I tried to teach my daughter to build extra time into her schedule so that she would be early and not late, but teenagers often do not value our opinions. Finally, I told her that if she wasn't ready to leave for school by a certain time, I would not take her to the carpool rendezvous spot. The day came when she wasn't ready and I refused to drive her. She called another mom and got a ride to school. She was never late again. She later told me that she was so embarrassed, she didn't want to have to call for a 2nd bailout.Marcia Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470863700140512475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824319701176485167.post-73440392194069078842013-12-08T11:05:16.059-06:002013-12-08T11:05:16.059-06:00what a great post!!!

These are all great ideas and I already do have a lot of these set in place. I do read to and listen to my Children read everyday. They get 9 hours of sleep every night. They have whole grain cereals and some mornings I will get up a little earlier to make pancakes or eggs and toast. I send them to school with a healthy snack and they have hot lunch every day unless they are serving chicken dippers, lol, then I will pack them a nice lunch. When they come home they get a snack and then we start homework. Then it's time to make dinner and I let my Daughter help with the measurements and add ingredients. Not only does that help her learn math but she will learn to be a good cook too. She too is great help with the shopping list and telling me the prices. It is very important that they go to school everyday on time. My kids know that they have to really be sick. The only time I keep them home is if they have a fever or have gotten sick during the night. Sadly a lot of parents don't follow these steps, I didn't realize until you read some of the newsletters sent home. Apparently a lot of parents let their kids just stay home. I guess they can't see or care how important it really is to their future. I like the idea of adding of the writing, although my Daughter does keep a journal here lately. I guess were not doing too bad. Thank you for sharing this, it reassure me that I'm doing something right.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112407679775877387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824319701176485167.post-53586348182881580042013-11-30T14:24:01.525-06:002013-11-30T14:24:01.525-06:00Thank you for the wonderful advice.
