How do you homeschool with a baby or toddler in the house?
Asked by families. Answered by Peabody editors from the sources below.
Plan the older children's focused work for the baby's or toddler's nap, and loop the rest: keep a list of subjects and do the next one whenever you get a window, instead of tying subjects to days. Quiet bins help, but keep anything small enough to choke on away from children under 3; the CPSC bans small parts in toys made for that age.
