Not sure what everyone elses kids do when they get home from school, but mine unwind. Play a game, watch tv, today the youngest 3 played house. I let them. I figure they are entitled to relax and have some fun. Well, I've never had a child struggle in school, til now. Ash always has something else on her brain, besides what she's doing. So she rushes through things and rarely gets things right. However it doesn't seem to bother her.
So today she played, we ate supper and then she explained the pile of homework she had to do. So we sat her down to get started. Steve went out side, a few children followed him and we heard the snowmobile going. Ashley was devastated! So we struck up a deal. 1 math paper was all she had to do. She was so frustrated she couldn't even add simple problems. She finally got her bearings, we finished the paper, she got her snow stuff on and had the BIGGEST smile and said, "THANKS MOM!" She's so happy! This is a child that NEEDS the outdoors. So, to say the least, not all the homework is done, but Ash is calm and happy. And I'm hoping she can focus enough to read before bed. If her teachers read this, I apologize :) But I know they'll understand.
