I often worry that I am pushing to hard or not enough, and we just keep adjusting. I try to go by my stress level -- if I am cranky and yelling and saying "hurry up" and "why didn't you do this!" then I know we have too much going on. <BR/><BR/>So far, we've never had to worry about too little! Somehow, they seem to figure out good ways to fill the time.

I think it's ok to revisit our goals and reconsider how well we are meeting them, but comparing my family to another's is walking down a dangerous path (no matter how tempting it is!) :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914916376786750122.post-88317802391676913822009-01-27T06:42:00.000-06:002009-01-27T06:42:00.000-06:00Two thoughts:1.

When I read your last post about homeschooling, I had a moment of recognition -- we don't homeschool (yet), but if/when we do, I imagine it will be as you do. To me, that's one of the benefits of h/s and one of the blessings. Instilling a love of learning looks differently to everyone, I guess. But don't compare. That's a temptation, and one that will only make you feel worse, one that won't make you live your vocation as God intends.<BR/><BR/>:)Sarah Reinhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682511477646768745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914916376786750122.post-22518992048333023832009-01-26T12:47:00.000-06:002009-01-26T12:47:00.000-06:00I was happy to discover your Home Scribbles blog t...I was happy to discover your Home Scribbles blog today. I was unable to find an email link in your profile. I hope it's OK that I'm contacting you through a public comment. I've developed an educational program for Windows called SpellQuizzer that helps children learn their spelling words without the battle that parents often have getting them to sit down and write them out while the parents dictate to them. The parent enters the child's spelling words into the software making a sound recording of each word. Then the software drills the child on their words. It really helped my children with their weekly spelling lists. <BR/><BR/>I would appreciate your reviewing SpellQuizzer in Home Scribbles. You can learn more about the program at http://www.SpellQuizzer.com. There's a video demo you can watch at http://www.spellquizzer.com/SpellQuizzer-Demo.htm. I'd be happy to send you a complimentary license for the software. Please let me know if you are interested. You can reach me at Dan@SpellQuizzer.com<BR/><BR/>Thank you very much!<BR/><BR/>Dan Hite<BR/>TedCo SoftwareDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218586712316050849noreply@blogger.com
