Comments on: Back to (Home) School 2010: Our Curriculum http://www.classichousewife.com/2010/07/28/back-to-home-school-2010-our-curriculum/ Her husband has full confidence in her, and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.

At four, it's not important to have a schedule or syllabus.. they learn from everything they do. Sit down and do things with her (read books, color pictures, do puzzles) for as long as her attention span holds out. Point out colors, shapes, letters.. count objects on the page.. have her cut, color, glue and tape.. she'll absorb so much through that kind of educational play. I did 30 minutes a day (intentionally) with my 4 year old.. but there were other things throughout the day as well, other opportunities to read and play and learn. She's only four. Let go of the mom guilt. =) You are not behind!! At four, it’s not important to have a schedule or syllabus.. they learn from everything they do.

How do I take care of everyone and do this too without having the dreaded "mom guilt?" Thanks!
