Worksheets and Meltdowns

So we are finally starting school around here. Not full lessons but some placement tests and math worksheets. Really slow and easy start..or so I thought. So far Phoenix has found this all extremely stressful and spent half his morning crying over three math sheets. To know his personality its obvious its not him trying to get out of work but that he truly feels stress by the slightest change in routine and my way of teaching just doesn't match up with what he expected. So today we compromised and have decided only two pages of math a day until he gets used to it and if he can't get used to it we would try another program. Maybe SOS as its probably more his speed for math. I really wasn't prepared for meltdowns so early on. And we haven't even started our "trip around the world" yet. God please grant me patience as were in for a LONG RIDE.
