[quote=Anonymous]I'm working at home & caregiving. For my child at that age: daily math and writing, probably about an hour. Kids get read to about an hour before bedtime, usually from older classics. 45 min of screen time if they get their work done. Maybe a bit more if I feel like I need to turn on a movie. About a third of the summer is various half-day church camps that give me a bit more of a break. Lots of time outside playing with siblings, reading, helping grandparents weed, jumping on trampoline. Luckily we have a well, otherwise our water bill would be insane, given the workout the hose gets. Occasional projects from a big supply I picked up in advance of the summer. Soapmaking has occupied the last three days -- this was a big hit. Some playdates/birthday parties (I really need to work on this), pool time maybe once or twice a week. It's harder to occupy an only child, but conversely, you have more time to do it with.[/quote]
