A Full Calendar
"Providing opportunities
sounds wonderful, but when taken to an extreme the concept snares the
family into a frantic pace where time for hanging out, the essence of
childhood, is completely squeezed out."
Finding the sweet spot in the balance between nothing to do and scheduled time (meaning--we need both!) is a key to happy homes and learning.
Do you tend to over-schedule, or miss out on the right opportunity? Or both? Perhaps an Inventory, No and Purge* would be in order to help you clear your calendar, create the right kind of vacuum (where they are self-motivated to take on projects that they own), make time for your own education, and bring a little more peace and order to your life.
