From the bathroom one morning, my son proclaimed, “I am self-disci-planned!”
Oh, I said, delighted by this new word and my son’s enthusiasm. What is self-disci-plan?
“It’s when you make a plan, and then you do it!”
At school, they are walking learners of all ages through “The Seven habits of High Effective Kids” and this month’s habit is to begin with the end in mind. It’s set us up for a lot of conversations about things he wants to do in the future – studying engineering to work with cars, saving up every month to buy a red GMC Sierra pick-up truck, the process of learning how to drive, delaying gratification so treats and sweets are fully enjoyed, and financing a family adventure van for epic road trips.
I love this book, and it’s aligning really nicely with our homeschool values of resilience, connection, problem-solving, and developing a sense of self.
