Story

There was a really hyper boy. His mom and dad gave him a horse made out of Sour Patch Kids. When he rode on the horse, he started to eat it. The horse became unbalanced and fell with the boy on it. The boy came home hurt so his mom and his dad gave him a chocolate dragon.  Whenever he said to breathe fire, the dragon did as it was told and the dragon started to melt. So that meant he crashed into a tree again. When he went home, his mom and dad gave him a spinach snail. That meant that he had to go slow. He learned how to be patient and not to go hyper.

The lesson is not to eat too much candy. Listen to your elder sibling, not to your lower voice.

RAW: Don’t eat your favorite food, snack, or candy for a week.

Review

We discussed being organized, clean, and healthy- and when we had honey-covered hands, it was difficult to focus. We read a story about a man who is super organized and when a mythical creature came, he could get photos and notes, unlike the other people who were not organized.

Story

A person named ______ always ran around, doing things right then and there. Once they were going back to their home through the woods and running like a mad person and those creatures in the forest thought something bad had happened to them. They were right. He tripped on an ogre’s foot and broke his leg, limping back home. His parents were wizards and they gave them a horse made up of Sour Patch kids. When he was riding the horse, he ate almost all the candy, and the horse (named Bimbo) fell. Then they had to limp back to their house. Their parents gave him a dragon made up of chocolate. When the dragon was flying they ate a lot of chocolate and each time with the dragon blowing fire, the dragon’s face melted and fell. They got even more hurt and went back home. Their parents were disappointed and gave them a snail made of spinach. The snail was named Lemon-drop (totally unrelated to spinach!). They realized that they should eat less and be in control. 

Lesson

We learned to be more prepared as that helps you in life and eat more healthy food. 

The mind is the younger kid and the intellect is the older kid. The younger kid grabs your cookie and eats it, while the older kid’s brain calms down and shares the cookie. The older kid is more calm and thinks faster, while the younger kid is focused on wanting the cookie, fast. The mind leads to confusion and intellect helps think through, so intellect should overpower the mind.

Activity

We wrote in the chat about one of the food items we like a lot and parents say that it is not healthy and eat it in moderation. We know that food item is bad for our health and it makes us feel worse than if we do not eat them.

Reflection Adventure of the Week

Give up your favorite unhealthy snack for a week.
