[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 589456"] I homeschool everyone but difficult child 1 and I homeshooled him in kindergarten. I have our morning and bedtime routines posted. They do their routine then school. Our morning routine includes get up, say prayers, make bed, eat breakfast, comb hair, brush teeth, clean room, do household chore. Each of them have a different chore. I have found the more severe the autism the harder it is to maintain the routine and the more he falls apart when it is not maintained. Tge first day if homeschool it took us 6 hours to get through this routine. Now difficult child 2 can get through it in 2 hours and everyone else in 30 min. Then they take a break. Normally this is lunch. Then we start academics. We have routines for our academic subjects as well. I'll pm you what curriculum we use. Don't worry if things go slowely at first. Its ok, and he'll be learning more from you than he would in public shool even if the pace of material covered is slower. You're not going to move on from a subject just because the rest of the class needs it when he hasn't got it yet. Homeschooling difficult child 1 for kindergarten was a nightmare, but I was determined that he would know how to read before he went to public school. I knew from the genetics he was from that he wouldn't be taught to read in public school. Ge fought me over everything. Hours of rages over asking him to just pick up a pencil, but he thanked me years later. There also might be homeschooling groups where you live that do social things together. Please bear in mind that is just how our family does school. Your family might need something different. Good luck [/QUOTE]
