I was happy to see that she was going to miss T4L during the winter break. We just took each day, one day at a time, and allowed her time to play with her siblings, other family members and when we needed down time or when the other kids were involved doing other things that were not age appropriate Natalie went online to do her lessons. We traveled frequently over the last week spending up to 8 hours in our van and stuck in traffic many times. This was one of those times when I wish I could access T4L offline. However, when we arrived at GrandPop's house she immediately noticed that his computer was up and running and asked to go on T4L. To Natalie, T4L is not so much about "education" as it is about the game and the feeling of accomplishment when she finishes her lessons. She gets very excited and always looks forward to getting 100% on her quizes. Sounds like many of the kids here have the same feeling about this program. I am glad to be a part of this community. Everyone, hope your new year is filled with love, peace, health and happiness!!
