Raising Godly, responsible, loving, well educated boys is not an easy task. It easy to focus on one area, but what good is a well educated child that does not love and respect God. What good is child that loves God, but does now how to teach others how to love and respect God. I take educating my boys very serious. Of course, I want them to be book smart, but I love them too much not to work on their character too.
I am amazed how much work and effort my boys will put forth for a solid piece of recognition. We have been doing Contenders of the Faith (COF) for around three years now and the boys LOVE it. What impresses me most about COF that it is easy to modify to meet my family and yet is powerful in help me teach my boys life skills. My boys love earning their badges and showing off their badges of honor to anyone who will listen. I can't help but crack up when my boys share nonchalantly share how they earned their Africa badge. They don't know they are doing extra ordinary things for kids their age. By the way, they had to learn all the countries in Africa to get their Africa badges.
So far the boys have earned approximately 45 badges of honor and they have their eyes and mind on quite a few more badges.
