Our kids are still under 5 years old so right now it’s minimal. My wife does do some structured learning with them like coloring, matching, hand coordination like holding a pencil etc. but that’s about an hour at a time.

My contribution right now is that anytime I am working on something around the house, I include my 2 oldest. They get to hand me tools and see how they’re used and even use them too. I believe this is a massively valuable way for them to learn at this age.

As they get older I intend to continue my “hands on” teaching in different subjects while my wife handles the book knowledge in the mornings. She also teaches them cooking/baking. Since there is no mandated structure to homeschooling, my wife can teach on a schedule that makes sense for her, and I can takeover in the evenings after work. The hope is eventually I will be able to stop working as well and I can focus my time on teaching them too.
