How can mom find time to study herself? What about laundry? And those 3 meals a day that everyone keeps wanting?
Here are a few tips:
- Control outside family commitments
- Remove distractions – possibly tv, newspaper, internet
- Purge home of unnecessary stuff – reduce need for maintaining your stuff
- Consolidate kids’ learning –group them together. Keep them doing what they do now
- Evaluate your schedule and find time to block off for study. Role model for kids.
- If I read, pushes kids to read and they see value of studying
- Relax – Don’t rush a timetable – for you or your kids. If you don’t feel the pressure to hurry through all these “skills”, you will spend more time really educating your kids and developing leaders of tomorrow
- Investment in mom’s education is not withdrawal from kids education, just the opposite.
BTW, read Little Britches or Laddie, too! GREAT BOOK J
