Either I'm doing something very wrong, or there's something about the parent/child relationship that is preventing the teaching.
I would have said the same a year ago. I have a VERY strong-willed child who hates to be told what's what. The difference, I think, is that she's not in school all day being Taught. In those circumstances, home is supposed to be their refuge.
Now she's spends about an hour a day being taught by me, and the rest of her time is fairly free of adult judgement. I don't tell her she's doing her hot-glue-gun projects wrong or making bows and arrows wrong or writing her play script wrong. She has so much more breathing room now.
We still duke it out sometimes during schoolwork, but the generalized outrage at me teaching her has faded.
