Here’s How It Works
Cottage Meetings for Kids is divided into 12 modules following along with the topics from the Cottage Meeting Resource Guide. Each module is divided into 4 weeks with an Activity Day Outline and list of additional resources following the lessons. Each module features a read-a-loud book that families can read and discuss throughout the month. At the end of each month you can unite with other families to participate together in the Activity Day. This works well when families are reading the same book and going through the same lessons on their own and then come together to share their experiences and reinforce the principles at the Activity Day. Age is not a factor, togetherness is the key (Kids in Pre-K through 12th grade are welcome). The only requirement we have is that you HAVE FUN!
Once you’ve completed the 12 lessons, there will be a Liberty Warrior Graduation Certificate that you can print out to acknowledge your child(ren)’s amazing achievements.
Please note: You will need the Activity Day General Resources PDF, which includes printable cut-outs, for every Activity Day. Some Activity Days require supplemental resources that can be found in the Activity Day Outline PDF.

This Parent’s Manual supplies you with additional resources, books, and ideas to incorporate into each of the monthly lessons. You’ll find inspirational stories, and detailed outlines for each of the 12 lessons.

Brave Books
We founded Brave Books because while we were trying to raise our children to love their God and country, we became more and more aware that there is a real war being waged for the hearts and minds of the next generation. There is an agenda to confuse and demoralize our children and make them hate their country and the values that it was founded upon. That’s why BRAVE Books created an alternative to the current progressive agenda dominating children’s literature. Each book teaches a new traditional value that makes America so special.
The 5000 Year Leap
The Founding Fathers were great students of history, and as such they could best represent what Americans - both in their time and in future generations - would need to understand and perpetuate for freedom, peace and prosperity to remain parts of American society. Some of these are familiar to most citizens, such as checks and balances between the three parts of government and that all men are created equal. Some are less well-known, like the avoidance of making alliances with our frindly nations and the 'genius of natural law'. Others are more nuanced than we might initially think, such as the sovereignity of the people and the advantages of a republic over a demoncracy.
