Seriously Suzanne-Hey Momma, Who are you trying to impress?

Seriously Suzanne-Hey Momma, Who are you trying to impress?

When you feel that steam beginning to rise, you become short and snappy, and you say a phrase more than once (you're driving me bananas was mine) - it's time for a time out. You can have those moments. You WILL have those moments! Just have a plan. My plan was to sit under the table. Unlike the momma who put her apron over her head to pray (it was Susanna Wesley - look it up!), my place to settle, my time out, was under the table. Our five littles, ages 1 to 7, would crawl under with me, stroke my damp cheeks, pet my hair, or crawl into my lap, "We're all being quiet now, momma. Momma, see? We're quiet. We can be quiet. We can say here until you're ready." I would feel embarrassed, but it was needed. Sometimes once a month, other times (especially during pregnancies, once a day.) Don't lose your cool... just before it happens... find your time-out spot. And it's ok if they join you there. Maybe it's under a blanket, in a corner, or under the table like me - you're showing the children that when things get too much, you need a small retreat. And it's ok! Where does this come from? Who are you trying to impress? You are not failing. Listen to a message I would have told myself if I could go back and talk to my younger self. #charlottemasonhomeschool #FlipFlopSpanish #SpanishGeniuses #Homeschoolinglife #homeschoolingmom #homeschoolmomlife #SeriouslySuzanne

Sibling Rivalry What can we actually DO about it

Sibling Rivalry What can we actually DO about it

We have five children - born within 6.5 years of each other. At some point they were 1.5,2,4,5,7 ... Now they are 14.5,16,18,19, 21 (yes - that half a year matters to the youngest, lol!) What can WE actually help or prevent sibling rivalry- especially in the homeschool life? Take a listen: 1) Communicate! 2) Give them a REGULARLY PLANNED place and time to bring their complaints of injustice 3) Apologize and Change

Seriously Suzanne Episode 7: No Spanish Alphabet?

Seriously Suzanne Episode 7: No Spanish Alphabet?

Because See it and Say it Flip Flop Spanish teaches how to speak Spanish in the same way we learned our first language, the alphabet is  not a focus. We learn to communicate what the NEEDs, WANTS, and LIKES  are first, and once your brain is accustomed and comfortable with that,  more depth, more vocabulary, is added. Nouns are the first thing our  brains want to communicate about. So that's what the cards show.  However, since we are older, we want to make a phrase, which is why you  can build a complete sentence within the first three minutes of your  lessons with SiSi - build from success to success!

So, adjectives like colors and numbers come much much later.

And  there's an extended lesson on the vowels and letters and how they sound  for the scholar level students. I made it viewable for anyone, not just  subscribers. You'll see a page with the vowels on it in your SiSi manual  as well. 🙂

(You can also check out Charlotte Mason Foreign  Language Method and see how similar we are in our procedures.)
