I guess I don't understand. Maybe my 5yo is different than most, but he won't play for more than 5 min by himself, and if I have him sit and listen, he is defiantly not quiet. Based on the revised schedule we are doing school from 9:30-11 and 11:30 to 1. (most of that is just my 6th grader, the K is just tagging along) that does not seem outside the expected amount of time. I schedule things with the K that look like school, because if he does not have something to do he is loud, distracting or unhappy. He really only has about 45min of school work in the mix.
How do people deal with kids who won't let you do school with other kids?
