[QUOTE="helpmehelphim, post: 94719, member: 2650"] Hi! I started homeschooling last year and it's gone very well. I have twins who are 12 and a toddler. I offered the option to both older boys since I felt that best for our situation. They both decided to try it. We have a large homeschooling group here. It is fabulous! There are 3 major Universities in the area and the group gets resources from all of them (my kids take a class through one of them that meets monthly). We also provide twice yearly activities (I just led a class at our library to share resources for keeping toddlers busy with- activities while spending time teaching to the others...school in a bag for toddlers kinda stuff). There are so many activities and learning opportunities for us. It's a great group! If you'd like other information and any insights into the downside of it (because there are downsides of course and one really has to take the time to nurture themselves or patience runs really thin at least for me) or anything (like curriculum or websites), please feel free to pm. I have found that actually both of my kids are more successful now in their learning (they were in middle school though which can be brutal) than before and for my difficult child, success is crucial and really turns things around. I also see in the big picture, a time where they will go back to public school and difficult child will have more tools to help with- coping. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
