I think....), but the starting-but-not-finishing-thing. <br />And it's wrong. I know it is. I think (and you mentioned it in the post) one thing that makes me finish is not being worried about 'how' or 'when', but just to plod on, and get the thing I began--- finished..<br />A xHomeschool on the Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400742529025230433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8962739086938003443.post-2025738254356091782011-11-05T03:54:34.243+00:002011-11-05T03:54:34.243+00:00Hi Caroline!

I didn't mind it nearly so much in myself until I saw it in my 6yo! He is either on top of the world because the task is "easy" for him, or he's frustrated and sobbing when things are at all challenging. He can either "do it himself" or "it's too hard!" I tell him he doesn't really leave much room for me to teach him anything!<br />So we continue talking and working and struggling through it together. I'm glad that he is here with me, so that it doesn't get swept under the rug. Character training (for mommy too) is such a big part of homeschooling. I'm thankful for that.<br /><br />Enjoyed your post. Thank you!Michelle @ Changed By The Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993110093588160143noreply@blogger.com
