When I was homeschooling Sophie, I did Draw.Write.Now with her almost daily. It was a fun way to do penmanship and she got to learn how to draw. Now it is Alfee's turn. Although Alfee is still in kindergarten now, he is around the same age as Sophie when she started on this. I miss teaching Sophie, honestly. It was really very fulfilling while it lasted. Nowadays, I hardly teach her. I only jump in if she can't cope with the topic, especially Maths. And usually there would be a huge meltdown that fires through her emotional brain up to her higher thinking brain before any learning can be done.
Alfee is totally different from her. He's pleasant and obliging even though he takes a bit more time and effort to grasp the concepts. Of course he also has his attention and impulse issues that make teaching him a challenge. I don't know how much longer I can hold on for the kids. My health is failing me fast and there is still so much more work to be done on them.
