Kids with slow processing speed often need a radically different approach to learning.
If you’re homeschooling a child with slow processing speed, you’ve likely asked yourself this question.
How long should I make my kid do schoolwork?
It’s 10 am on Monday morning and you hand your son his math assignment.
An hour later, he’s still on problem number 2. You take a deep breath to calm your nerves.
C’mon, Buddy. What have you been doing this whole time? You’ve got to get moving.
Thirty minutes later, you pop your head back in on him. Now he’s only halfway through the next problem!
How long is long enough?
Do you make him finish the entire assignment? The overwhelm is taking over and you’re at your wit’s end.
If this resonates, listen in. In today’s episode, I’m talking about homeschooling kids with slow processing speed.

How Much Schoolwork?
Every kid has THAT subject in their schoolwork. It takes them forever to do and seems to be an infinite source of frustration.
Thankfully, there is freedom and even benefits in calling it quits at the right time.
Mistakes To Avoid
We often make the mistake of pushing our children to solve every problem.
Doing this is a surefire way to push your kid backward rather than forward.
Hitting a certain number of problems alone does not accomplish the education we seek for our kids. Small chunks over time yield fruit.
