[quote=Anonymous]I map out our daily subjects/lessons using an online planner, and put it up on the fridge in the morning. My daughter crosses out things as we complete them. I find breaks essential between subjects, and a timer can be very helpful for helping keep your kid on track without micromanaging/battling. The hardest thing about a routine is building one-- once you've got it, it's smooth, so I think the key for us was to build our lessons from the routine we already have: straight from breakfast we go into a brief "recess" so I can clean up and the kids can get their wiggles out, and then we launch into math. Usually we're done well before lunch, even with 15 minute breaks between subjects, but that's because my oldest is still young. The incentive to finish before lunch is excursions or free time in the afternoon.[/quote]
