Remember The Little Prince? We should enjoy the scents and colors of our flowers, but never, never take them seriously.
It makes sense to me that hard physical labor outside in the sunshine and the wind would be a good thing for Stardude. (I have "made hay" in my time. It's an amazing thing to do, really. Very hard, very sweaty ~ but what a feeling of accomplishment to see the bales come together and then, to see them stack up in the barn.) Once he has that feeling of hard work and accomplishment down pat, he will be in a better position to study and retain information, don't you think?
If some months go by and there is still no schooling, that would be a very bad thing ~ but you can address that then, if and when it happens, Star.
This is something someone told me to do, once. I was so worried all the time about everything. What you do is go out and find a jar. A special jar.
A God jar.
Take a piece of paper and number it from one to ten. No more than ten. Those are ten things you want help with. Once you write the thing, tear it off and put it in the God jar.
Let that thing, that worry, go.
You will be surprised at how the things you put into the God jar have a way of working themselves out.
