Anyone who has ever had counseling with me will probably recognize so many of the topics that I am hoping and planning to cover this school year with the girls. All of those years of providing counseling for others and now I get to provide that content, refined and finessed by my time helping others, to my very own children. I am so blessed to have been able to have that training ground. I am so excited.
So here is my weekly plan for teaching. I don't really have curriculum. I'm just gonna teach the girls from the Bible, like I would do if I was discipling them through weekly biblical counseling and counseling homework assignments.
It's a lot of content, so the scope is going to be fairly elementary. It will be like a 30,000 foot flyover of the big picture of the purpose of life as a follower of Christ.
