[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming you’ve already taught her to read she will be fine. If you haven’t taught her to read yet then you should start now, using an actual phonics program.[/quote]Yes, I’ve taught him to read with a program. I’m just worried that I’m going to burn him out by expecting him to do enrichment after he comes home from a long day of school. I think that alone proves that I’m not a tiger mom. I really don’t think my parents would’ve cared about my level of exhaustion. Haha[/quote]

I wouldn’t worry about any of that. I wouldn’t overdue it but 30-60 minutes of enrichment following K is not a lot. Best to make it routine early on anyways. If he wants a day off or just doesn’t seem into it then skip a day or two or end early. The amount of “work” they do in K is minimal. You really need to be the main teacher from about K-3 and make sure he can read, spell, write, tell time, and do basic math fluently. Around 4th he should start getting homework, if not then focus on vocabulary and writing for a few years until middle school. I would treat school like social time until middle school as there’s not much consistency or teaching in elementary. [/quote]
