Planning your homeschool day with under tensby Stephanie, Homeschool Family Life This article was first published on Homeschool Family Life, August 6, 2014 When you are planning your homeschool day the age of your child or children will dictate how your day is planned. One obvious example is that the younger the child the shorter the formal seat-work part of the day. With children up to the age of about ten, you will make many of the decisions on how your child will spend his day. You will work out his timetable, based on his interests and needs, and you will put it into action. If you don't drive it, it won't happen. It really is up to you. Make a timetable for a month, rather than for a whole year. This way, you will soon know what part of the week isn't working so well and you'll be able to make adjustments.
You will probably be able to fit in a lot less than you hoped for, but it's better to have a realistic timetable or schedule that you can accomplish than a wonderful goal that's too hard to achieve. Here's another tip - if you have a lot of subjects that you like to cover but can't fit into the timetable, consider giving these subjects a month or a half-year each. So one season might be lots of science experiments and the next season might be lots of art and craft.

Welcome to the World of Home Education We began educating our children in 1985, when our eldest was five. In truth, we had helped them learn what they need to learn since they were born. I am a passionate advocate of allowing children to learn unhindered by unnecessary stress and competition, meeting developmental needs in ways that suit their individual learning styles and preferences. Ours was a homeschooling, unschooling and natural learning family! There are hundreds of articles on this site to help you build confidence as a home educating family. We hope that your home educating adventure is as satisfying as ours was! Beverley Paine
