I recently ordered Plants Grown Up
to use with both of my sons. I have become increasingly aware that our time with them is limited...Zach is going to be 13 soon and Noah will be 9 in a few days. We have only five more years with Zach to teach and prepare him for manhood! Scary thought! This curriculum is put out by Doorposts. It has tons of ideas, activities, and projects to teach boys to be godly men. There is a version for girls called Polished Cornerstones in case you have girls. Plants Grown up is about 500 pages!!!! It is going to be pretty overwhelming, but I am going to take the author's advice and do two projects from one chapter each week. This will allow us to touch on each chapter in one year. The curriculum is meant to be used for several years...it has activities for all age levels so you could go from ages 5-18! To give you an idea of what is in Plants Grown Up here is a list of the sections the book provides. Stay tuned as I will post more about our experiences with the book.
