Hi, Alexandr-
You’re right about children losing concentration when you go and do something else. That happened to us as well. I learned not to answer the phone (you can read about my phone rules here), do housework, or anything else. That changed as the boys grew older, but it was essential in the younger years. I loved doing school in comfy spots, and sometimes it’s the very best option of all. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I bet you spend more time with her now . . . It takes time, but you do find your rhythm. In time, your son will become more independent. I remember when I had to sit next to my daughter and, if I got up to wash dishes, she lost her concentration. Now, she gets out her math before my first cup of coffee and works on it in her rocker.

Each level is designed to be covered in a year. There are nine four-week units per year, but you may take longer if you like. I designed it to be flexible enough that you could even leave out a unit, or mix and match units from different years, based on your student’s interests. Enjoy!
