HOMESCHOOLING: Quick Tips from an Educator and Behaviorist
Marcia Questel, MS Ed, BCBA

We are all about to have a CRASH course in homeschooling. The homeschool crowd is proud that they have been doing this all along. The rest of us? This is a whirlwind! It can be stressful at times, given that kids think they have days off from school. But it can also be really rewarding at times, watching our children succeed in ways we normally don’t get to witness. And we get to feel really successful that we taught them!
Here are some quick tips to make sure that you make the most of these days out of school:
- Routine, routine, routine: You’ve probably all heard it by now. Establishing a routine during times of emergencies is extremely important and good for children. They might enjoy the extra downtime, but they need structure. Go ahead and give them plenty of breaks and time to have fun but build it into an overarching structure. Some parents and caregivers find it helpful to make a daily schedule (9-9:30 science, 9:30-10 math, etc.). There are a lot of examples of these online and how to implement them. But, don’t sacrifice great learning moments in order to stick to a rigid structure. That’s where tip #2 comes in.
