The important thing to remember is to have quality time with kids. There will never be enough quantity, so make the best out of the time you do have. Whether you are a parent finding time to read with your child each night, or a teacher squeezing every ounce of learning time available out of the day.
Remember to be present during the time that you do have. You may plan your day to the second, and there will always be a situation that destroys that plan. Be flexible...bend with the changes. Embrace them. Whatever you do, do not resist the changes. They are out of your control. The resistance to change will only cause misery for you and your kids.
Keep moving forward. When a plan does not work out, think on your feet. Decide a better course of action, and jump on it.
Most importantly, start each day fresh and new. Know that it is another chance to make an impression on learners, to mold a mind, to create an independent thinker. Remember what worked the day before and what failed miserably. Try new things, laugh, smile, have fun! Never give up trying until you find a plan that works for you and your kids. They are worth it!
