Spiritually - through their involvement in worship and church activities, family prayer and devotional times, individual prayer times to pray for their families or for a family to adopt them, etc.

Physically - by being provided well-balanced meals and snacks, time for exercise and physical activities, adequate rest, modest and clean clothes to wear, comfortable and nicely decorated rooms to call their own, etc.

Intellectually - through their involvement with tutors from Harding University, being provided with age-appropriate books and educational games, communication with their teachers to address any learning needs, involvement of their houseparents/foster parents with homework, etc.

Emotionally - by living in a safe and loving family where they learn what it means to live in a family, being involved in healthy family relationships as well as relationships with friends, by having the opportunity to talk with therapists/counselors to address past issues, by maintaining relationships with their own birth families, if it is in their best interest, etc.

Socially - by being encouraged to participate in sports, music lessons, community activities, by learning the importance of having healthy boundaries, appropriate behavior and good manners, etc.
