When I received the Growing Up Wild DVDs in the mail, I
immediately opened the package and the whole family watched both videos in one
sitting. My girls often make fun of my
turning every moment into a learning moment.
One pretended that she would rather do dishes than sit and watch a
“school” video but when I looked toward the kitchen sink she was all eyes on
the TV. By the end of the video, she
said “I like these.”
It is very fitting that our history focus this year is on
Countries and Cultures. There is a huge
slant toward missionaries in our studies.
We are actually reading one missionary biography now. Reviewing these videos was such a wonderful
addition to our studies.
A few thoughts:
I would advise parents with young children to view the
videos first before showing them to their kids.
In many third world countries wearing little to no clothing is
common. There were a few shots that
caught me off guard but nothing close to vulgar. It is definitely within the context of living
in the jungle. One should just know that
it is there – brief bare bottoms in adults and bare fronts in young male
children.
Also one scene left all of our mouths hung open as I was
caught off guard watching a common house cat eat a nice sized mouse. I have all girls so it may go over
differently in a home with all boys. My
husband definitely got a kick out of that footage.
I really like the packaging of these videos. It is very professionally packaged. That may not be very important to many but I
like it. I would suggest to the Wild
family to have their videos included with a packaged curriculum provider that has a
cultural study especially one that focuses on missions.

I can't seem to locate the Growing up Wild volumes for sale anywhere. Can you point me in the right direction?
