Combining children is one way to save time and energy in your homeschool. If you can have two or more of your children engaged in the same learning activity, that is one less lesson plan and time slot that you allocate towards your kids’ education.
I found tips from other homeschoolers on how and when to effectively combine kids. They work for a variety of homeschool methods. Let’s take a look at them.
