silliness
By sandyH

Clip to ScrapBook   
I agree that the silliness can sometimes seem to go a bit overboard and be disruptive. When I feel it starting to get to me though, I try to step back and remember that they are 9 and 10 years old. They shouldn't have to "take their education seriously" all the time. If they can't be silly now, when can they? I find myself joining in, having a good laugh, and then they will let me settle them down and get back on track. We could all do with a little more silliness now and then, don't you think?
