Has anyone ever done FIAR and B4FIAR together...

[4Kiddos]

at the same time? I have one B4FIAR age and one FIAR age and was wondering what would be best. Do you think that they both could be done at the same time? (By time, I mean doing one with one child and the other with the other child) Suggestions?

I did it this year and it was perfectly fine. I did fiar with my oldest and then later in the day I did Before FIAR with the next two, but the oldest would join in also. It worked out well. I will say, I used Peak with Books in conjunction with Before FIAR, because it added a little more to each book, otherwise I don't think I could have made a five day row of it.

We did both at the same time. My 2 yr. old (at the time) did B4FIAR while I did FIAR with my then 4 yr. old and 5 yr.old. It went well. Many times I would do FIAR with the older two while the youngest was napping. When I would do B4, the other two pitched in as well not wanting to be left out. I have wonderful FIAR memories. Enjoy your time!

We did it for awhile and it was fine. As a pp said, my older dd always wanted to join in her younger brother's lessons. It worked out well.

Personally, I've never doubled up on FIAR. It's been easier for me to combine kids together instead. I did Before FIAR this year with my 5yo, 3yo, and 2yo. We did a lot of games and projects and I tried to make sure that the boys had something that would be especially beneficial or enjoyable for each of them personally. We all loved it.
