I don't think not being organized makes me any more creative, but I do think it allows for a certain amount of flexibility -- but if the flexibility is overwhelmed by a search for the keys, who cares? I don't actually care about early reading, but I do care about my kids having a sense of order and the space to be quiet -- which can be hard in clutter.....Robin Aronsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080623538120396969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-71764178708112747192009-03-02T00:32:00.000-08:002009-03-02T00:32:00.000-08:00hmmmmmm, i am uber organized but not so neat if th...hmmmmmm, i am uber organized but not so neat if that makes sense. i can navigate the rubble but have a tendency to plan things to a fault. it only takes one time not packing extra underwear for Nels or forgetting to bring my pump to work...but at times, it really does make me wonder if i'm stifling creativity (for myself as well!). i guess i should let the routine fly out the window on some days. as for the reading i figure they'll pick it up when they do, right? (swiss kids don't even formally begin until they are 7)...it would be interesting to see these studies continue into adulthood because who really cares if you have an 'early' reader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
