I haven't read this thread all the way through yet so forgive me if this is answered later: Do all four of yours share a computer? I'm wondering what to do between my two. We have multiple computers but I'm not sure if that would work out better or not at their young ages....6 and 5. Thanks for posting all these ideas...they are so helpful!

Hi Jennifer, A few things we do:

While one child is working on the computer, we have the others:

1- Doing their chores. (kitchen, take garbage out, sweet floor, put away folded laundry, clean out cat box, Make bed, vacuum their room, pick up toys, dust)

They do ONE or TWO chores at a time and then back to school. Also, my oldest does other school things besides T4L'ing so he has school work.

2- My oldest takes his shower while the my youngest does his lessons. (I actually wake my oldest two up an hour later than the little ones and this helps as well.)

3- Handwriting/copywork.

4- Read a loud picture books for the young ones.

5- Work on resource pages

6- Take the dog for a walk

7- Get outside in the sunshine while the computers being used.
