Thoughts:
Reading a book from a mom who has been there, and more times than I have, was a blessing. Many times when I read something from someone I feel they are just giving text book answers or ideas. It is really hard to find the truth out there and get answers from someone that has actually done it and done it with several kids. Kendra talks about a schedule being the biggest help, but the schedule is more routine. I have to agree with her, small children thrive on a routine. If they know what to expect everyday they will get used to it. This is where I fall short though. I live by the seat of my pants and I know that is what makes it harder for me to deal with teaching my kids and trying to keep the baby occupied. Another key is circle time, this is something we do. I try to do as much as a whole family as we can. If I can do one subject with everyone we are in heaven. Plus reading books together is fun for us all and allows us to to activities together over the book. Then of course you must have Christ in your heart. If it wasn't for Christ pushing me to homeschool I would never survive. I have tried several times to put my children in public school and each time something has made it impossible. I know this is the work of him and telling me that it is my job to teach them, not the school.
This was a great easy read. I suggest any mom schooling more than one kid read this no matter their age. I think there are things that everyone could benefit from it. We all can use tips in how to wrangle the kids at school time, and this book gave some great ones.
