Sorry to hear that it has been such an exhausting week! Hopefully you will get some great ideas from other homeschoolers. We are not homeschooling but my DS5 is very (very) similar. I wonder if having him choose from the selection of "musts" for the week would help him feel he had more control. DS would probably end up doing the week's worth of maths in one day, other subjects other days. DS gets frustrated when his inventions don't work the way he imagined. At times he has been amenable to joint research on other ways to make the same thing. And sometimes not... All the best
