I think that because there are a lot of families whose kids enjoy school work, that a lot of us moms feel like if our kids don't enjoy it somehow we have failed. My kids don't see any of it as fun and for YEARS I tried everything I could think of to make it more enjoyable so they'd be like "those" kids who smile their way through the experiments that never fail or cuddle on the couch without fighting, listening intently while I read some wonderful book.
One day I was in Walmart and saw one of "those" families. About 4 or 5 kids, a couple boys, shirts tucked in, walking quietly with their mom, while my hooligans were all over the place and wild-looking and LOUD and i realized I'm ok with that. Most days. lol
Somehow I just don't have whatever it takes to have those kids and if God wanted me to have them He would have made them that way but he didn't.
Maybe cuz "I" don't like shirts tucked in. lol Or belts unless needed and then I wonder why people just don't get clothes that fit. lol
So, maybe your kids won't enjoy doing school work. Whatever. Just het what they need, make them do it like anything else they are required to do and get on with your life.
HTH!!!
