[QUOTE="Star*, post: 161475, member: 4964"] Hi there, What is your summer plan? What do you have scheduled daily? our difficult child's seem to do so much better when they have a set schedule that they can actually see, and follow. If your schedule says 12-1:30 go to the park - and she's behaved? Go to the park. If she has not? You get to spend that time relaxing with a book while SHE is in her room sitting on her bed thinking about what she has done. Structure is a great thing to have if you can keep up the pace with multiple kids. Then again if you have multiple kids you have to have structure so you have 1/2 the battle won. What does the rest of this week look like? - on your schedule? And as far as home schooling? If you WANT to loose the rest of your sanity - go ahead. lol. I'm highly organized and couldn't provide the structure and discipline it took to do home schooling and difficult child's "vents" were towards me more than anyone too. So I hired a teacher to come to our home 3 hours a day for 4-5 days a week and it was GREAT. He got caught up, and I went to work without worrying about a call. DF suffered because he is home all the time as he's disabled but we got through it and it helped having the one on one - and the best part - the School district paid for it because.....ready for this??? THey would rather pay someone to come to my home than have him in THEIR school. Sometimes it pays to be the worst of the worst. lol Hugs [/QUOTE]
