  • TIME FOR SCHOOL

    There is no typical home school day. What you do and when you do it is entirely up to you and your child. You may find a teachable moment at bedtime; you might find it at 2 a.m.
    We’re not advocating waking your child in the middle of the night, but the point is that even though there are teachable moments everywhere, you still need to have some sort of schedule to start with if you want to be a good teacher for your child.
    Start by setting a starting and ending time for lessons. Schedule in time for lunch, play time, and breaks for both you and your child. If you are toiling away endlessly at math with no end in sight, it makes for a tedious day.
    Plan the most rigorous work when your child is at their freshest. That’s not necessarily first thing in the morning, and it’s definitely not the last activity of the day. Mid-morning is a good place to start. Just be aware of your child and his or her moods. When they seem to be really paying attention, start the math or English lesson then.
    Hands-on projects are good to do in the afternoon. After spending time learning fractions and adverbs, art projects or science experiments are a fun way to help your child relax and de-stress.
    Allot time for each individual subject or just generalize time slots. For example, have academics in morning and projects after lunch.
    The reality is that kids like schedules. Kids feel safe with schedules. Kids feel more in control with schedules. When your child knows what to expect, he or she can better prepare for what’s in store without wondering what comes next.
    More than anything be flexible. Don’t let the schedule control you. It’s supposed to simply be a guideline to help you accomplish daily tasks. You may have to try many different schedules to find one that works the best.
    You may wonder just how it is you will get everything done. Not only the school part, but the house part as well. Believe us, it is possible.
