“I feel like a baby, all the time. I want to be able to do school like everyone else,” my son said a few months ago. Hesitantly, I asked him what he meant. “Everyone gets to do their school on their own and I have to always be with you so you can read to…
All week long, I have shared how I plan for a new school year. I shared where to start and also our curriculum choices for sixth and tenth grade. I want to wrap up the week with some real life examples of how hands-on learning layers into my curriculum choices, particularly for my youngest son….
As the new school year approaches, I find I am being asked this question all the time – What’s the best curriculum for children with learning differences? It’s been more than a decade since we first began homeschooling. That first year, I actually thought very little about curriculum (I look back on now and wonder,…

When we first began homeschooling, curriculum was sort-of an afterthought. After three years in public school, the mechanics of homeschooling were what concerned me most, not what we were actually learning. It seems strange now, but it looking back, it makes sense. When you are teaching in a traditional school, there aren’t really a ton…
Behavioral changes and consistency take time – far more time than I like to admit. So why do I always feel so much pressure and rush to see progress? How long should it take to change my child’s behavior (and my own, for that matter)? I saw a pamphlet in my son’s doctor’s office yesterday….

I am a paper girl. There, I said it. I love notebooks. I love pens in every color. I love stationery stores. It’s no surprise that usually I buy a new paper planner each summer, as I begin planning for the upcoming school year. But the truth is, as my children have gotten older, the…
