The Homeschool Village : Discipline


This wek at the Homeschooling Village we are talking about discipline.


I do not have a set of specific rules in our homeschool, but discipline and correction are certainly an intregal part of our homeschool. There are certain things I expect of the boys, and they know it (although maybe I should write them down and review them everyday);  and when I see that they are not cooperating and acting ritghly I stop and correct. I love the concept of correcting and disciplining in "the milieu".

I do have house rules (which I adapted from the Duggar's house rules), that contains things like loving God first, then others, then yourself and things like no hitting etc.... But I find school time is a great time to emphasize those character traits that we need to develop. Often time privileges are taken away as consequences.

Here is a the list of attitudes and behaviours that get corrected:

  • Not working hard -dilligence

  • Whining and complaining: loving work

  • sloppiness - doing your best

  • Being considerate of others


Our verse motto, which I realize is not haging in our dinning room (school area) is : "And Whatever you do, do it heartily as unto the Lord and not for men." Colossians 3:23-24.

I'm off preparing a poster for that verse. In the past I have found very useful discipline posters at Totally Tots that are on display in the dinning room.

Make sure to check other's ways of implementing disciplines in their homeschool at the Homeschool Village link-up.

Great list of rules! I think the Duggars' house rules and Totally Tots are great resources for rules as well. And your emphasis on working for the Lord keeps the focus on what is most important.

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
