Jennifer and Wendy discuss their approaches to scheduling breaks and managing homeschooling routines. Jennifer takes extended breaks during the holiday season and after completing major curriculum sections. She also allows for impromptu breaks when needed to prevent meltdowns. Wendy homeschools year-round with more frequent but shorter breaks, including curriculum breaks and half-days. Both emphasize the importance of flexibility in homeschooling, adapting schedules to family needs, and taking advantage of off-peak travel times. They also discuss strategies for balancing work and homeschooling, such as teaching in the evenings or on weekends, and using incentives to motivate children to complete their work independently.
