What a relief! Our HSing Day #3 went as well as Day 1. The kids have come to the quick conclusion that it does not pay to be difficult. Thank goodness! We swiftly moved through all our lessons without all the moaning and groaning of yesterday. When the kids showed signs of loosing control of themselves, a quick reminder served to shape them right up. I feel good!
However, the kids aren't the only ones who learned a lesson. I am getting back into the swing of things, and am finding that planning a lesson that's not too short or too long takes some practice. Yesterday was a great learning experience for "what happens when the lesson goes too long". Oh well. We all survived and came out in one piece in the end.
I hope that other HS moms out there are having quick and easy success with their students/lessons! What a blessing for parents to be able to stay home and have this time with our children. It feels so right to be the one who teaches my kids not just academics, but also good character and general life skills.
