Homeschooling Families--Question
When do you do the things that require, say, reading aloud to your student(s)? Do you try to get the dcks to stay quiet enough for your child to hear you reading and focus? Do you try to do it in a separate room? Or do you just have to wait for naptime?
We'd been "waiting for naptime" but in reality that has led to those subjects never getting done. I'm trying to find a different pattern. |
We do some stuff during naptime but stuff that requires both of us and lots of focus we usually hold off on until the evening or weekend schooling times.
|
I engage DCKs in engrossing activities like playdoh, rice play, usually something sensory and go from there.
|
I think it depends on what you prefer. I like to do quite a bit of schooling that involves my direct interaction with my son on the weekends when I can give him my full attention. We can knock out a large amount of curriculum this way. If you don't like to do school on weekends then I'd suggest training DCKs to do quiet activities at certain points of the day so that you can focus on schooling for a block of time.
|
How many hours per day/week would you say you spend homeschooling? I'm considering it for my 8yr old but having DCKs worries me that he'll just get further behind than ahead like if hope.
I recently posted this on another forum and don't know where to go to start... Originally Posted by : |

I understand wanting that naptime break (believe me I get it) but sometimes you just have to do it. Or give the kids a weekday off, and do a weekend day. |
