I have been writing my kids curriculum the past year with the exception of math. I have enjoyed it. I have worried about it. I have spent many hours that was once free time on it and I think I have planned to much I it.
You see often I spend hours putting together pages in a uni study or to go with a boom or whatever and thought 'ok so this unit, these work pages, this science project, this history that math...that's what we will do this week. We almost never get it all done. I worry we are not accomplishing enough, That the kids waste to much time, that I have organized our time poorly. It is only now however that I have wondered if maybe I am asking for to much work in a week. I need a new plan for next week. I need to also figure out what is a reasonable amount of work. But I will. Not sure but I will think of something and then I think my kids and I will be happier people, and I re try the work box thing.
Do any if you do this?

Yes, I think many of us homeschooling parents worry ourselves over the "too much/too little" issue. And of course the issue is compounded the more children we're trying to teach!
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise. I am glad I'm not alone :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I have could written this! I always have too many things to accomplish and never enough time. I feel the same way- that I must be expecting too much or letting us get too distracted. My husband tells me all the time that I have no concept of how long things are going to take. I try to adjust the schedule and work load but I just haven't gotten it right yet.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you figure it out!
