Toddler's Online Curriculum
Is anyone aware of a good online program/website/etc to help 3 years old with counting, writing, etc? My 7 year old has plenty of work through his school to keep him busy, but I am really struggling to get the 3 year old up to speed. In particular we're having a lot of trouble counting from 10 to 20 and just in general writing a letter or number or shape....

I don't know about this specifically, unfortunately. Check out PBS Kids website.
I've been frustrated with the offerings from our schools--though it may get better when we get access to a couple of the systems.
Two things I'm using for an older kid are Raz-Kids for reading and a Mo Willems Doodle class on YouTube. I also ordered a grade level curriculum book off Amazon he's working through.
I'm looking for some fun-ish math stuff on the computer if anyone has suggestions.

Two hands are better than one. Valuable lesson for Little AW and all.

My daughter is taking online HS now - so a different scenario. She has some college credit level courses (English, Spanish. Chemistry) that are no joke - and hard to grasp without a teacher available in normal format. Spanish is ok, she is fine there. English, the course load is heavier without class time. Chemistry - if she can't grasp something there, well it is tough, as you can imagine.
I read an article somewhere about all the things parents got wrong the first week of home school. I believe it included trying too hard to make it like actual school. Regimented. And then the other extreme - let them fend for themselves.
Anyways -as far as framework , I'm sensing helping your kid home school - you have to blend some structure, but take advantage of what you know about your kid and how they learn, and utilize it. Let them sleep in if they are a teen, because that is probably better for their learning anyway.
Or I sense my daughter is along the lines of a self-learner - the learning curve is flat for a while but once she gets it - it goes straight up. I'm reminding her of this with her Chemistry class - to keep at it, because figuring something out on your own will be ingrained way more than something filtering in, in a class. But getting that upward arc started in chemistry will be the challenge.
AW, you wanted some toddler curriculum - which I don't have - except that Betty White storyline stuff - it's [expletive] gold. But I do have a lot of theoretical BS for ya. good luck man. Have fun.

How are your screentime rules doing? Ours caught Coronavirus and died real fast. One of the first casualties of this pandemic.

Re: Toddler's Online Curriculum
We go for a couple walks a day and make the kids run/walk for ~1 mile. Make them do their work. The rest of the time they're free to watch phones/ipads/movies/etc. I only have so much time/energy. And, yeah, that tends to keep them entertained which is helpful.
Appreciate all the tips guys.
