Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation

While we’ve been promoted to homeschoolers, something very interesting has cropped up at home. My husband and I found that our children enjoy learning their school tasks in their own way, in their own time - usually in between a lot of play and getting bored. Low and behold, they actually complete the tasks by the deadline! Well, that’s just going a bit too far. Our children are 8 1/2 and 5 years old, they constantly need our presence whenever they are doing anything remotely scholastic.

I get anxious and my husband gets despondent when the children don’t comply with what works for us in our schedule.
