How is Residential Setting Useful

These are the extraordinary insights from a teen. I listened with admiration.

1. The staff are on the job unlike parents, in shift system 24-7. Nothing slips by them. There is no scope for manipulation.
2. Exercise three times a day that releases endorphins.
3. Board games with staff that involve trivia and personal sharing, conversation and connection.
4. Rituals like super clean up day where we are all charged with cleaning our rooms once a week.
5. Projects with limited resources that enhance creativity, stretch thinking capabilities, help to tolerate frustration, and foster team work.

I since, shared these tips with moms who do home schooling to use this frame of thinking.
