Re: [Unschooling-Discussion] *me* time
Heather Hall
This is right around the corner, and I'm sure I'll miss this part
sometimes when it's gone, I just don't have the energy to keep up with
them and I feel bad about that. It's hard to keep a toddler or two
happy from a chair. Music is one thing Sandra reminded me that I don't
use enough. My kids *love* to dance and have me clap for them. I plan
to trade our current TV time for music time and that will help them
release more of their energy more positively. Also continuing to try
the next fix it for fatigue. I guess I'll just keep trying til
something works.

Why trade one for the other?
Do both.
Watch music videos, or sing-alongs or kid-concerts. There are two Raffi in
concert videos my kids LOVED, loved.
