How to Deal with a Dawdling Homeschooler

The following post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure statement.

Hey homeschoolers!

I frequently hear from homeschooling parents about  a dawdling student who takes all of their time because he or she won't finish schoolwork. I'm going to give you my response to this problem in just a minute.

Listen to the podcast

Grammar Galaxy is Perfect for Dawdlers

But first I would love to have you try Grammar Galaxy. The lessons are short and so much fun that you are unlikely to have a dawdler. In the  early levels, you may have to sit and do the work with your child for 10 to 15 minutes, three days a week, but that is certainly not too much to ask to teach language arts in a motivating way.
