Numbers 1-4 today... Numbers 5-8 tomorrow...

God gave Israel certain guidlines for organizing the Israelite camp. I am now thinking about how wonderful my wife started to get the whole house decluttered and cleaned this past week. Thank you sweetie! :)

I think this would be a great opportunity to teach the children about organization and use the scriptures of how God gave directions to the Israelite to be organized. We can do the same with our children these simple steps.

1. Demonstrate how each task is done.
2. Do it with each child.
3. Let each child do it alone while being supervised.
4. Have each child do it alone but check up afterwards.

As you can guess that adults and children's most common conflicts are the child's messy room. We, as parents solve the problems by usually closing the child's door. Then, settle for one or two days a week when the room must be straightened up be a certain time is not realistic. We need to teach the children how to meet the expectations. Do make sure the expectations are within the child's ability.

Good night,
