Good afternoon !

We start our lessons first thing in the morning now, because finishing them is a reward and then we get all the free time we want.

But when they were younger we needed to get some of the busy energy out before we did lessons.

Calm Activities for Younger Kids

10 Indoor Energy Burning Activities

I always found it easier on all of us to work out the wiggles before I tried to get them to do any type of sit-down work.

I also never required my kids to sit. 🤷‍♀️ There is no reason for a little body to be forced to sit still. My kids have done a lot of their work standing at the table or counter, whatever was more comfortable for them. Brook used to be her math under the dining room table, I dunno why, maybe she liked the fort feel of it.

Find what works for your kids.

Have a great day!

Ashely

P.S. Find something fun to do with your kids outside of lessons. Something like the (aff) Green Kid Crafts subscription box. They are fun, empowering the next generation of environmental leaders using creative, nature-based STEAM activities.
