| Greetings! |
We at TOS know how hard it can be to teach young children the basics. That's why we make available FREE resources like the Preschool Academics E-Book and the Kindergarten Korner, featuring TOS articles filled with helpful advice on how to teach your child in the early years. We know that early learning takes constant repetition and perseverance from you and your child. But in the end, when your child reads that first sentence, you are blessed with a feeling of overwhelming accomplishment!
This week's reader, Tammy, has just completed her first year as a homeschool mom of a preschooler, but she worries about next year. She knows from here on, learning will be more intense, and she wonders how she'll ever keep up with homeschooling her young daughter and taking care of her ill, aging mother. Both need her constant attention. Is it possible to homeschool while taking care of an aging parent? You tell us.

Dear Minute to Minute Readers,
Help!!!! I am new to homeschooling. How do I homeschool my preschool age daughter and take care of my aging mother at the same time? My mom requires constant attention to see what she is doing and where she is. She constantly interrupts me when I do preschool with my daughter now. She interferes greatly, and it is a challenge to even teach ABCs and 123s. How in the world can I start homeschooling my daughter in Kindergarten? Thanks for any help you can give.
A New Homeschooling Mom,
Tammy
