I think if you teach Genesis with a good commentary or study Bible that teaches kids how to approach interpretation in an appropriate cultural context, that’s a great start. Maybe checkout the NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible .
The Homeschool Forum might have some threads with some helpful tidbits for integrating science and faith with kids:
@Homeschool_Forum I have a deep thinking, questioning 13 year old here. He takes after his mom. In fact, his questions as a young kid started my search into evolution.
While I’ve taught my kids about evolution and told them what I believe about the bible and science, he gets a lot of young earth input in our community. The other day he mentioned that it’s hard to know what to think when the bible seems clear that evolution isn’t true or something of that sort.

@Homeschool_Forum We participate in a Classical Conversations (CC) group and like several others on this board, are struggling with the view from which the Challenge levels (grade 7-12) are taught. Some of the curriculum/resources they use include It Couldn’t Just Happen, Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds, and the Apologia science texts (Physical, Bio, Chem). So it’s a mix of YEC, ID with some token mentions of OEC. There is a strong anti-evolutionary tone.
My son will be going into Chall…
