Homeschool Rhythms: Get Ready
from Homeschooling Outside the Box Hosted by Cindy Rinna
I have no doubt that when my children are grown people, making their way in the world, they will hear the faint refrain of my voice when they roll out of bed and get ready for their day: "Attitude-dressed-bed" And again after they have breakfast: "Teeth-face-hair-deodorant-zone" These have been the anthems of our mornings for years and my goal has been to create habits for them to help them (and myself) get the day off to a right start. If the phrase "get ready" sounds reminiscent of "on your mark, get set, go!" that's not an accident. Starting the day with a proactive posture is important. The day before us is a gift and the duty and stewardship we are bound to as receivers of that gift demand that we face the day boldly. A vibe of adventure and purpose can carry us through even the most mundane tasks. This applies to us as moms as well as our children. After all, if we are to train them in these ways, we should be modeling them ourselves. But if I sound overambitious and a touch unrealistic, just know that I don't usually wake up feeling this way and I know you probably don't either. That's why it all begins with attitude.
