Curriculum advice
Hi there! I started homeschooling my daughter about a month and a half ago. We pulled her from public school, 5th grade. We tried Time4learning and she wasn’t into that, so now we’re on Mia Academy and enjoying that a lot better. But I’m wondering, how much time a day do you spend doing actual curriculum stuff?
For example, we have been going for daily walk and talks. We signed up to volunteer at an animal shelter and go there a couple times a week as she’s interested in being a vet when she grows up. I’ve also been teaching her to cook. She helps choose dinner recipes and helps me cook.
I find that when it’s time to actually sit down to do math or language arts or anything like that she gets discouraged. But when we try to learn things she actually enjoys she’s all in and so happy.
I just want to be sure I’m doing enough for her without overwhelming her or making her hate it. And my main concern is if she decides she doesn’t like homeschooling and wants to go back, I don’t want her to be behind and stressed about that.
I think I’m just overthinking a lot and would love some input from some other homeschool parents.
