Focusing on Fun

I am a stellar teacher. I have a schedule, I have an agenda, and I have a whip to keep those little distracted kids in line. But you know what I forgot?

Fun.

I get so caught up in advancement, that I forget to let the family enjoy the present. God reminded me today that there is a place for rest. Just as adults can get burnout, children can, too, when we push them and push them without any respite or playtime.

Kids can learn while they're playing, too, and it's much less of a battle!

So off we go to the Children's Museum, to "play" about China.
