Being a stay at home Mum is HARD sometimes, and honestly, I know I often run low on ideas. Coming from an Early Childhood Education background, its not exactly a confidence booster and it feels a little low - I used to teach 15 kids a day (shared a room of 4 - 6 year olds with another teacher daily, 2 separate teachers through the week) and I can't even work out what to do with my own kids? Kids who I can take out to the park without a permission note, helpers and a bucketload of organisation?
SO this year is about pulling my socks up and teaching these kids both the normal things (we chew with our mouths closed, how to put on socks, new words to say and what they mean, to say thank you and how to listen... ha, stay tuned, that one might happen by the time they turn 18!), and the extras - science, math, sensory activities, art and craft, the beauty of independance and technology. I'm sure there will be plenty more along the way, but they're just my starters!
