Small changes make a big difference

We recently dropped another class, Taekwondo. Owen and Lilly really enjoyed it but it was a difficult time of day. 4-5 pm. I wasn’t able to get dinner in the kids at a decent time or able to exercise for myself because of this class. The instructor was great and very nice. I feel a little guilty but I just had to let something else go. i have had a very easy two weeks all around. It is amazing to me what I thought was a small change turned out to be huge! I have been more efficient with the kids schooling and getting all their subjects in.

I do have to give Lilly credit, she has been very focused and easy to handle lately. I also made a change to her math curriculum, two days out of the book and three days on multiplication.com. She needs to memorize her multiplication facts and it seems to take the pressure off.

Sometimes it is just these little adjustments that help so much.  it is at times like these that I love the flexibility of home school. I love that I can tailor my children’s learning to where THEY are as opposed to the class.
