Day three of homeschooling three kids at once, I need help.
Isaac and Hope are not at all at the same level. If I show alphabet cards Isaac can identify 90% of the letters and Hope can identify none, as of now.
Mothers of multiples, help me! Do I seperate them and work with them independently? I don't want Hope getting down on herself when Isaac shows her up.I could see watching Hope today that she was not too thrilled that Isaac knew them all. I don't want to be the cause of her giving up or just letting him answer for her.
Hope is very good at holding her pencil and copying letters. She has Isaac beat in that area. How do I encourage their strengths and help with the weak areas without making the other one feel sad/inadequate.

They are supposedly three months apart in age, we have always questioned that. Isaac is 11 inches taller than Hope and has always seemed older. They both have little tiny birthmothers so it is hard to know if maybe Isaac is a giant because of his birth-dad. If he is older, we would guess it is by about six months -- not a huge gap.
