Lora Beth - I was just reading your signature tag and thinking that you have a lot of little ones right now that can make for a busy day! You are on the precipice of being able to receive some real help from your oldest 2 dc though. Jayden and Grace are of the age they can start to be your "right hand" helpers. Maybe you are already utilizing this to its fullest capacity - I did not. I remember I was still doing most of the household chores, getting out everything for the dc, picking up everything, trying to be the only one in charge of our youngest, etc. I remember being especially exhausted one day when I took my baby to yet another physical therapy appointment with my other 2 dc in tow, and with my dh being gone for the week.

I felt like bawling.

I remember getting home and seeing all that had to be done and then thinking, "maybe my 7 yo could do that"!

You know what, he could! And he could do a lot more than "that" too. I remember getting out a piece of paper and writing down everything I was doing throughout the day that perhaps one of the dc could be trained to do, and this was the beginning of our chore charts, which for me have been a lifesaver. I'm just typing this to speak to the underlying tension I am reading in your words here - there is real help on the way, and it's in the form of Jayden and Grace!

However you can utilize them I surely would, and in the process, they will learn some wonderful life skills too!
Back to the math though, I wondered if you could just get the Earlybird K math and do that right out of LHFHG with her? Sure, it might be beneath her somewhat, but it would be super easy to do math each day, and it would actually be better for her than just 1 lesson here or there in 1A, plus you'd get to start Beyond from day 1 with the plans for math just as they are written. I'd just get a 1A book and start over with Beyond then.

Not every single subject has to be at our dc's optimal learning level. Sometimes, the best choice is the one that gets done.

Likewise, why not just do "A Reason for Handwriting K". Sure it will be easy. Oh well, it will be good daily review, and best of all, it will be almost completely independent for your dd, while still giving her some daily handwriting. These are just a few ideas I had, but I wish I could give you a hug! This too shall pass, but until then, doing what's in her guide though it'll be a tad easy, I think, is a pretty good solution!
In Christ,
Julie
