I have those kind of da...I hear you loud and clear. I have those kind of days too. Frequently too. <BR/><BR/>When my 11+ boy drags his feet, takes time in the toilet and blah blah. All the tricks under the sun! It drives me up the wall.<BR/><BR/>I lay my hands and pray for them. Bless them with diligence, obedience, etc. <BR/><BR/>He WANTS to be diligent and all but his flesh is weak. <BR/><BR/>So, don't give up. Press on, continue the discipline, God sees the effort and so does your children (even if they don't really follow it). Ask God for strength and He will see you through.<BR/><BR/>Happy Homeschooling.<BR/><BR/>ChrisThe Seasonal Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13716243636170014651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33971125.post-15868691288533865122008-02-13T19:13:00.000-07:002008-02-13T19:13:00.000-07:00Maybe its the time of year too? All the adults I ...Maybe its the time of year too? All the adults I know right now are in a funk - lacking motivation, tired, irritable...procrastinatiing...<BR/><BR/>I think its February in Alberta lol. Maybe have an early summer vacation from school? and do a little extra in the summer? <BR/><BR/>My older three children are in school, and I have one homeschooling right now but have homeschooled them all in the past. There would be months where nothing seemed to get done and I was irritable and the children were cranky and squabbling all the time and not getting anything done. <BR/><BR/>I think though that the amount homeschooled kids get done during the 'good times' more than makes up for those weeks when nothing seems to get done. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes its better to give in and do some fun stuff for a week or two and then try again.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011740418262822198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33971125.post-10524771478626208712008-02-13T15:35:00.000-07:002008-02-13T15:35:00.000-07:00You said it perfectly...you'd think they'd figure ...You said it perfectly...you'd think they'd figure out that if they just got their stuff done, they'd have more time for fun and mommy wouldn't yell! Yet that reasoning is beyond them. <BR/>I struggle with patience too.Snizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609352449272402863noreply@blogger.com
