Math....the bane of my Home School Existence....

Today started our next week of home school. My son is still doing okay, it's really hard trying to teach a preschooler especially one like my Thing 2. He likes doing lots of paper and work but his retention of the subjects are there yet. Perhaps this is because he is only 4 but I'm not sure.

My daughter is doing a good job with all of her subjects expect for Math. She is in third grade but I decided to start her back with second grade math to build her skills back up...that isn't going so well either. I'm not sure if it is me or what, but teacher my Thing 1 math, it is not going so well. Is it because I am not the best person at Math? I'll admit it, I have always hated math...never liked it. Could this be why I am not good at Math?? Is it something going on with my daughter? Is she getting too distracted by her brother being in the same room with her while she is learning?? I am not sure.

To all of my readers, and those of you that are more skilled at Home Schooling than I am: what tips or tricks do you guys have for teaching Math? What works and what doesn't work?? Please help me out because I am really concerned...should I be concerned or is this something that will pass?
