Give 'em some "space"

My six your old daughter is homeschooled. She's having a hard time getting motivated about working on her school work. A few weeks ago, she was talking about a desk or her own work space. Light Bulb Moment! This is what she set up...



She's been more excited about doing her work ever since. I find it fascinating that many times our children can answer their own questions or come up with their own solutions to difficulties in their lives. As parents, don't we always want to come to their aid and SOLVE the problem? If we give our children a little space, many times they'll do it themselves. Isn't that what we want for our children...to learn to be independent and govern themselves? Who would have thought that her own "space", a little desk with her lamp and boom-box, would aid in accomplishing her studies? Good job, Babe!

More to Come...but until then, Stick-to-it!
