Wel...First off *hugs* Momma, you have a full plate. Welcome to homeschooling! I am also a homeschooler. I wish you lots of luck, blessings, and love as you face this new challenge. I hope your schedule works for you. #ThisIsHowWeRollErin Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252312510636742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-55019396423714282662016-02-12T10:49:27.607-06:002016-02-12T10:49:27.607-06:00First of all, welome to the homeschooling world :...First of all, welome to the homeschooling world :) I realize that temporarily homeschooling is going to look different than permanently homeschooling (namely in that we have more freedom when it comes to what we learn and when because my kids don't need to go into a prescribed curriculum again in a few months) but it is easier than it seems. If you spend the next months focusing on enjoying your boy's company and getting to know him on his level, you'll be able to watch him learn instead of fighting with him about filling in blanks on worksheets. <br /><br />As for the diagnosis, kids are often challenging and adding in factors like epilepsy and autism definitely add a new element to the parenting journey. But it doesn't change your child's heart. Knowing things about your child can give you more tools to use in your journey. I have always believed that God gives children to exactly the right parents, and what a blessing it is for Loki to have parents willing to make the sacrifices needed to give him what he needs :) <br /><br />As for homeschool planning, I have a project section in my planner with things I want to purchase (globe, games, instruments, etc), things I want to expose my kids to (art, music, places, architecture etc), household rhythm ideas, and a page per child with notes about theie personality, interests, and love language. Super informal but it has worked well for several years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02446907869371937233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-37235451513039782062016-02-11T16:27:18.930-06:002016-02-11T16:27:18.930-06:00Mary Hill - I will.

That you are able to do that both in mental capacity and to be able to work from home and care for your children is a blessing. I wish you the best and I know you can do it. I hope that keeping him near and helping him prepare for a school that is probably 1) closer to home and 2) better prepared to help him will bring you some peace. Thank you for sharing your blog with us. Your honesty is refreshing and your advice is very helpful.

I wish that there was anything I say accept that I wish you all the strength you need (and remember: you are a very strong woman - your blog tells me so!)<br /><br />But then there's this... really, you're so lucky to actually have the opportunity to do this for your child. Where we live it's prohibited (at a fine of 500 euro per day!) not to send your kid to school (unless it's impossible to find a school that fits your believes, but that's hardly possible in our multicultural society). So when school and my youngest didn't really work out (at all), we just had to sit it through for all those years. <br />I hope this period will be good for both of you. For him to find peace (poor boy, it must be hard for him too) and for you to see your child getting back on his feet.<br />Geertrudehttp://notastation.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
