For years to come those kids will have the tools you gave them and who knows how they will put them into play. Thank you so much for saying you are glad to see me at Weekend Brew. I just love Barbie and am so glad you are partnering with her in this aspect of her blog.

As a teacher I used to have class meetings once a week or as a special need arose. It was a wonderful way to form community. Thank you for sharing at The Weekend Brew.

It may not go perfectly every time, but it is such a great tool and it blesses everyone so much as long as we all stick to the guidelines we set out. It's a work in progress, but you'll never regret trying it. I'm so glad you stopped by Hearts Homeward. You are a blessing.HeartsHomewardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345217407843497124.post-24689611252129423722015-05-03T21:08:12.577-07:002015-05-03T21:08:12.577-07:00This is great!

Always blessed by your sharing at The Weekend Brew.Barbiehttp://myfreshlybrewedlife.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345217407843497124.post-91436181815503574122015-05-03T10:32:47.297-07:002015-05-03T10:32:47.297-07:00Thanks, Tamryn.

He thought I was joking, but I said, "Time to go, you can go as is." He gathered up some pants and a shirt and scurried to the car. It is so much more lovely and loving when we can let the consequence teach them instead of our nagging or raising our voices. I've not been perfect in this (at all), but I have grown into a place of empowerment and it is blessing all of us, the more I grow. Thanks so much for coming here and sharing your experience. You are welcome back anytime.HeartsHomewardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345217407843497124.post-13940353235883513262015-05-01T19:48:09.763-07:002015-05-01T19:48:09.763-07:00This really beautiful.

If they aren't in their school uniforms by 8:30 they will be attending school in their pajamas and things like that.Tamryn de Labordenoreply@blogger.com
