[Podcast #258] Turning Around a Day Gone Wrong

Brave Writer Podcast

Ever have one of those days where the kids won’t stop bickering, everything seems difficult, and overall there’s just bad energy?

In today’s Brave Writer podcast episode, we give you tips and tricks on how to turn the mood around…or at least keep your own internal peace.

We give ideas that are focused on the body: movement and the five senses. We also give tips that are focused on the surroundings: making a small new setting in your home or even going out to new learning spaces.

Bad Moments, Not Bad Days

Bad moments are just that: moments. Moments end. Just because a day is going poorly doesn’t mean that day can’t get better. And, of course, bad moments, or even bad days, don’t mean that you have to lose your inner peace. It’s okay to sometimes put the kids in front of the TV, find a small space all to yourself, and eat some chocolate.

Concrete Ways to Stop Bad Moments and Start Good Ones

There are lots of ways to stop the downward spiral of your homeschooling day and start an upward spiral instead. Many of these have to do with changing the current physical experience of your kids:

  • go for an observation walk,
  • light a scented candle,
  • blow and pop bubbles,
  • do texture-rich handicrafts.

And don’t forget: with the holiday season coming up, make sure to let doting grandparents and other family members know that zoo and museum passes are a great gift. Sometimes, when your house is a zoo, the best option is to go to one!
