School Time

So we've been having some attitude problems with John and instead of starting off with a training session to teach him what the Bible says about having a good attitude, I was getting frustrated and disciplining him instead. I finally realized that John didn't know what God says about his attitude so he could not be expected to obey yet. This morning we sat down and had a mini Bible lesson about Attitudes, the letter A, and used Phillippians 2:14 "Do All things without grumbling or complaining." John had a great time learning his verse (which will take much longer than one morning to memorize) and we're hoping to see an improved attitude with God's word hidden in his heart. Here's a picture of his poster that we made. I wrote the words with an ink pen, showed him how to trace the letter A, and he traced the rest with a marker. Can you believe how good he did tracing!? (He's 2 and a half!) He also drew all the circles himself, what a smart boy!
