Bad Year Homeschooling? Hit The “Reset” Button

The school year is over.  Perhaps it wasn’t as successful as you had hoped. The best solution is to not give up.  It’s not too late, and you haven’t ruined your child forever.   You do realize that all children will sometimes have a “bad year” right?

For encouragement, listen to this encouraging song by TobyMac Lyrics
Music: “Get Back Up” Lyrics by TobyMac

You turned away when I looked you in the eye
And hesitated when I asked if you were alright
Seems like you’re fightin’ for your life
But why, oh, why

Wide awake in the middle of your nightmare
You saw it comin’ but it hit you out of nowhere
And there’s always scars when you fall that far

We lose our way, we get back up again
It’s never too late to get back up again
And one day you gonna’ shine again
You may be knocked down, but not out forever

We lose our way, we get back up again
So get up, get up, you gonna’ shine again
It’s never too late to get back up again
You may be knocked down, but not out forever

You rolled out of the dawning of the day
Heart racin’ as you made your little get away
It feels like you been runnin’ all your life
But why, oh, why

So you pull away from the love that would’ve been there
And start believin’ that your situation’s unfair
But there’s always scars when you fall that far

This is love callin,’ love callin,’
Out to the broken this is love callin’
This is love callin,’ love callin,’
I am so broken
This is love callin,’ love callin’

If you don’t like contemporary Christian music, then think about the song “Tomorrow” from Annie.  You know, the little red-haired girl who sings, “The sun will come out tomorrow!”  It will get better!

It’s never too late to get back up again.  You may be knocked down, but it’s not forever.  You can start again!  Next year will be better.  Take a summer break, then hit reset in the fall.
