I love the feeling of space in a schedule, so don't plan too much to happen in a week...it's all very new this year with home education starting in earnest, but I'm hoping to go with the flow of the children, rather than try and inflict anything too structured on them from the off. Still, I feel rhythm is really important to children and family as a whole. Very hard to balance, we can but try our best :) xdevonmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464005249580526116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-62462177870018318642013-09-08T21:12:55.757+01:002013-09-08T21:12:55.757+01:00You are right about this time of year.

Definitely the right time to refresh and rethink and begin again.Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04104412226519227796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-60058549250728815952013-09-08T20:14:52.684+01:002013-09-08T20:14:52.684+01:00It's funny you should say that I felt the same...It's funny you should say that I felt the same about routine and structure when I first started home edding. I have found over the years that having a rhythm to our week keeps us anchored and even when the children have no idea about what day of the week it is they know if they go to one friends house the next day is shopping etc. Although we have a rhythm to our week we have no routine to each day, we do not do the same thing at 10am every day or on every Tuesday. I think if someone wanted to meet me at the same time and the same day every week I too would find that claustrophobic, but each to their own.sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-84662403294259869912013-09-08T15:56:02.922+01:002013-09-08T15:56:02.922+01:00I am quite fascinated by home-ed and always wonder...I am quite fascinated by home-ed and always wonder how different families balance routines and timetables during their days. It's always interesting to read about yours. <br /><br />I feel quite hemmed in by the routine of school and after school commitments. I have one friend who likes to see me same day, same time each week and I find it claustrophobic and want to almost keep the friendship at arm's length. Isn't it funny how we all react to routines and structure so differently? xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-38948020177440828742013-09-08T07:24:54.278+01:002013-09-08T07:24:54.278+01:00I'm a huge fan of home education, even though ...I'm a huge fan of home education, even though mine go to school.
