Teaching Our Children

Picture
One of our most important stewardships as Patriotic Moms is to teach our children how to preserve their heritage as Americans.  In the words of George Washington, "A primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?" 

Here are helpful resources from PatrioticMoms.com and other sites. And many of the blog posts can be used to discuss important principles of liberty.  Go to ARCHIVES or HOME on the menu, and take a look at the red links to topics of interest (in alphabetical order) on the right side of the page.

The search box can be used to look for any word or topic of interest. Use the one below, or a search box is conveniently located on the top right side of this page, or any PatrioticMoms.com page.   

Please feel free to make suggestions for things to add or improve.  You can send messages here.  Thank you!
