We just decided this weekend that it's time to pull our kids and homeschool. We're super excited and anxious about it, but know without a doubt that it's what we're supposed to be doing.Do you follow a certain program, or curriculum, do you come up with it on your own? Our oldest has high functioning autism, and has really struggled with math, especially the new Common Core methods, which is partly why we're pulling them.He's 9.5, and I'm concerned about how to teach the math to him.
-
We have twin toddlers (1 year old) who are into everything!I'm homeschooling my 2 older children and it's becoming really hard because I'm constantly having to chase the toddlers around and pull them away from stuff. What TSG techniques can I use on children this young? Also one of my girls screams all the time - this ear piercing, window shattering scream and its horrible!This seems to be the only way she thinks she can communicate. Help?
-
My oldest daughter is 16. She is a junior and up until this year she has been homeschooled.She is wanting to get a part time job after school. I would love for her to have a job, but how do I know when a child is ready for that kind of trust/commitment level?
-
What is your rule for taking toys outside? Do you have specifics ones that can go outside? Or if they get ruined is that the natural consequence and you just throw them away?Are your children allowed to help themselves to the fridge when they are 5 and under?Are your children aloud to go in your room? What about with friends? How do you teach this?
