Art of Learning

Staying on Track

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....
