Schoolhouse Support Contest ~ Circle Time

10:52 AM, Aug. 20, 2009

This contest is now

CLOSED!

 

The winner of this contest is: The Burtcher Family


Circle Time
By Kendra Fletcher
Preschoolers and Peace
www.preschoolersandpeace.com

"Help! I can't do this anymore! The toddler is flushing toys down the toilet again, and the baby is crying--I think she's teething; someone needs help with their math, and it's time to get ready for Dad to come home! How can I do this?" If you've ever felt this way, get ready for preschoolers and peace! What? Those two words don't go together, you say? Well, they do now!

Kendra Fletcher has written an E-Book whose subtitle is Plan the Best Part of the Day! Maybe you're like me, maybe you thought that the only "peace" was when the preschoolers took a nap and it was reading time for the older children! Now I realize that peace can come while everyone is awake, too! Circle Time is a 33-page E-Book that explains how you can have a peaceful time together learning and enjoying one another, yes, with preschoolers! In the book, Kendra explains how to plan a circle time (she suggests naming it something appropriate for your family) that includes everyone in the family. Getting all the children to participate is covered as well, so if you're thinking, "Not my 14-year-old, she'll never do it," then you must read what Kendra writes about how to get your kids on board. She even covers how to balance between unreasonably long for little ones and stopping short so little ones won't get bored.

What a great idea

I'm just starting homeschooling with my daughter (7) and my son (3 at the end of September). Without my attention, he'll spend hours on the computer playing games. I'm definitely looking for ideas to do with him. Thanks for the review. I'd love a copy of this book.


Need some peace with my preschoolers!

A few months ago we adopted our second daughter from China--they're both 3 yrs old now--and the adjustment period is finally beginning to level out. Two weeks ago we got our new daughter's first prosthetic leg and yesterday afternoon she decided to jump off the furniture and broke the heel completely off.

After a call to the prosthetist office, I searched the house for some super glue with no luck. While trying to get ready to go to the store, one tired girl pee-peed on our bed, the other tired girl had a melt down because she didn't want to potty and get her shoes on, telemarketers jingled the phone several times, I had to figure out how to put a quick temporary fix on the prosthetic foot or carry my daughter wherever we went and dinner time was in a couple hours.

If this E-book has recommendations for making preschoolers and peace symbiotic, I'd love a complimentary copy!
