You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them
when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you
lie down, and when you rise. Deuteronomy 6:7
Have you heard of the Child Training Bible yet? When I read about it I just had to check it out. I have been looking for something like this for a long time.
The concept is simple! Use Scripture in training your children for the Lord.
But is it really that simple? Here's the scenario: Your child does something wrong and you want to quote a verse from the Bible, but you can't remember it. You then look through the pages of notes that you have written on little pieces of paper all shoved near the back of your Bible, to find the right verse, which takes some time. You finally find it and look it up, and now your child is on to something else, and you have lost that moment for training.

This problem is solved with the Child Training Bible! Mindy, a homeschooling mom of four, along with her husband, Nathan, have created the Child Training Bible, which consists of a Child Training Bible Key, three Scripture Tabbing Charts, and a set of instructions.
All you have to have is a Bible {preferably 9x6}, a set of post it flags and highlighters, both in 7 colors, a pencil, and double sided tape.
Using your double sided tape, place the laminated Child Training Bible Key on the right side of the first page of your Bible.The Bible Key includes 20 key areas {Anger, Defiance, Laziness, etc} with a complete section dedicated to the Gospel. These key areas correspond to color-coded tabs and highlighted text throughout the Bible.
The three Scripture Tabbing Charts assist with tabbing the pages and highlighting the text.
And on the back of the charts, Mindy and Nathan have included ways to help you discuss the problem areas with your children.
There are questions to ask, referring once again to scripture, and they have included sample prayers you can pray together.
My Thoughts: I was excited to get started on putting my Child Training Bible together once I received everything in the mail! I happened to have an extra children's Bible on hand, and it was not 9x6 {but I made it work anyway}! It took me about 2 to 3 hours to put it all together.
Now when Funny Bunny has a problem with, let's say, disobedience, I can easily flip to several verses in the Bible that specifically address it, and I have ideas for discussion.
