One of my concerns when I started homeschooling was getting in my children’s fitness. Public School have just about taken PE out of all schools now. But really after putting more thought to it my girls are so active I really didn’t have to work anything special into our schedule. My girls are on a swim team that swims mostly year around and practices 4-5 days a week. I bet they get more than most kids do. I know I sure get the driving in…driving back in forth to practice and all.
Along with that I thought ok I need to also teach health to them. I know, I know….as parents we do that already! Just sometimes when they hear it from some other source it sticks with them. Like when I took my girls to the dentist they were so scared that it was going to hurt. My oldest actually still kinda has anxiety going to dentist. Maybe because the last time she went she had 4 teeth pulled. Her baby teeth were not coming out in time for the others to take over. She made it through that ordeal just fine. I found that these dental games have helped them understand some of the dental hygeine issues they have.
Where was this stuff when I was growin up?

I still have horrible dental phobia. The first #$%#&*# that I took my son to gave him a root canal when he wasn’t even two years old. Strapped him down to a pappose board and screamed at him the whole time that I was gonna leave him there. It took me a long time to take him to another dentist. I had them.
