Best advice I can give you is this: allow for adjustment, expect there to be difficult days, allow yourself to make changes as needed when they are what is best for you and yours and don't be too hard on yourself if it is not "perfect". We've only been at it a week here, and it seems I'm the one who has had more melt downs because I see it needs to be done and I calculate the time and I over-plan and well...I am still learning my kids in so many ways schooling-wise as well as the curriculum (which is great, just so different than what they are used to). My oldest is super self-directed and my middle kid is not. Did I mention I have a 3 year old in tow, too? We purposely plan the most difficult/involved things for each of them when she is napping. :)<br /><br />I know that the hardest thing for me is realizing that a daily plan is just that: the plan. Sometimes plans need to change. I am confident we will find our rhythm...we just aren't there just yet. :)<br /><br />Best of luck to you! You will be in my prayers, and I hope I will be in yours! :)Julie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08104182743789328687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870655864894461639.post-44680323279863689222013-09-09T09:11:05.626-05:002013-09-09T09:11:05.626-05:00I'm homeschooling mine as well, only I plan on...I'm homeschooling mine as well, only I plan on it for the long-haul.<br /><br />Make teaching something that happens throughout the day! While playing with cars on the floor or something point out the colors on the cars, count them, spell "c-a-r", things like that. It doesn't have to be a "lets sit down and have school time" thing right now. <br /><br />Get lots of books - there are so many wonderful children's books out there. Visit the library often. Some of our favorites were Chicka-Chicka-Boom-Boom, Knuffle Bunny, Goodnight Moon, Guess How Much I Love You, the "David" series ("No! David" and others), and anything by Eric Carle.<br /><br />Just don't stress over it, and have fun :-)<br />Stopping by from SITs!!SuperMom Blueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15758565224646606614noreply@blogger.com
