Some current preschool parents in our society grew up with cell phones in their childhood, and parents (or soon to be parents) in their early 20’s grew up with a cell phone and posting pictures to document their lives. So there is a significant chasm of understanding between those parents who grew up with technology, and those parents that did not. The older generations remember being able to survive without technology at their fingertips, the younger ones never had that experience. So how can both groups of parents partner together with administrators and their own valuable life experiences to come up with real solutions to the technology challenges of today?  ![edited-2293](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/edited-2293.jpg?width=780&height=439&name=edited-2293.jpg) [![Why God Created the Arts](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/Reg-5186.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/why-god-created-the-arts) ## [Why God Created the Arts](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/why-god-created-the-arts) July 12, 2024 The creation of art dates back to the creation of the world — all the way back to Genesis in the Bible. We can read the story of Genesis and witness the beauty of creation all around us and everything that God created, in all his artistry. As humans created in His image, it isn’t a stretch to realize that we have that same yearning as He does for creating beautiful things. We see a continuation of this biblical alignment of creation and art within the story of Exodus when the tribes of Israel built the temples and began to use the word “artisans” and skilled workers.  ![Reg-5186](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Reg-5186.jpg?width=780&height=439&name=Reg-5186.jpg) [![ParentEd.: 9 Tips for Parenting Girls](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/DSC02754.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/9-tips-for-parenting-girls) ## [ParentEd.: 9 Tips for Parenting Girls](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/9-tips-for-parenting-girls) June 10, 2024 It is often said that there are no instruction manuals for parenting. But actually, the Bible gives very specific instructions on parenting, especially in Deuteronomy 6: 5-9. Essentially: love God, teach your children how to love God, read His scripture, write His scripture, wherever you are, all the time.  ![Praising Girl](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Praising%20Girl.jpeg?width=780&height=467&name=Praising%20Girl.jpeg) [![ParentEd.: Rethinking Your College Outlook](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/Edited-1223.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/rethinking-your-college-outlook) ## [ParentEd.: Rethinking Your College Outlook](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/rethinking-your-college-outlook) May 14, 2024 As Christians we are taught to trust in God completely for the future. The Lord states in Jeremiah 29:11, “*For I know the plans I have for you… plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future*.” We hear this, we repeat it into memory, and we post it as a meme on our social media platforms, but when it comes to our children and their dreams do we really say “Your will, not mine (or theirs) Lord”? The truth is, it’s tough. Children have big dreams, and parents want them to check every possible box off their dream list that they can.  ![DSC06820](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC06820.jpg?width=780&height=439&name=DSC06820.jpg) [![From the Teacher’s Desk: What Makes Learning Diverse?](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/DSC02730.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/3ds-of-learning-differences-0) ## [From the Teacher’s Desk: What Makes Learning Diverse?](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/3ds-of-learning-differences-0) May 06, 2024 Education is a life-long journey. Trends in education come and go, but the goal remains the same: students must learn the skills they need to live a successful life. During the last several decades, we have realized that the learning process looks different for different people. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to learning, and human development is not linear, as skills can develop and be mastered at various times for different people. Research also suggests that a key to success in education is knowing students deeply and understanding their uniquenesses.    ![DSC02768](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC02768.jpg?width=780&height=439&name=DSC02768.jpg) [![ParentEd.: The 3-D’s of Learning Differences](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/IMG_3615.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/3ds-of-learning-differences) ## [ParentEd.: The 3-D’s of Learning Differences](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/3ds-of-learning-differences) April 15, 2024 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

And in turn with that same display of the love of Christ, to defend the faith that is held so precious.    ![\_MG\_1507](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_MG_1507.jpeg?width=844&height=466&name=_MG_1507.jpeg) [![ParentEd.: 4 Tips to Identify Troubles in Teen Mental Health](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/DSC06776%20(1).jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/4-tips-to-identify-troubles-in-teen-mental-health) ## [ParentEd.: 4 Tips to Identify Troubles in Teen Mental Health](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/4-tips-to-identify-troubles-in-teen-mental-health) January 12, 2024 “*For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind.”*  *— 2 Timothy 1:7*  Even with faith, the topic of mental health is an issue of concern in the hearts and minds of parents everywhere, especially for those of middle and high school students. Biblically, Christians are instructed not to fear for the future, but that can prove difficult when parents see their children struggling. Here, the middle and high school counselors at Mount Paran Christian School share their expertise and offer four tips to help recognize some of the emotional roadblocks adolescents are facing.   ![DSC06776 (1)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC06776%20(1).jpg?width=845&height=564&name=DSC06776%20(1).jpg) [![Faith and Science Are Not at Odds](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/HS%20girls%20science%20lab.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/faith-and-science-are-not-at-odds) ## [Faith and Science Are Not at Odds](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/faith-and-science-are-not-at-odds) December 11, 2023 Science classrooms can often be intimidating places full of beakers, test tubes, numbers, graphs, data tables, and the like.

The 1988 alumnus, representing our first graduating class, commented on the vast programs, the beautiful campus and buildings, and the record enrollment after briefly reflecting on our humble beginnings. “Did you ever see all of this in our future?” he asked me. Clearly, the answer was "no."    ![Wall](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Wall.jpg?width=845&height=475&name=Wall.jpg)  [![5 Ways Christians Can Respond to Bullying](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/Shelton%20High%20Fives.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/5-ways-christians-can-respond-to-bullying) ## [5 Ways Christians Can Respond to Bullying](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/5-ways-christians-can-respond-to-bullying) November 09, 2023 Bullying is a pervasive issue affecting millions worldwide. It’s a problem that transcends age, gender, and social status. While it manifests in various forms, the core elements of bullying remain consistent: the intentional infliction of harm - often through physical, verbal, or psychological means - on an individual who feels powerless to defend themselves. As Christians, it’s up to us to lead the charge on shaping a more compassionate and loving society to help prevent and stop bullying.    ![Shelton High Fives](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shelton%20High%20Fives.jpg?width=845&height=475&name=Shelton%20High%20Fives.jpg) [![Motivated by School Mission](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/PK%20prayers.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/motivated-by-school-mission) ## [Motivated by School Mission](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/motivated-by-school-mission) October 10, 2023 It is logical for confusion to exist when those of us in K-12 Christian education begin to define ourselves. It should be simple and straightforward, right? Well, not exactly. The many Christian schools that exist across the American landscape do share a common goal: we are colleagues who have embraced a calling to academic excellence in an environment that honors Christ preeminently. I have discovered none who refutes this. These two aspirational goals stand as the cornerstones and foundations on which Christian education has been built.    ![PK prayers](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PK%20prayers.jpg?width=845&height=475&name=PK%20prayers.jpg)  [![6 Tips for Hosting Community-Building Events](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/DSC02287.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/6-tips-for-hosting-community-building-events) ## [6 Tips for Hosting Community-Building Events](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/6-tips-for-hosting-community-building-events) February 23, 2023 America is a melting pot, they say - a place where people from the world over have long sought refuge or a chance at the “American Dream”. Perhaps instead of the tired melting pot metaphor, we can think of this country as a tossed salad - whereby each “ingredient” remains unique but contributes to the whole.    The same is true when considering diversity within our schools. Students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, differing learning abilities, and various socioeconomic situations all bring meaningful contributions to the classroom experience and to a school’s community.
