  1. Lori, that is extremely helpful and gives us a good direction on how to approach the problem. Thank you for your super detailed response!
  2. Hello WTM Community, I'm new to this community and also to homeschooling. As our school district is not offering remote learning and our youngest has respiratory issues that may collide with COVID, we are choosing to stay quarantined until our three kids can get safely vaccinated. Here's the issue that I'm guessing many of you have solved and I have yet to figure it out: I have a 10 year old going into the 5th grade, an 8 year old going into the 3rd grade and a 4.5 year old who has been in two years of Montessori programs. The dynamic is as follows, I work full-time at home in my home office with a closed door doing mainly conference calls throughout the day (aka my schedule is not my own). My wife has stopped working during COVID to help homeschool the kids but neither of us can figure out how we keep a 4.5 year old distracted while we teach an 8 and a 10 year old new, challenging materials and then still come back around and teach the 4.5 year old things like reading and basic counting skills? I know we aren't the first person to overcome this and I'm interested in what techniques everyone here uses so every kid gets a fair share of parenting and education without gravely neglecting one or two of the other kids at the same time. Please share your experiences, I'm dying to know how everyone sorts this situation.
