Are You Here? 05/04/2010
 
Be present.  Right here, right now.  
Teaching our kids to be focused has to do with YOU (and me) being in the moment.  Are you doing that?  Or are you checking your iPhone for any new messages that you may have gotten and that message will still be there when you are finished helping your kids with that new math problem... breathe... Or, the one that always gets me out of the moment, the phone call from a family member that's calling to just say, "Hi!"  I'm finally learning to use my voice-mail so I won't feel guilty about trying to get off the phone too soon when really, I shouldn't feel bad that I'm teaching my kids... breathe again... So, we're breathing, we're using our voice-mail, we'll check messages later, we are HERE, right now, how do you answer roll call in class... PRESENT!   TM : )
