Lani @ 7 months
When Lani was born in September, it put a little kink in anything resembling structured school. In fact, if I remember correctly, it shot the whole "school" concept to... *ahem*... pieces.
So I had to depend on some little help from the computer to drive home concepts for Charis. and to help me maintain a position of sanity during my next-to-no-sleep lifestyle.
Thankfully, as an added bonus, my girls think it's Way Cool to be allowed to use the computer. They lived for time they got to spend on the computer, regardless of the fact that it was school stuff they were doing.
My only advice? Don't let the kids get on the computer and do frivilous stuff. Because then the whole Educational Computer Time loses its appeal.
Honestly, I'd go over and over a math concept with Charis only to have her give me that glazed-over "Are we done?" look. But 10-15 minutes on certain math games, and she'd have the concept nailed!!
