Summary

What do you do when you have a kid (or two or more) who do not like Morning Time? As much as we want to think that our kids will be as enamored with the idea of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty as we are, sometimes that just isn't the case -- especially when we start building a Morning Time habit after our homeschools are already established.
 
Today I am joined by Dawn Garrett, Community Manager here at Your Morning Basket, and we chat about solutions to this very problem. We talk about flexing schedules, honoring your kids' time, age-appropriate activities, and yes, when it is okay to require them to stay and have a decent attitude.
 
All of that wrapped up in one (hopefully) helpful show.

when our kids, or a kid, doesn't like morning time? So at my

house, this is one child in particular who complains a little bit about morning time. We think

0:50.1

that happens a lot in different families where it's not necessarily every kid but it's one kid

0:56.2

or one or two kids even among kids who previously had really liked morning time and there comes a

1:04.4

point where maybe they're not digging it quite as much as they used to so what do do you do in a case like this? Is there anything

1:12.4

you can do at all? And should you push through if someone is not liking morning time and

they're complaining about it and generally sometimes making other people miserable?
