May I ask...

I have a toddler (2yrs), and I'm someone who is very concerned with the quality of education accessible to me/my kid and who's toyed with the idea of homeschooling. My biggest concern is the amount of time it requires. I think that effective homeschooling on limited time relies on the child spending large periods of time self-studying. At this stage due to his young age I don't yet know if he has the kind of personality/interest.

Would someone here share numbers? How many hours do you work a day, how many hours do you spend homeschooling your kid, and how many hours does your kid spend by themselves studying?

Thank you




From my friends, who homeschool their two children, it's about 2-3 hours per day. Sometimes more if they are curious, sometimes zero, because there are others more important things to do.

They are 8y and 10y.
