It took a long while, and a lot of struggles, for me to start to realize that we could all be happier if we went about schooling a different way, lol.<br /><br />We started to look at unschooling. I could ride my boys every day to get their school work done, but they didn't like that, and neither did I. We had a period of time where things got kinda hectic and I ended up not having the time to ride them. Sure the first couple of days were all play. But I was completely taken by surprise when by the 3rd day, the boys had logged on to their curriculum program and gotten started all by themselves!<br /><br />That was most definitely a game changer for us. Yep, we still have those "ebb" days. But they don't worry me like they used to. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />Katie<br />Transitioning two boys, ages 11 and 6, from “school-at-home” homeschooling to <a href="http://www.time4learning.com/homeschool/unschooling.shtml" rel="nofollow">unschooling</a>... and enjoying the results (and the sanity it has seemed to restore) so far!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720459597404449811noreply@blogger.com
