There are so many stress-free activities for kids that I’m happy to share with you some suggestions for examining the stress in your life and ways to combat this. On the show notes page, I have a previous podcast on asking yourself ten questions to examine where the stress comes from and ways to combat the stress.

For me, one reason I stress is that I over-plan. Once I turn the calendar and see all the ways that stress happens,  I turn the calendar and think, oh my gosh, it is October, it’s soon Thanksgiving, and now Christmas is around the corner; instead of taking a deep breath, enjoying the cooler weather and making a cup of hot cocoa and snuggling up to read a book with the kids.

I typically take on more than I can handle. We homeschool moms are competent, and we can get so much done in a little time until it doesn’t happen. I was a volunteer at many places, and until my husband got my attention and I wisely listened, my life was one race after another to accomplish.

I realized that I had to have more patience with myself. I’m an idea person – I want to act on my ideas rather than sit on them and pray about them! I needed to put things in priority, and that helped me tremendously.

During the fall, there were so many things I wanted the children to experience and places I wanted to visit somewhere that has fall leaves, make cookies, study seasons, work on scrapbooks, do art projects, etc., etc. Just trying to fit in school and all these extra things became overwhelming, so the stress crept in!

Hopefully, these ideas will help you have a stress-free fall and enjoy your time with your children.
