lesson drops
```````````````````````````````
➰ a space that has lessons which have been dropped into my lap, and I totally dropped the ball on it....lessons after the reflection, after the situation has passed, after the guilt is gone from missing the lesson in the moment....the "damn, why didn't I think of that when it was happening?"
➰ also a space with lessons the universe has given my family, and I ran with it, expanded on it, catalogued it in my brain for next learning concepts, smiled BIG at it, took motherly-educator pride in it.....the "YES! This is a learning opportunity, teaching opportunity, brain challenging opportunity, and let's keep it going!"
➰ a space that will identify the "learning objective" as it presents itself naturally in every day living. The space that says, "Every day living becomes a learning opportunity." If my children were in a school setting, they would get these same lessons in science, math, reading, writing, gym class, art class, etc., etc. They are not getting them because I have an educator's background. They are getting them because they are lessons that occur naturally in every day living. I can identify them because I have an educator's background. The difference is the lessons in school are given on a timeline or sequence that is usually not parallel with the child's interest, ability, or comprehension level at that time or in that moment. The lesson experience at home is richer, deeper, and sticks to the child's brain neurons more effectively and with greater strength, because it is relevant, interesting, engaging, self-motivated, etc., etc. Yes, a teacher in a school can create an environment that is relevant, engaging, self-motivated, etc., etc., but if the child's brain is not ready for it or is not prepped for it, the experience is not as rich or relevant.
➰ seek out *lesson drops* in *categories*. They can definitely be interlaced in *Stories* and *Running Chronicles*.
