Every year I need this reminder. That fun learning is more palatable and produces better results more easily! I would love to hear what approach you take or what product you use that makes your homeschool learning easier.
Last year handwriting with my middle kid was a fight until it took so much time to complete one word that our whole school day went away. I tried all the usual writing programmes and tried just writing in sand, and tried just copywork. She just fight and I just got anxious so I said okay you are 7 years old here are all the books I bought you to learn to write but you don't want just put it in your wardrobe so you can learn later I gave up. Few days later we wrote shopping list but she could not participate so she decides she would type it when she will be a grown up About a month later it was time to write cards for grandparents She could not and both her siblings did. She sent email for grandparents but greatgrandmum don't even read sms. I heard her ask her sister if her hand hurts from writing Elderst daughter said when se started it was uncomfortable but now it's fine. I left hand muscles balls laying around the house. Few disappeared and I did get a card for my birthday with handwritten notes. :)
