Realizing this wasn\u2019t going to work, Alicia moved the start of the day to 9 a.m., which dramatically changed the course of the day. With an extra half hour of sleep, her children had more energy and motivation, finishing school in just over half the time it took before.<\/p>\n<p>Alicia\u2019s point in telling this little anecdote is to inspire homeschool parents to create a schedule that best suits their family. Getting started at 9 a.m. might be too late for you, or too early. Find what works with your family and stick to it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Don\u2019t force something that isn\u2019t working<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Of course, finding what works with your family is easier said than done. It involves a fair share of trial and error. Alicia encourages parents to be flexible to change a schedule that isn\u2019t working. If you are starting the morning with history and English but your child keeps falling asleep during <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversationsbooks.com\/pages\/search-results-page?q=story+of+the+world+audiobook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>The<\/em> <em>Story of the World<\/em> audiobooks<\/a>, try shifting these subjects to the afternoon and beginning the day with math and science.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t force the previous routine if it\u2019s not working. Try out new schedules to find what fits best for you and your family.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I apply this to my life?<\/h3>\n<p>Now, there\u2019s no such thing as the perfect schedule, certainly not one that is universal to all families and all situations. Each family is unique, and each day different than the last. Also, what works for one child might not for another. So don\u2019t be discouraged if your schedule seems to be failing. Rather, see if you can pinpoint what might be the issue (such as, in Alicia\u2019s case, the time the school day began) and change it. It may take some time to find what works best, but don\u2019t give up! We know you\u2019ll find the schedule that is just right for your family.<\/p>\n<p>Find more answers to your questions in our video series <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLu7awCNH6H5LiWN_0Zj_oZA0ib4aLYjHx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ask a Homeschool Parent<\/a>\u00a0or at our <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wake at 7 a.m. Shower, dress, eat, and be ready for another day of learning at 8 a.m., commencing four hours of math and science.
