Making your kids work is not hurting them.

Work Therapy

Work is good for them even if it is not comfortable.

Work Therapy

Work and the responsibilities and obligations that often accompany work are all vital to a person’s sense of belonging, identity, purpose, and overall emotional well-being. However, work is not always comfortable. I have noticed that for a variety of reasons today’s parents are often very reluctant to force their kids out of their comfort zones. Particularly when it comes to work and chores around the house. This is a terrible mistake.

Too much comfort is a breeding ground for lethargy, laziness, entitlement, and ingratitude. Someone once said, certainly the most effective road to hell is the comfortable one. So let’s stretch our kids by requiring more of them. That way everyone wins.

Shepherds Hill Academy: Transforming Lives, Transforming Culture

Endorsements

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
