We have a similar set up during the summer. Though it often gets dropped right after a big trip for a while or while grandparents are visiting. I had to remind my boys to stop working on their stop motion videos to do their pet chores the other day.
Thank you so much for sharing your checklists for your children. I am trying to start some new chore habits and you have given me some ideas. I also liked the idea of asking my children what projects or skills they would like to learn. I think the results are going to be very fruitful. My 7 year old is off practicing juggling as I write this!
This is so helpful! We’re switching to our “summer session” (Mostly just math and bible) but the days have been too full of whining and fighting since our academic year’s weekly activities wrapped up. I’m going to take advantage of the chance to reflect /with/ them and set up some new rhythms for everyone’s sakes. Your list of questions looks like a great starting point!

We had the same problem this last week with a camp. We have to reset the expectations this coming week to get back in the groove

I'm so glad to hear this!

I'm so glad! Asking those questions really helped us shape our plan!
