Off the Hook
I’m letting you off the hook today.
You don’t have to prove to yourself that your kids are learning anything. You don’t have to evaluate or scrutinize or justify what they’re doing.
Instead—leave stuff in their path:
- an old toaster to take apart
- weathered deck chairs to paint any which way
- cookie recipes
- an open door to the backyard
- games and cards
- blocks, LEGO, Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs
- handcrafts, fabric arts
Or—big trust needed—NOTHING.
Enjoy the day for yourself and do whatever you like. Let your kids waste time.
We all need an unstructured, unjustified day once in a while!
Remember: it takes time to trust invisible learning.
