Ha! We're not homeschooling, but I really need to work on insisting that DD9 do more for herself--although she does dress herself. But we did have a boring, authoritarian classroom last year, and it was just awful--in no way was it worth any of the angst it caused DD and all of us too. I'm sure you know that, of course--take heart! I think when DD was about 6 was the most difficult she's been (combined with the emotional overflow from the horrid classroom). We've kept working and kept working and reminding and giving consequences and rewards and it really has gotten better, if s-l-o-w-l-y. I hope you take some time off every now and then to reward yourself for all your hard work.
Take care,
Dbat
