Well I have been successfully working/schooling both children for about an hour a day. Right now we are not doing a set curriculm but just going over the basics until after Labor Day. I will start Josiah with MFW curriculm starting then and Bailie I am not sure about yet. She loves to learn but does seem to get tired of sitting at the table quickly so I think I will give her more time. After all she is only 3 1/2....LOL
My main struggle right now is pulling Josiah and I out of our negative cycle. He is a master of redirection when he does not want to do something. His latest is closing his eyes and completely tuning me out. Talk about seeing red! I have got to find a way to make it enjoyable for both of us. I want him to enjoy the one on one that he has with me but yet understand that sometimes we need to do things that are not so fun.
Something a friend of my said really has stuck with me. She homeschools her children and is now in the last 4 years of schooling....
