I have a rough outline of what we need to cover each week and just fill the workfolders the night before (usually). My struggles in this area lie in being consistent with my schedule and even those rough plans.<br /><br />There are days we don't start until ten or eleven. Sometimes we get all of our work done; often we do not. I also resist vehemently planning any housework time. It gets done when it gets done, which is almost never.<br /><br />As for subject areas, my daughter still strongly dislikes math and copywork no matter what approach I use. She also, oddly, has started protesting her catechism lessons from the textbook. The theme I am seeing is that she is expected to do much of this work on her own. Perhaps that is the real issue, not having mom read to her or walk her through step by step. Hmmm...<br />So, how to teach some independence and still encourage a love of learning?!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363342876858345776noreply@blogger.com
