• Mar. 13, 2008 - Vision Exercises Went Better Today

Posted in teaching moments

I just finished my son's exercises with him, and what a different attitude he had today! I think I caught him at the right moment, and it might have also helped that I let him listen to his MP3 player while we did it. And I did the exercises in a different order.

Thanks so much for the encouraging comments and prayers yesterday. I expect that helped, too!

I actually do have a reward/consequence system in place for my kids. So the "discipline" he experienced yesterday was losing his reward. Sometimes the carrot works, and sometimes losing the carrot makes a bigger impact!

I am so glad that things went better for you today. There are times that I have to remind myself over and over (and over and over) that consistancy really does pay off in the long run! It is so hard for me to keep on track when my littles are resistancing. Good for you for staying consistant. Keep up the good work! It will pay off. Have a great weekend! :)

New blog template coming? Is that what I hear? How fun! Hope you are doing well. I've been slow on the blogging lately. I'm getting ready to uncover a new site for homeschoolers. It's not a community site, but a very educational sites for all home educators. Be looking for the announcement come April 1st. Ohhh.... I will be holding a contest for bloggers during that week, too. Fun stuff!

Have a great Saturday.
