Telling her to 'suck it up' really isn't working - actually - it's really making things worse! This was very timely for me!<br /><br />Thanks!Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291771284577996586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-59174416658863819372012-12-11T18:05:04.848-06:002012-12-11T18:05:04.848-06:00My eight year old has had to really work hard to l...My eight year old has had to really work hard to learn to read and write. He knows that he has to keep trying again and again. Imagine my surprise when I heard him encouraging his little friend who lives a few houses down from us. He was using the same phrases but applying them to learning to climb a tree. :) I am so proud of his perseverance and his desire to encourage his friend.Paulanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-55311807819133160382012-12-11T14:51:26.608-06:002012-12-11T14:51:26.608-06:00Thanks for this, Jess.

I'm not a home school mum, but frequently find myself struggling to encourage my son with different aspect of his home work or other tasks that seem out of his reach at the time. Thanks for the words that I can use next time I am face with "I can't".Ansiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06211680566519997686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-6050266699701321202012-12-06T20:31:39.175-06:002012-12-06T20:31:39.175-06:00What a good word for our kids, and also to us as h...What a good word for our kids, and also to us as homeschooling mamas...I've been having some of the hardest homeschooling weeks lately, but this is practice and hard work for me. Trusting that we've been called to do this and can do it in His strength, might we master more and more of these tasks, by His grace, just like our kids learning to master skills.Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431582190009767963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-35486613334377268182012-12-06T10:03:47.794-06:002012-12-06T10:03:47.794-06:00Thank you, Jess.

Lately I've been so discouraged with my kids' discouragement and so frustrated with their frustration that I've done poorly helping equip them to deal with the issue at hand. These practical words remind me of the Psalms that recount all the Israelites had been through with God. Great application. -JacquelineDueƱaDelBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646119191433015056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-51643130196626184452012-12-06T08:11:30.459-06:002012-12-06T08:11:30.459-06:00thank you so much for this! this is my first year...thank you so much for this! this is my first year of homeschooling and i definitely have been feeling less than capable lately as a teacher.
