[quote=Anonymous]There's a homeschool forum now!  I thought I looked for one on the redesign, maybe I missed it!

This is more just a vent for homeschool families with challenging kids who stop napping.  I discovered around a year ago that the SAHM answer is preschool. Our naps have been fizzling out for around a year and we're just in some weird in-between for a little longer before the real non-nap routine starts.  On other forums, the homeschool answer was that it was a SAHM question and not a homeschool question.  Some people try to suggest quiet time, but I have a strong-willed, talkative child who does not listen to anything I say.

I am still struggling with how to come to grips with my commitment to homeschool when not having any break during the day for myself.  The day starts moving, the day ends moving.  We do lots of fun, active things in an out of the house.  I even have a gym with daycare.  But, if we're not moving, we're screaming, and if we're not screaming, we're asking for something.  This isn't going to change, because there is no preschool or school to go to.  This isn't what I imagined when I had a child.  We do some structured and a lot of unstructured learning.  She is only 4 and way ahead of what is normal, so we sometimes take long breaks in any kind of structured learning because of this non-napping issue.

How have you dealt with the challenge of a demanding child while trying to homeschool?[/quote]
