I am a WAHM and at the same time a Homeschooling mom to my 4-year old. Having to work and teach at home entails a lot of discipline on my part because I have to juggle my time between working, teaching and doing house chores as well.

It’s a conscious effort and constant struggle because we are not bonded by a schedule for my day to day activities because I am a WAHM and she’s HOMESCHOOLED but I still have to ensure that my daughter will get the value of time management. This is very important because in two years she’ll be in a regular school already where she’ll be obliged to follow and stick with schedule.

So what I do is have a routine. We do things at our own phase but we have to stick with the time lay-out I made for our everyday activities. Say for example her nap time, she knows that when the clock strikes 12noon, she has to take a nap and leave whatever she’s doing. It’s hard at first knowing how strong-willed kids today but I have to set rules otherwise she’ll grow up not respecting time.

Our schedule has changed since the last time I posted it. I am now working full time (at home) so I am spending less time teaching her, good thing Dada is often at home because things are not well in their office, Yona has a new teacher now! Dada has taught her how to add and subtract, more things about science, music, etcetera. And I know that he is a better teacher than me.

My day usually ends at 10PM. I normally leave undone things when it’s really time for bed. I respect bed time and I see to it that my daughter knows that. She too sleeps at 10pm.
