good heart of obedience, and a heart of love for God. Thanks, Kate Hi Mr. Piper,
Loved the article. As a mother of a 12, soon to be 13 year old. I find that new perspectives are becoming neccessary for me as I learn how to deal with my teenager. This is article is refreshing, and reminds us all our goal in parenting: to help our children have a good heart of obedience, and a heart of love for God.

Thanks,

Kate

It's great for teaching concepts and the hands-on basis is invaluable for building more abstract math skills and understandings later. I think it's one of the best out there.
