My son is 13 and my daughter 5. Mostly the little one is a handful. My son is pretty good as long as you can keep him focused on his school work and off his tablet. My son works very independently. He has been homeschooled his entire life so he is used to reviewing his lesson plan (it's all online) for the day and getting after it. He has some science experiments and different types of research or writing assignments where he might ask us for help but most of his work is independent. As for my daughter she uses abc mouse as her main learning platform but we don't want her on screens all day so we augment maybe an hour or two of abc mouse with math and phonics books, playing with shapes, colouring, building with blocks types of activities that we are more hands on with her.

Both are doing extremely well. My son is a grade ahead in all subjects and two grades ahead in math and my daughter is working on grade one level work even though she should be in kindergarten.

We started homeshooling my son because we were travelling a lot back and forth from Canada and the US when he was very young and he got so far ahead working that way that without paying a fortune for a private school we could not find a school to accommodate how far he was ahead so since my wife was not working she just continued homeschooling him. The past couple years since I sold my business, I stared to help out with their home schooling too so my wife could get a p/t job.

I can't take much credit with how well the kids have done with their homeschooling. My wife has done most of the work.
