From what I observed, she enjoys teaching him. I think she has found her life's bliss. I think Joseph Campbell had the best definition for it. "If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Wherever you are -- if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time."

So, to answer your question, I do not encourage her to take time away from her true enjoyment. I'm just ecstatic that she is happy.

Even those who find their 'bliss' need a break every now and then. Homeschooling is a lifestyle but home educators don't live and breath for the next lesson with no avenue for recreation, soul replenishment, or personal enrichment.

sigh.
