[QUOTE="In_a_Laundry_Bunker, post: 493100, member: 13472"] You have no idea how nice it to find people who know what is like to be me... well actually you probably do. I don't really have anyone else. My husband is a truck driver and although he has a lot of home time because he's not over the road there are times were he is out for three days so I'm alone. There have been times my son has been so bad I've considered calling the police but I just don't have anyone else but I feel so stupid about that. I've started reading the Explosive Child book and I see so much of my child in that book. I'm fortunate this week I'm on break (I'm a student too) so I have time to read. I get a lot of suprise from people when I tell them we get all our work done in 2 hrs. But I did a lot of research on my son when I was figuring that out. I realized that he can't concentrate well until about 10am so thats when we start. Then once I have him focused we continually finished all our lessons in 2 hrs. It seemed crazy to me but it worked. We do math, science, social studies, language arts, reading, and spanish in that time. We then have a break for lunch and quiet time for an hour and then he has to help around the house. Once a month we go on a field trip related to what we are learning about. We take a few days off for Thanskgiving, a week for Christmas, and 2 weeks in Summer. The good is that I get to teach him at his peak time for learning which little struggle, the bad is we have a lot of time left during the day that is open. [/QUOTE]
