My oldest son is graduating this year. In just four short months, our time together homeschooling will be finished. One of the subjects that caused the greatest concern and frustration for him (and for me!) was always math. Part of it is the very real fact that he has dyscalculia. Part of it was not…
It’s one of the most common questions I hear from other moms, particularly moms with wonderfully different little ones. It’s a question that I asked myself and others, over and over again, for both of my boys. It’s a question that I would think about at night, unable to sleep, trying to figure out what…
I am asked this question all the time. Is it a reward or a bribe when I try to incentivize my child’s behavior? I work with a family that has super smart and also pretty intense kiddos. It comes with the giftedness territory and these children are no exception. Their eleven year old was struggling…
Homeschooling a struggling learner is not what I thought it would be. It’s so much better and in some ways, worse. When my son was in public school, I spent a lot of time daydreaming about what it would be like if I could stay home with him and homeschool. No drop-off meltdowns. No calls…
What does a strength based homeschool really look like? Here’s your chance to take a peek! We went to the guitar store last week… Four times. We didn’t buy anything. No, we walked up and down the rows of electric guitars. My son explained to me the difference between the styles, the electronics within and…
Stay sane and have a little fun as you homeschool through the holidays. These are five ways to make it educational and enjoyable! All month long, in an attempt to figure out our 2020 Thanksgiving plans, my boys and I have been watching Thanksgiving cooking videos on YouTube. This will be the very first year…
This is what you can do right now to help a resistant learner. There is no way I could’ve possibly tracked how many pencils my son has broken over the years. Let’s just say a lot, OK? It’s his go-to method of shutting down whatever it is we are working on. I honestly think he…
Are you interested in adding a foreign language for your child, but you don’t know where to start? This is the best way I’ve found to homeschool a foreign language. When my youngest son was about seven years old, he proudly proclaimed that he wanted to learn to speak French. As this came out of…
It’s a question I ask myself constantly. “Am I spoiling my child?” Last week, I sat on yet anther couch and prepared myself for whatever the therapist had to say. She has been working with my son for a few months, I am not involved at all in their sessions. (This is social skills therapy…
I know it shouldn’t matter so much, but the truth is, my child isn’t at grade level and it’s really difficult sometimes. “He is reading at a first-grade level now,” I said to the doctor, holding my breath. “What?” she said with a mix of surprise and concern. “At his age?” I paused for a…
“I can’t seem to find anyone who homeschools their child. My son is 13 and is autistic and epileptic. I have never met anyone else in similar situation. I feel so alone and don’t know if I’m doing anything right. I have nothing to compare it to and no help at all. Any ideas. Thank…
Today, I’m giving you a peek inside our homeschool. This is what interest-led learning really looks like! My children are both wildly different. My oldest is a thirteen year old, self-professed computer geek with a strong interest in physics, non-fiction and occasionally, reptiles. My youngest is ten, energetic and delighted with any fictional account of…
