My youngest turns 2 in September; would I be pushing it to start LHTH with her? My older two are doing well in a hybrid charter school, but I have very little involvement in their schooling, which makes me a little sad but seems to be working ok for them. Any thoughts? LHTH when baby turns 2, or wait until she is older?Start LHTH?

Start LHTH?
At this point it's more for me than my little one. I miss HOD and the structure it gave MY day My youngest turns 2 in September; would I be pushing it to start LHTH with her?

Re: Start LHTH?
I don't see any reason why you can't start if you really wanted to. Using the youngest options, although I would only do 3 days a week. That's usually all a 2 yo will be ready for, and it will keep it short & sweet for her.
Have fun!
Have fun!

Re: Start LHTH?
I don't know, I am a bit torn. I guess if you took it slow and maybe even determined to go through it twice, then it would be fine. I have a little boy who just turned 2 and I can't imagine doing it with him right now. He dances to the Rhyme in Motion but that is about all he can follow. Now of course, I am doing it with the almost-5-year-old options and reading the story straight from the Bible and stuff, I can see how it would be fun for a girl who likes to sit and read and maybe already counting or something. Scissors, I can't imagine that.
It can't hurt, but I don't think she will absorb much of it right now. Just my thoughts.

Good to see you, Lourdes! 
I'd say give it a whirl and see how it goes! If it's a joy and smooth-going, keep on. If not, set it aside and hold off. I am sure you are missing that homeschool mama teaching time - and you are so good at it. You could always start half-speed with the younger resources! Miss ya!
In Christ,
Julie
