I just want to take a moment to gently honour the mothers of prodigals. When mums tell me about their child who has gone astray, I am honestly humbled and moved every time. Thank you for telling me. I try to remember to pray for you; I wish I were better at it. Prodigals are

Why am I so easily offended when my children don’t learn a new fact the first time that I teach to them? Somehow it feels like an insult when I have to explain that 3 to the power of 4 means 3x3x3x3 for the seventeenth time. It is as though they are questioning my whole

Let’s talk about mothers who feel ill-equipped to home educate (pause while everyone including myself raises her hand). It is important to acknowledge the very human reaction to a way of doing education that probably has no precedent in our lives.

Do you know what I am going to say? OK, here it is. Time and time again I meet a home educating family and somewhere in the course of the conversation I ask which church they belong to. Awkward silence. ‘We don’t belong to a church at the moment’. In fact, according to my own private
