Time Together

The most precious gift to give to those you love is your undivided attention.  Turn off the television or the podcast you’ve been listening to. Shut off the technology, put your phone away in the drawer and tune in to the people around you.  Talk and listen to one another, share your ideas, your feelings, your hopes, your joys.  Play a board game or a card game together, read aloud a story or chapter from a book and discuss it, laugh and be silly, share memories and plans.  Because home schoolers are together so much, we often forget to really connect, and we lose the opportunities to build those important relationships.  Let your presence be your present this Christmas and throughout the new year.
