[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 523656, member: 11847"] I know in my heart that V probably needs an extra couple years to mature and be ready for school. In almost all areas, he is about 2 years behind. Which mean he is about 3 years old. If I was to keep him home, he would grow up with Sweet Pea so he would not be alone. It is so weird, when he was younger I raised V and Partner as twins. I did not differenciate because they were so close in age and maturation. Now, Partner is growing so fast and V has slowed down. Maybe he is lucky to be a middle child: he can now take his time and grow up with Sweet Pea. In the morning, it's just them 2 and the pressure is not as high. It is also hard to remember that V does not have the same craving for social interactions as Partner. V does not miss his classmates, never mentions them. We have no family around us and we don't go to church. And our work is not local. So that creates a certain amount of isolation. But V really does not seem to mind. Our neighbors are much older but V loves to vist them all and I believe it is just as fullfilling for him, maybe even more. He sure forces me to think outside of the box! And rethink the way I was raised (my mother always voice her opinion about homeschooling as being for outcast and being cruel to the child). [/QUOTE]
