Resistance

For the last month, my daughter has been give me a lot of resistance to doing her education.  There are two things that could be causing this change.  The first is not getting enough sleep.  I have been getting her up at 7am to go to the barn to take care of a horse that we rescued. She complains that she is tired.  So, we are going to start going to bed at 8:30pm and see how that goes.  I am tired myself, so I understand her current lifestyle.

The other things that could be a factor is that I am not making enough time to sit down with her like she likes me to and share her education experience with her.  I am quite busy and have many projects to finish before Christmas and having to stop and gather our thing to go to the barn is very anti-proactive.  Hopefully, we can get things done her to get our horse out here to the farm for that would make things so much easier and open up our time.

She still enjoys science, Bible, and math.  She still dreads writing. Any work that requires her to write so procrastinates and hem-haws the entire lesson.

Because of the re-adjustment of rescuing a horse in our schedule, my daughter has missed a lot of lessons and is now behind in this year. I will have to start making her do lessons on the weekend now to catch up.  It all my fault for not maintaining my bearing over our lifestyle.

She is still my sunshine.
