A Good Foundation
Pray
Continue praying with each of your children each day, asking God to guide your efforts and work in the hearts of your children.
Read & Study
Choose either Basic Christianity or Christianity 101 under “Review of Fundamentals” and read it. Even if you are long-time believer, it is helpful to review the fundamentals to help you as you begin to teach your child.
Read either “Parenting Is Heart Work” or “Shepherding a Child’s Heart” under “Understanding Heart Change.”
Apply
Consider “Issues to Ponder” in the “Review of Fundamentals” section of the Aslan Academy Guidebook.

Family Activities
Continue daily Bible study or readings from an age-appropriate bible.
Plan a special outing with each child to continue discussing character. Think of an event or activity to illustrate an opportunity for growth.
Continue family readings as well as encouraging your child to listen and learn on their own. Once you have finished reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, continue reading through the Chronicles of Narnia with the study guides. Every family is different, and accordingly should adapt the schedule of reading to suit the interests and time availability of family members. Try to read a chapter two or three times per week. If you don’t have time to go over all the questions in one sitting, discuss them over the next couple of days, keeping the story fresh in the children’s minds and building their excitement to read the next chapter.
