This year I'm determined to do something about it so we're going to try playing a lot more learning games together, but varying the difficulty per child as needed. I really appreciate your insights as I can see my tendency to go into the "hand them something to keep them busy" mindset so easily... yikes!Quinnhttp://homeschoolchic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29520568901907171.post-47020856372633102122012-02-24T23:49:42.004-06:002012-02-24T23:49:42.004-06:00I'm new to homeschooling and this is exactly w...I'm new to homeschooling and this is exactly what I've been personally struggling with. Our biggest problem is also that big brother has a lot of independent work but if I spend any attention on a sibling during that time his work is filled with incorrect answers. I think this is a perfect answer! Part of why we choose to homeschool was to gain a closeness and work better together. Thank you for such an honest post too. I think we all have many of the same thoughts and stuggles!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29520568901907171.post-23030481211436006112012-02-01T22:45:32.609-06:002012-02-01T22:45:32.609-06:00I love the color wheel.

It is right where I am at in life right now as well.<br /><br />My children are in the public school, so it's just me and my 3yr. old at home during the day. I can get so committed to my kids school and church activities though that I forget (or choose to ignore) that my first job is being wife and mom. My little guy is so content and willing to "go with the flow" that lately I've felt like he gets overlooked too much. And I don't think I'm training him the way God would want me to. My problem has been that I'm not sure how to change that and what it should look like. Life looks much different for me these days compared to how it was when my other kids were 3. I don't feel as energized and creative. <br /><br />I appreciated your heart and ideas in your blog. So, if you don't mind I think tomorrow I will make a color wheel with my little guy and enjoy the sunshine with him.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Love in Christ ~ ErinErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994950426692598662noreply@blogger.com
