I think partly why the circle wasn't working was because there wasn't a good time during the day to do it as we had to do the school run in the morning. Also, my program is just starting so we were a small group which made things difficult as my oldest daughter protested the loudest and when you only have one dck other then your own kids I didn't get very far. Once my school run is over (for good) this week I would like to implement the circle again as a part of our routine.
