routines

Over the summer the children kept working at various projects to earn media time.  B had learned early that computer time was between lunch and dinner if we were home and the work was done.  But recently it seemed the kids were on the computers all the time and often, very often, the work wasn't done.  So we switched this week to having media time only during the hour before dinner. 

Tonight after dinner we hung out and drew eyes.  Now the children are watching the Muppet Show together.  Time together, sharing experiences, instead of separate and engrossed in media.

Yeah, that’s the blessing and curse of homeschool: you always have to revitalize your routine. But it’s a good example for kids because adult life is enduring and revitalizing, especially in marriage and family.
