Find an Area in Your Home
Choose a spot in your house that will be used for homeschooling your child. If you do this your child will know when he is sitting at this spot that it is time for working on his preschool studies. Make sure there is no television in sight and nothing else that might take his mind off of his studies.
Time Allotted for Studying
I always suggest to have your child sit for 15 minute increments twice a day. If she wants to sit for longer periods of time... that's fine. But, please do not force your child to sit and learn if she doesn't want to. Forcing her will not only give her the idea that learning is not fun, but if she is not in the mood to sit and work on homeschooling then she will not absorb anything taught to her at this time. When your child appears to be in the mood to learn try and have her sit down and work. You will find after the first couple of times working on Preschool Studies with her she will begin to ask to sit down and work on her studies.

every day what day it is [...]

One of Children’s favorite Holidays is Halloween. And, what’s not to like?
