This one is for the homeschooling and any other Mamas reading…from one of my favorite blogs:
“Whenever parents create ceremonies, or a rhythmic routine, around any daily activity, we impose order on the environment, instead of on our children”.
Think on this one for a bit. Routine allows the environment to speak to the child, telling them that it’s time…for this or for that, but it’s time to move on to the next activity or quiet down from the previous one. So we don’t nag. We establish routines that speak to our children.
