November Update
So last week L7 told me at one point that he hates homeschool and he doesn’t want to do it. When I asked him if he’d rather go back to school after the year is up, he wouldn’t answer me. I realized in the moment he was frustrated, and may have said what he did out of frustration, but it’s hard to get him to talk about his feelings on things sometimes so I’m not sure where he stands at this point about homeschooling. I did manage to bring up how maybe he was frustrated with how long and drawn out our homeschool days seemed to be going. I suggested we really focus on getting what needs to be done, done straight away so that by lunch he can eat, play and do whatever else he’d like for the day. This translated into us doing some math, reading and history on Friday. Then I saw that L7 was getting antsy and frustrated that he wasn’t done with schooling for the day, so I backed off and let him have more free play time. The more I learn about homeschooling, the more I am trying to let go of
