The Great Shalom Podcast : Overcoming Learning Problems

Here is our special for our 250 year anniversary. Things to think about in terms of your children's learning. How are manners and civics related? Character and government? These are things that we seldom think about today, but are vital. They were the root of the success of our culture and our nation. Yet, almost unknown today. Consider these videos and articles. Please watch them with your childr...

Is it a good idea that parents teach civics? Shouldn't that be done by professionals? How is that working out for you? Deuteronomy 6 tasks parents with education. Even if you hire a private school or send your child to governments schools, still, in the end a parent is responsible. So, do we teach civics? Meaning ... the knowledge and training how to contribute to the common good by properly inter...

Let's review the principles of the founders. Here is an introduction, a primer. (Not to be confused with the New England primer that taught reading.) Returning to and understanding of the basic principle's of the founders is of great need. 1. Rights are given by God, not government. 2. Governments are given the power to protect the citizens. 3. Citizen should be freemen who hold government account...

As a run-up to our 350th Independence Day, I thought it would be good to revisit some of our episodes related to that. Today: teaching your child civics. This vital education is entirely missing from our government schools -- intentionally so. Something else has been substituted: being a world citizen. Oh, that sounds great, but when you investigate, what has happened is an entire switch from Chri...

What do humans need most? God. Okay, and then water. Want to keep health? Regain health? Help your child? Great. Maybe start with getting pure water.

It was to Mrs. Elizabeth Willing Powell, a Quaker "hostess with the mostess," that Benjanim Franklin said, "A republic, if you can keep it." Whether we have the intelligence and character to keep a democratic republic as opposed...

Simon Okwayo has visited Austin a couple of times that I know about. The first time, I was able to prevail upon him to come to the studio. He told some stories of his childhood. Amazing. Now, he grew up in Africa, in a situation with a lot less material abundance than we in the States had then and have now. But he and his family were believers. And as a young boy, he moved out on that faith. Very...

I will tell you how to teach handwriting in this episode. This conversation was kicked off by a Facebook discussion. As usual some mother was reaching out to ?? friends ?? about something she was concerned about. More than usual, she got a long list of really bad advice. So, will let you know. Then, will discuss other options: Testing, finding people who know, getting mentoring. Not assuming the s...

Reject the Lie of "LD" - There are no "Learning Disabilities" there are only problems to be solved. There may be problems, challenges, and obstacles. We go over obstacles. We meet challenges, and we solve problems. Jesus is the Way the Truth and The Life. He is the way forward. He is the Truth as opposed to the lie. He is the Life, when the world would invite us to death. I notice that a lot of ve...
