Our...We are a homeschool family of three like you. Our ages are 11, 9, and 3. It's a challenge sometimes to find what will work best, but hang in there. It is certainly easier to do if you've had a chance to wake yourself and get your mind in the right place before trying to guide the kids that direction. Mine being older are more self directed in several areas, so it's easier to work with the little guy during those times. I always try to have a tot pack or sensory bin for him that ties into our theme with the older girls as well. There are fabulous ideas all over the internet for them, but my favorite is 1plus1plus1equals1.blogspot.com. Homeschoolcreations.blogspot.com is great as well. Just a few hints that may help a little.fortressmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496198879784356047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-9313828504730021132011-12-02T14:31:24.728-05:002011-12-02T14:31:24.728-05:00While I do not homeschool my children, I am a mom,...While I do not homeschool my children, I am a mom, and a teacher too. First of all, don't beat yourself up!!!! Forgive yourself for what you perceive as being less than perfect. You'll progress further to what YOU want and what will work for your family. Public or private schooling may be the best choice for your family down the road, who knows. These are the formative years for the kids, which staying at home could be a fantastic thing, or not. Same with schooling outside the home. Do what works for you, and don't apologize to anyone outside of your family for choices you make! Good luck in all that you do!!!asplashofsunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233116341478208473noreply@blogger.com
