Have you ever noticed that the pace of the children seems to inevitably be slower than we want or would tend to go? 

What if this is actually God’s plan? What if slowing down is God’s way of helping our children learn and develop naturally, instead of having to force things?

Today I’m honing in on the need to slow down for the sake of the children.

I’m reading a little bit from my book, The Unhurried Homeschooler, and from The Four Hour School Day.

(Let me clarify that this isn't permission to let the children run the show. You are still the parent, always. However, it can be easy to run at a frenetic pace that simply isn't good for the children OR us!)

(If you haven't checked out my new book, The Four Hour School Day please do that!  As a 25+ year veteran homeschooling mom of 8, I share WHY you can give your kids a robust education in four hours a day or less!)
