Do you know what it was called? I would love to print it out, and we read it aloud as well. Thank you in advance!

I’ve been trying to figure this out by reading things here and there, but can’t wrap my head around how to do the actual discussion. Maybe I’m making it too hard? Any links, or especially that podcast, would be awesome. πŸ™‚

My son is the same way. I have noticed that simplifying his assignments helps. If he knows how to do something correctly, I don’t keep making him do it. A math teacher told me, “If he can do 10 problems in a row with no mistakes, he knows it.” This doesn’t fix the problem, but it does help greatly!

I meant to say almost 9, 7, 6, and twin 3 year olds.

I am currently homeschooling ages 8 almost 7, 6, and twin 3yr. olds. Just reading that you do school with the twins wreaking havoc all around is encouraging to me. I worry at times that the general ruckus and distractions will be detrimental to learning, but so far they seem to be doing alright. My oldest struggles with staying on task so I have worked on simplifying our homeschooling to eliminate unnecessary busywork.

So refreshing to hear your schedule. I have a 8 year old, 4 year old, and a 2 year old. After I had my two year old I was so stressed with homeschooling my oldest , nursing, and toliet training…but it is getting better and I am currently reading your “teaching from rest “…and LOVE ..it…I have been realizing how I have set too many unrealistic demands on myself…and my oldest. ..And freeing up margin and cutting things out…have been so much better for us!….Its freeing to know that we don’t have to do every “good” idea that comes along. I love the honest and simple schedule you have…Its so refreshing when we let others know how life really goes on..and not try to hide that we are not perfect…and we are content with Gods grace. Your book is a God send. Thankyou…and your kiddos are darling????

But I have to ask, what time do your kids go to bed? And does your friend that teaches the amazing history/humanities class use a specific curriculum? Since she can’t come to my house I wonder if I can do something similarly wonderful.

We’ve been using the spiral notebook method since school started this year and it’s really helped my kids stay on target and get their work done. (all boys, ages 15, 15, 12, and 9)

Every new school year brings about a whole new ball game. After home-schooling for 20 years, you would think you have it all figured out and it would be easy. I now home-school a 7 year old, a 16 year old, who struggles and a 19 year old with down syndrome-asd who still requires one on one most of the day. It has taken me months to “get into the groove” of what works. I have found some good things on your reading aloud podcasts that have encouraged me to keep going, keep reading and keep learning. Thank you.
