Family Work and Adult Skills

“How in the world do I homeschool and keep the house clean at the same time? Since we are home most of the time, we excel at making messes. I am quite concerned about teaching my children the responsibility and the joy of work. In addition, I want to teach them the work skills they will need for adulthood. This whole subject feels pretty overwhelming.”Back in the days of Laura Ingalls Wilder, parents seemed to know intuitively how to structure family work in a way that taught children the adult skills they needed to know.
