Back to Business

The boys really enjoyed their two weeks of Karate Camp, but Daddy was getting a bit burnt out trying to get everyone out of the house and to camp on time, so we are back to the business of Daddy Day Camp.

We noticed something interesting the last couple of weeks - well, actually, I didn't figure it out until last Thursday. Building up to then, we've noticed the kids fighting more with each other, constantly being negative, beligerent and complaining of boredom. One would think this attitude would have improved with the addition of camp.

It dawned on me Thursday night that we'v ebeen all business inhtis house. Get dressed. eat your breakfast. go to camp. The conversations between parent and chid have been all business. No wonder why we were all so cranky!

Since Friday, we've made a deliberate effort to talk with them and do things with them. Not that we have given control over to them, but we are reminding them that we aren't Ogres and we can be fun too! the change in their behavior was immediate!
