There are plenty of times when life happens right?  I know it has happened here.  No matter how hard you try things seem to skew badly out of control.  Taking a bit of time to look for a solution only seems to throw things further into chaos as well.  How are we supposed to cope with this and still ensure that our children receive the necessary education?  The best solution is often taking a break.  Not only will this allow your child some relief from the stressful situation, but you will be able to take the time needed to straighten out your situation.  If you are determined to get started before things are straightened out you will usually find that things only get worse.

Never feel bad about taking a small break.  These are often quite useful to allow you time to get back on track and ensure that you can devote proper attention to the materials that you are wanting to cover.  After all, a small break never hurt any child.
