Christian Parents: What teaching methods (tactics/strategies) have you used to help...?We Answered:
I could not agree with you more - leading your children to Christ is the most important job a parent has to do. We have four children. All are adults and all are Christians. The two oldest have 10 children and they are all professing Christians as well. So, I feel very grateful that we have propagated the love of God through out our family and to the in-loves as well.Our story did not start out very successful. I married a non believer. And we were married for 10 years (2 kids) before she came to the Lord. I was a nominal Christian. Prayed, but no church or Bible study in my formative years. But I loved God and when the door finally opened I was ready to run through it. Friends started coming at me and I finally realized what it meant to be a Christian, to accept Jesus and to love Him with my heart, and soul and mind. My wife came to Him on the beach of Hawaii reading Josh McDowell's book, More than a Carpenter.
We decided to have two more children and she wanted to raise them in the church. So we started to go regularly. This was the beginning of our many trials. The two oldest, now 11 and 9 rebelled and hated having to go church. They hated church, hated us and could not understand why we were shoving our religion down their throat. And though they went to Sunday school and we talked about what it meant to be a Christian, it did no good. They were already set in their ways.
The two youngers were raised in the church. Knew Jesus from the cradle. We prayed regularly with them and talked often of God's love and how being a Christian was more than just attending church. We tried devotionals at home, but the kids did not really like that very much. But we continued our one on one discipling. Talks in the car. I remember our youngest son leading his friend to Jesus in the back seat of our car as we drove to their bowling league. It was so precious.
When the olders got to 14 and 16, the crisis hit. Both ended up in drug rehab. Their rebellion hit full stride and they (we) paid the price. Once the rebellion was broken they became more malleable and willing to discuss their faith, their spiritual journey and their love for God. It was a long wait, but worth it. The oldest daughter teaches Bible studies and has written a book. The oldest boy is a walking, talking minister, hoping to form a church. But it came as a result of their inner commitment to a lifestyle and thought process we built around them. They came on their own.
I hear of many families who saturate their children in the word of God regularly at home, hold devotions, attend fellowship groups, etc. I taught Sunday School for 16 years (Jr hi). But it did not work for us. The only thing that worked for us was loving them and talking to them and showing them our devotion to them and their lives.
That does not mean the other ways don't work. But they didn't for us. I have seen very successful families turn out successful kids doing the devotions, et. al. But I have also seen them go the other way. So I think the key is the love we show them. That they really know there is nothing that can separate them from the love of God and that we are the embodiment of that love to them.
Hope this helps.

what is the difference beetween a teaching approach,andteaching strategy;teaching techniques and methods?We Answered:
A teaching approach is usually based on the philosophy behind the learning. For example, 20 years ago much of the public education community supported a whole language approach to learning reading. People that did not understand the whole languag approach jumped on the band wagon and began enforcing a bunch of ill informed rules which caused a rapid increase in illiteracy nationwide. They mistakenly thought that direct instruction in decoding and fluency were not necessary. They believed that by exposing students to good pieces of literature they would naturally pick up reading skills.Somethimes there are different strategies for teaching the same skill or concepts. For example, when teaching reading some teachers prefer teaching students to decode individual sounds while other teachers prefer to teach linguistic patterns. sound (i) pattern (ing)
A teaching technique is the method that someone uses to
introduce and or reinforce a new concept or skills. I might use brainstorming as a technique to introduce a new topic. I might relate the new learning to prior learning or decide to use manipulatives to demonstrate an idea.
