Homeschooling Parents (or those with strong-willed children) - How do you maintain patience?
This is the first year my eldest is in Grade 1 (we opted out of Kindergarten due to COVID BS), and I finally feel like I have a bit of breathing room. However, the plan is to resume homeschooling by Grade 3 when I'm better prepared to take on the responsibility. There is too much to juggle right now but I’m actively streamlining things.
My 6-year-old tends to be quite challenging and we often engage in power struggles to accomplish daily tasks, even as simple as getting him to wear underwear or pick up after himself.
I want to homeschool again, but I'm afraid I might become resentful if I don't change our approach. Managing my own motivation for house duties is already tough enough, so I'm in need of new strategies to prevent us from constantly butting heads in the day-to-day.
Does anyone have any helpful tips or resources? #homeschool #grownostr #strongwilledkids
