I think it is like anything else, determining which battles we ought to fight hardest. A little distraction is healthy if it can be brought right around into the context of learning. We just have to watch for the opportunities.

I do find myself having a hard time determining the line between hands-on learning and them becoming completely distracted by the fun and dropping the learning part all together. But our boys are still young so I don’t think they’ll be completely ruined if I get it wrong sometimes. 🙂

I thought you’d be able to relate. 😉 I love seeing our boys play and learn together.

Thanks Nicole. I seem to need reminding often that we are raising men and that will usually mean noise, crazy experiments, and dirt. When I embrace the reality that they are learning a great deal by the work of their hands it seems to go much easier for us.

I love your flubber post! We made some on our first day of school last fall with a different recipe but the same great, fun results. I love that we get to bring learning to life for our children in these fun ways.
