Hi Jillian! I completely understand how this is a “big deal” that affects you and yours deeply. It sounds like you are well on your way to figuring out what works and doesn’t work for you, but I think that Colleen’s personal site would have a treasure trove of resources specifically to meet you where you are: https://raisinglifelonglearners.com

And maybe taking a peek at some of Colleen’s past homeschool days in the life would be an encouragement? https://simplehomeschool.net/colleen2022/

I hope it’s a help and also reminds you that you aren’t alone in the struggle! Thanks for visiting!

During the day aI homeschool, at night I run my family’s ESL school ministry. Sometimes (esp. Sept – Dec and again in May) these tend to overlap. Starting in the fall I have an hour and 15 minute commute to work 1-2 days a week.
My 6.5 year old is gifted with ADHD, and hypersensitivity. I got a true miracle and don’t have ADHD anymore, but the lifelong (bad) time management habits are proving hard to kick. I admit I’m struggling with this and have for several years in homeschool. The typical stay at home mom with neurotypical kids school day does not work for us. In fact, we have a homeschool classroom at my family’s school – we only “home” schooled at home during the pandemic because it doesn’t work well for us. In the fall we’ll have to find a way to make it work several days a week at home, because the commute will be too long.
I know this is a lot – I guess I was hoping you had an article or a link. I certainly don’t expect a personal answer to my ramble, but if you made it to the end it sure makes me feel like I’ve FINALLY talked to someone, ANYONE, who understands and doesn’t think “what’s the big deal? Buy a box curriculum, or sign up for online school and life’s a breeze.” Thanks for anything you can help with.
