Today’s encouragement starts with a question. What was the best thing that happened in your homeschool last week? Take a moment and think through all the ah-ha moments, the tender moments, the brilliant moments.

Now, I encourage you to spend this week looking for a new best thing in your homeschool. Pay attention to your child’s kind acts, learning break-throughs, sharing times. When you notice something, file it away and then keep watching for the next best thing. At the end of the week, you will have a long list of all the amazing successes that might otherwise have gone unnoticed!

You are essentially shifting your focus from what your child can’t do and what is going wrong to what your child CAN do and what is going well. Make sure you recognize your child for all the accomplishments you notice throughout the week. You will BOTH benefit from this!

Homeschool Happy!
