It depends a LOT on the age and grade level of your daughter. Kids in preschool through about 1st or 2nd grade probably only need about 30 minutes to an hour of “sit down” work a day (if that much for preschool and 1st grade levels). 3rd through about 4th or 5th grades may need an hour to possibly 1.5 or 2 hours a day. Middle schoolers may need 2 hours or so a day, and high schoolers may need 3 or 4 hours (or possibly more depending on the classes they’re taking and whether they plan to go to college, etc.). It varies greatly!

How long do you have her work on school material and how many days a week?

Oh my lord, I am so great full to see this comment! I have 6 year old twins and a 2 year old. The shelter in place order through me into this homeschooling situation and I feel like it’s not manageable. I want to complain to the school for the amount of work assigned. Glad to see you managed.????????

Hi, Eve. I’m so glad my posts have been helpful. My biggest suggestion would be to give yourself lots of grace. You’ve been thrown into the deep end of the pool. Most of us homeschooling moms got to ease into homeschooling and even then the beginning can be HARD. You’ve got this!

I feel like I need a crash course! Your posts have been helpful, and if there is anything else. Here are my main questions: How do you prepare the lessons? How do you get refocused when you lose the kids? Thanks!
