l know it isn't winter yet. But while you are planning your school year, plan some breaks to get rid of the stress. A dear friend sent me the following this week.
"One day you came in to find both Ellie and I crying after a futile Abeka composition page and you were going sledding You told me it was time to take a break and forget the books for the day. Best piece of advice I got. I've told that story many a time to new mums all afroth about covering all the material and making it a misery for both mum and child!!"
My reply: "Funny, I don't remember you and Ellie crying, but I know there were days I needed the same advice especially mid-winter. It was always good to take a play day or half when we started to get cabin fever. And outside activites helped those most. Thanks for the kind words."
