New to board -- second time w/Little Hearts

Post by dsmama » Sat Apr 23, 2011 7:41 am

Hello!

I have been using HOD but never came to the message boards. Silly me! What a treasure trove of wisdom here.

My middle daughter will be starting Little Hearts, which her older sister finished up last spring. So while she wasn't present for all the learning, she definitely remembers some of the lessons, and especially the Bible verses and stories. We LOVED the Hide Em in Your Heart songs and still watch the DVDs in the car sometimes.

So I was wondering what would be appropriate to go over again and what might be possible to combine with older DD (who will be doing Bigger). Maybe review the verses and combine the girls for storytime? Or should we just do it all as written?

Any thoughts or experiences are welcome. Thank you!!

If it was last spring when you finished, and the ages in your siggie are currently correct, I think I would just do Little Hearts as is for her. She will still get a lot from hit and it will be hers to "own" this time around. I would not put a 5 yr old in any part of Bigger. My youngest is around a lot when we work in Beyond with my oldest, but I know he is not taking it all in as he would if he was actually doing the guide. I think you will be fine.
