I am sent work for them, but it is VERY difficult to keep a 6 and 7 yo

on task together to do worksheets. I have found on-line materials... RazKids... Reflex Math, ABCMouse, etc to fill the void and they love it. I have actually seen improvement in their math from the repetitive nature of the simple mathematics. We are also continuing tutoring for my oldest's reading and dyslexia.... and that is helping tremendously, too.

Other than those things, I am teaching life lessons... take apart broken stuff in the workshop... use tools, do art, go outside and play in the woods.
