He could not do it in the evening, but he had no trouble doing it during the day.<br />I wonder whether when you think "an hour of work" with Jack, you are picturing an hour of work with your older kids, and that does not go smoothly. Maybe an hour with Jack will be delightful, and he will just want occasional direction, Isn't that one of the principles of unschooling, following each child's inclination instead of putting our preconceived notions into how it will be? Maybe he will spend a month doing schoolwork for an hour each day, and then naturally lose interest for a while, digesting what he had learned ( and you will have that breather).breathingspacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08660982658933603531noreply@blogger.com
