First finishes of the year 2017

Hello Dear Friends!
It has been such a long time since I was here. Life has been very though on me these past months; I have been working like 2 persons  jobs; 11+ hours a day and 60+ hours a week.Working such long hours is inhuman.But everybody kept telling me ; since I am the boss, it doesn't matter working that much!Honestly I do not mind working that much; but try doing that when you have a 7 year old boy with ADHD.Our consulting psychiatrist advised us to use Ritalin but after too much consideration we have decided against it.I ended up spending more time with my Little Man and so far we are doing great. He actually started taking piano lessons and he hasn't quit yet after 3 months and he has made progress.
He plays football two times a week and he will start swimming again in April.We do all the homework together- usually 15 minutes homework takes us an hour to finish- we read books aloud to each other and this has encouraged him to read and he has made quite a progress on that department too.My studies are on hold I have only 2 credits to graduate but have no time;hopefully I will manage this semester. I had two burnouts in the meantime but had to recover quickly.And the great news is that I have managed to finish to of my works in progress...


I need to get back to work. Have a lovely week-end!
Gaia.

  1. So glad to see you back but sorry there is so much going on. My oldest had ADD and swimming everyday saved him. He did not go on medication until he was older and it worked really well. But the swimming, the exercise and the cross patterning helped to organize hi, so he could learn. Best of luck.
