Part One of the Series: Nine Traits of a Life-Giving, Transformational EducationTrait One: A Biblical View of the Child“Every child is being shaped. The question isn’t if they’re being transformed—it’s who is doing the shaping, and by what vision.”In this foundational episode, Lori Lane introduces the first trait of a life-giving, transformative educational model: A Biblical View of the Child.This core truth sets the trajectory for everything that follows in a child’s development—because how we see a child determines how we teach, guide, and ultimately shape who they become.Lori invites parents to reframe their educational choices through the lens of Scripture—not starting with curriculum or academic goals, but with the heart and identity of the child as an image-bearer of God.You’ll be encouraged to examine the worldview behind every system, model, or method you consider—and walk away with clarity, conviction, and renewed purpose in your parenting.Key Takeaways:-Why a biblical view of the child is essential to true transformation-The dangers of behaviorist models in modern education-What it really means to “train up a child” (Proverbs 22:6)-The Michelangelo principle: revealing, not imposing, identity-Discernment questions to guide your educational decisions
