As a homeschooling family, I feel following a schedule helps keep our days flowing smoothly. My children know what to expect and they aren’t kept guessing at what is coming next. Even before we started homeschooling I organized my days around a simplistic schedule. It helped me to feel less stressed. I accomplished more. And my little boys knew what to expect.
Head over to At The Well to read the rest of my most recent article.
Great article, Jenn.
ReplyDeleteI could not imagine not having a schedule.
I agree it helps when it comes to bedtime.
Of course it has to be flexible, but I think schedules are important for the parents and the children. We all need some type of structure. It's important to be good stewards of our time!
Stumbled upon your blog this morning and blessed by your posts and photos! Following along with you now and hope you'll stop by my place for a visit sometime....I love meeting new bloggin' Sisters in the Lord!!

Great article Jenn!
ReplyDeleteMy family functions best on a schedule and infact it's something we NEED!
I found you over at "women at the well ... titus 2 woman" or something to that effect *smile* and thought I would come over to leave a note.
ReplyDeleteWe have a five year old and a three year old. Our five year old knows the rutine and our three year old wonders if she can change it. Oh the joy of training up children. We are in the thicket of things and it helps to read of other mommas further down this path who have victory stories from this season. Thank you for sharing yours. We are also new coming down the home schooling pike and are trying to get connected in our area with other home schooling families.
I pray that as the children learn you see the growth in you as well and that in growing your beloved husband and yourself grow ever closer to the Lord. Know that God is love. Sincerely, Mommy of two little blessings & so much more!
