[quote=Anonymous]I am the author of the “prison like unfun schedule” By no means do I implement it in a way that if kid is still enjoying a craft project or book they have to stop because the timer rang. Similarly, if they did something and it ended sooner than anticipated, like we went on a family bike ride and came home, had water and down time, they could not start on the next thing because it was not time. But, I have found over time that if it simply do something and then move on when done, that is too relaxed and projects take three min and then we rush through math but someone we have time for videos. It also is not so important to adhere to the schedule that if something came up, like a cool day trip, it is pouring and we are tired so we want to curl up on the couch and watch a movie fest, or friends invite us for a socially distanced hang out, we can do that. But, having multiple hours of outside time and limits to screens / videos makes our lives feel better.[/quote]
