How do you handle being "on" all the time. i feel constantly exahusted by dd at the end of the day. I feel like i am in teacher mode all the time. Okay, not really teacher mode, but I don't really no what else to call it.
DD 2.9 wants to know EVERYTHING, questions all day long, in depth detailed questions which she wants in depth detailed answers to. Also random vocabulary words definitions are needed....not words that are in conversations, but in the middle of her playing she will suddenly want a definition for a word that I do not know where it came from....today it was "digress, peace, holy, eclipse"
She will play, but even that is complicated and she wants me involved. Today she was a "nuerosurgeon" and her stuffed frog had a brain injury.
We read a ton, I can't even remeber how many worksheets she did today, but she kept asking for more. I tried to distract her and asked her to go play but she almost melted down because she really really wanted to do the worksheets. Then she decided to play a game she invented with her colors "color shades" She picks out all of one color crayon out of her crayon tin and then she wants us to go through and line them up by shades.
I just feel like I am constantly on, and teaching by default by asnwering her questions, but it wears me out. How do you handle it?
