Our 6 year old has about 1.5 hours of "school time" per day. She does some bits of a boxed curriculum, as well as story time, craft projects, and games. We'll typically work for about an hour after breakfast, and a half hour after lunch. Even if we've had a lot of interruptions, I make sure that we end by 2:00 for both our sakes. That said, my day is still crazy, as her younger siblings are usually up to something noisy, messy, or dangerous.
But the actual homeschooling part is fun and low-pressure.
Do you think your daughter is getting enough sleep? I've noticed a big change for the worse when my DD stays up late, or doesn't sleep well due to allergies or nightmares. Just a thought.
