The morning can swallow your time if you don’t have a morning ritual in place especially when you’re homeschooling.
You wake up and do a few things like have a cup of coffee and read a book. You’re savoring your quiet time because you know your children will wake soon, and it’ll be about 16 hours before you’ll be off duty again.
Slowly, one child emerges, and then another, and then another. As they emerge, you spend some time with each child as the morning blooms.
You go into the kitchen to make breakfast. By now everyone is hungry and grumpy. You start cooking. You get through breakfast, and then it’s time to clean up.
You look at the clock and panic. It’s 11 a.m., and you haven’t started teaching a single subject yet!
Sound familiar?
THE MORNING RITUAL
This is how your morning will go if you don’t set a morning ritual in place. And when you’re homeschooling, you absolutely must have a morning ritual to be productive.
You also need a morning ritual in place so you don’t end up overwhelmed and exhausted.
