Being present with your kids and educating them sounds like a no-brainer, but sometimes you get dropped back into your life in a deeper way, and realize your child needs more from you than they are getting. Children are sponges, but they need constant reinforcement to remember and deeply learn concepts. You definitely can't expect that lessons they had three years previously will stick, even if they had something down packed. So excited to be doing homework with my son, as it is a wake up call to take time with him, to teach him lessons, and take opportunities to expand his horizons. Stress made me lazy. No more summer let-my-kid-zone-out on the computer mama, I have a child to raise, and he needs as much attention as my clients and career do. I think ADD may sometimes stem from too much technology, and too little practice with reading and listening comprehension.
