Ten minutes around the table
|
Hi Reader! If you're wondering where a Growth & Gratitude lesson would fit into your day, try the table while everyone is finishing a snack. Here's one way to use the kit:
A child who finds writing difficult can answer aloud. Someone who needs time to think can listen first and respond later.
The kit also includes ten-minute lessons with a teaching guide, Scripture and neuroscience cards, activity pages, and posters you can display as reminders. The 25-page PDF is available instantly for $9.95 (regularly $12.95). It's a practical way to make space for conversations about growth and gratitude in a day you already have planned. With gratitude, Join us at Homeschool Essentials |

At a calmer moment, try asking: 'Which part feels tricky right now?' Give them some time. Their answer might help you see whether they need an example, help getting...
