If I'm Diapering a Watermelon, Then Where'd I Leave the Baby?
| Why do we start for the kitchen to get a drink for a child, get sidetracked by a paperclip on the floor and end up weeding in the garden with no idea why our child is still thirsty? As a self-proclaimed "Gloriously Unregimented Mom", Carol shares stories and strategies from the heart (and from the trenches!) about living in a home run by a mom whose brain hasn't had a linear thought since 1988 (pre-children). She brings to light the many "truths" distractible moms must own if ever they are to develop strategies that work. Best of all, Carol shares her firm conviction that the highly distractible mom has a real and God-given edge over the naturally organized mom. Who'd have thought? Learn strategies for coping in a world that loves order but also, learn to celebrate how you've been made. |  |
How Do I Get My Child Off the Refrigerator and on to Learning?
| How do you teach a child with an
impossibly short attention span? Why does 20 minutes worth of
homework take 3 hours? This home schooling mom of a
supercharged, highly distractible child shares the practical tips
that turned their home schooling from an exercise in pain and
frustration to one of pleasure and success. Topics include, putting
motion into learning, making math fun, the unique difficulty with
writing and decreasing distractions. Also a thought provoking
commentary on “What was God thinking?” when he put such
qualities in your child.
Filled with practical ideas used by public school districts, Sunday School teachers, therapists homeschoolers, and parents helping with homework. It's a resource you'll put to use immediately and come back to again and again. Click here to see inside this book, read reviews, or buy at amazon.com. |
