Taking a short break from the topic of homeschool in the first of two mini-episodes.
This time talking about practicing gratitude and learning that it is ok to give yourself grace at times.

With the focus firmly on the grown-ups this time, we acknowledge that we all have times when we need to be kinder to ourselves.

The takeaway message being, that by looking for the good in our days, we will find more about ourselves to like, and then we can begin to move forward and grow in the new found faith in ourselves.

Over on Instagram and Facebook you can connect with me by sharing how you manage to practice gratitude in your day to day and if you have succeeded in making it a daily habit.

Next week, in the second episode we'll talk about the worries we have for our children and how they can not only affect our own wellbeing but also hinder their independence. What are the top five worries parents of young children have? Does having these worries take its toll on the adult relationships at home?

Finally, we'll look at how we feel about our children growing up. Can keeping your own separate interests, friends, and love life alive help prepare you for the inevitable fact that your children will leave home one day?
