I never considered that my decision to homeschool my 9-year-old son would teach me some new lessons, too.
When we started, I used some of the same conventional strategies I’d seen from other homeschool moms I knew.
I mapped out precise schedules, intentional time blocks, and outside breaks followed by nagging reminders every 10 to 20 minutes to read, tidy up, brush his teeth — anything I wanted him to complete.
