Why does school have to be this hard?

How can we create a family plan that supports our individual and shared goals?

Tim and I figured out the logistics and hoped it would provide a physical outlet and a transition between school and evenings at home. Diane helped us create a plan that worked for our family goals and reminded us of the important connection between the boys’ physical development and how it supports better rest at night and contributes to their overall learning." (Tim & Bianca)
