Thank you so much, Gary Lee, for you have spent your valid time to answer my query. I believe, there is simply no better way to educate a child. I could find that in a recent comparison of SAT scores, homeschooled children averaged 568 on the verbal test and 525 on math; the national average was 506 on the verbal and 514 on math. This shows that homeschooled children perform better on standardized tests. Moreover, who can be more dedicated to helping a child learn successfully than that child's parent? They dedicate their lives to help their children successfully grow to maturity. One factor that is known to be extremely important to educate a child effectively is the teacher-to-student ratio and homeschooling is done largely on a one-on-one basis: there can't be a better teacher-to-student ratio than that. Through homeschooling, a child's education can be tailored to his/her capabilities and personalities. Their education in a particular area can be accelerated, if they excel in that particular area, or if they struggle in a particular area, additional resources can be brought to bear to help. Also, the way children are taught can be based on how the child best learns because of the child's personality. I still don't know why many of them out there still oppose the idea of homeschooling besides all these positives. I asked for your suggestion regarding Montessori games and puzzles since I want her to concentrate on practical life also, which will help her to gain real-life skills needed to master her environment, whether that is dressing, cleaning or learning skills. I think I have found a couple of stores online which can fulfil my needs. I will consider it discussing in my church group for more opinions. Thank you once again.

"Only in recent years has science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms. Here, Scripture tells us that the "things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Medical science has only recently discovered that blood-clotting in a newborn reaches its peak on the eighth day, then drops. The Bible consistently says that a baby must be circumcised on the eighth day. At a time when it was believed that the earth sat on a large animal or a giant (1500 B.C.), the Bible spoke of the earth’s free float in space: "He...hangs the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7). The prophet Isaiah also tells us that the earth is round: "It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22). This is not a reference to a flat disk, as some sceptic maintain, but to a sphere. Secular man discovered this 2,400 years later. At a time when science believed that the earth was flat, is was the Scriptures that inspired Christopher Columbus to sail around the world (see Proverbs 3:6 footnote)".

I am planning to homeschool my elder son, who is now 4-years-old. As a beginner, I am not sure of the supplies that are needed for this. Can someone here suggest me few puzzles and games that are used in the traditional Montessori system?

Vinegar doesn't make me happy either.

Thank you Blessings

Thank you for your tip @Blueyedjewel Blessings

Thank you for your suggestion. Blessings

Vinegar doesn't seem to work. I tried it a couple of times, but, I couldn't get that crystal clear look. I am just looking for perfection as I have an upcoming birthday party of baby Harriet. She will be 2 this year. We hired a professional post renovation cleaning services last year which operates here in Oakville. Should I hire them again for this? What do you guys think? Let me know your thoughts on this.

Thank you so much for spending your valuable time helping me. I will definitely consider your suggestion. Blessings

Thank you Omegaman 3.0 But I haven't heard of any mechanical methods yet. What is it actually?

Hello, I am having a hard time scrubbing off the hard water stains from my window glass. This resulted out of a misplaced lawn sprinkler. Tried some DIY solutions, but nothing seemed to work. Please suggest me a "really working tip" for this. Thanks for any suggestion in advance

Just saw this online when searching for the meaning " “When the Son of man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” The circumstances in which Jesus made this statement were not at a time when He was talking about His return to earth at the end of this age. But it’s clear that He is referring to that time. He asks this question of whether or not there’ll even be faith left on the earth at His return. If He is omnipotent and omniscient, why would He ask a question like that? It’s almost like the feeling is that it’s going to get so bad on earth before His return that He asks this question of whether or not there’ll even be faith left on the earth at His return. What is the context of all this? At the beginning of Luke 18, “He spoke a parable to them that men ought always to pray and not to faint.” He went on to tell about the woman who kept coming to a judge in her city to get justice for a wrong done to her. Jesus said the judge was unjust and didn’t fear God or man. But finally he just wanted the woman to stop bugging him about the matter so he tended to it. Then Jesus asked His listeners, “Won’t God answer His own elect who cry to Him daily?” It’s all about prayer and having the faith that God will answer. If that unjust judge took action just because that woman kept after him, won’t the God of heaven hear and answer the prayers of His people? But then Jesus asked, “When the Son of man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Here are a few other verses from the Bible that bring light on that time and seem to indicate the dire straits the world will be in then.

This was worth watching. Thank you for the tutorial.
