We are going to start our return back to school with a major adjustment in our daily life.
The kids are going to be “electronic free” for the remainder of the month. I am doing this as a cleansing for all of us.
We need to reset our life. I feel out of control with my kids, and they definitely know it, and are playing on it.
I am pushed to the limits, exhausting patience almost immediately on a daily basis.
I am so over the video games, as these kids don’t listen, or even pay attention to the world around them.
This is going to be something that not only affects our down time, but I expect the kids to gain responsibility around the house, learn about taking initiatives, and just becoming better citizens in our world.
I also started reading a book on stress. I have loads of it. I bring it in the house, and unload on the children frequently.. it’s not ideal. It’s harmful, and can cause health related illnesses later in life. I don’t want to do that to my children!!!
So, starting today, we are going to experience freedom from electronics, videos, video games, you name it.
Let freedom ring… patience grow, love deepen, voices soften, and initiatives kick in…
On to new habits… 🙂
We can do it, if we put our mind to it..
