My middle turned 9 yesterday, and once again it was eye opening how fast the past 9 years has flown. He's not the kid that loves compliments, so we decorated the kitchen in the normal way - with tons of balloons on every cabinet - but this time around we wrote positive affirmations on all of them. I actually caught him smiling.
Maybe this could transfer into the classroom next year in some way... Ideas, ideas...
love this idea.. I have a 9 year old and he's a middle too!
