The other day I was talking to a friend (who does know me) and we were talking about WarriorAcademy. I was telling her that next year we should change things up and have fun day randomly during the week- that way we don't get stuck with the same McDeal meal every week.
Then I got totalking, and when I talk I say stuff that when I think about later I can almost convince myself of. I've decided- I think I'm goingto write a book of my theories. I have a lot of them. And also, a book about lies from the enemy. I'll get started on those after I finish the book I'm currently working on. Anyhoo...
So I was talking, and I wasn't thinking, words were just coming out my mouth, and I was saying that making an exact schedule for kids every day is ridiculous. We say that children thrive when they have a specific agenda every day- but I've never really seen it. Plus, then there's the fact that it gets disrupted all the time by things out of our control- and so excuses begin to form around misbahavior, rather than discipline. We say "they just haven't gotten back into the routine" rather than, "I'm not going to tell you more than once."
I then began to think ahead, about school and how everyday there was a daily schedule on the board, and life was all planned out- and it sucked!
I started to realize that we- as adults- hate change because as 2, 3 and 4 year olds the adults then found it necessary to keep us inside a little box. We suck at thinking on our toes, and dealing with things as they come up because they don't fit into our little day-planner in which every minute is penciled out.

Now, I'm not against organization, or schedule, because you have to know whats going on- but a daily routine? I mean, seriously!
