................... Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 My 11 year old: all items every day except when noted. Make bed Shower Teeth Math Grammar Writing (2x per week) Online geography game AWANA IT- Lua Missions (programming) Greek IT book about Internet Spelling Exercises Clean Room Push ups Science and history with sister 2x per week Help with dishes every evening Deep clean bathroom once per week (during together cleaning time.) Serves on sound board at church Enjoys swim lessons 2x per week And then also the obvious like picking up after himself and putting his laundry away and such. Just seems like a lot, but I don't know what I could cut anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 You don't say how long each thing takes, but on the surface it looks perfectly fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Sorry....He has about 45 minutes of free time before his alarm goes off, 2 hours of free time in the afternoon followed by another 2 hours of free time after dinner (though we usually enjoy family time then.) plus 2 15-minute breaks during school and a 30 minute lunch break.

happyhomemaker Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Is he doing writing in other subjects? Twice a week seems like not quite enough at that age to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2_girls_mommy Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 He has more free time than my 5th grader has during full on school time, so it doesn't look like too much to me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
