Jill just called me and said, '...Great post Amy.<br />Jill just called me and said, 'how did you do 'the witching hours', the hours from 4:30 to 6:30 with 6 kids???<br />I told her to get her game face on! One year I got so tired of kids snacking from the moment they got home from school till dinner I tried some thing that was ingenious. I fed the kids a good meal at 4:00. Now they were happy and we could do the home work, piano, chores etc. When Greg got home the kids had a snack and chatted with him as he ate dinner. It worked--we had a great year.<br />I think the trick is to be willing to adjust, switch things up. Chore charts are great for some kids. I had a kid that worked well with a sticky note everyday. Do what works for each child. Pray daily, listen. Don't be afraid to get help from professionals.<br />And enjoy the journey because before you know it they will all be married with cute grandkids living far away. And I'm stuck home with a broken body--trying to be the best Nana I can virtually.<br />Life is interesting, yes.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693008883612962846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5135620350293548539.post-7924370418439200552012-09-13T12:25:45.424-06:002012-09-13T12:25:45.424-06:00You must have been inspired!
