Finding your child's passion through activities

    This year has totally opened my eyes to the great things that come with home schooling.Our daughter is in fourth grade and wow are we busy! but we remain focused on what is important,supporting her love for swimming and wanting to go to the Olympics one day.
    After spending many hours at our pool this summer Maddy has asked when she can swim with her coach and teammates  back at the local YMCA..
 Over the past few summers we noticed how much our daughter enjoyed swimming and how it seems to come easy to her. It also is one thing that helps her relax and cope with her ADHD.The water is also a good sensory calmer as the pressure helps her feel secure.. Being nine she has already found her passion and it's a skill she can treasure forever..
