[QUOTE="Merfille, post: 76879, member: 3911"] Good luck with the homeschooling. We do that, too, and as a whole, I think it is going very well having a young child with BD. Not always easy [img]:smile:[/img] (i.e., reading this afternoon - yikes!!). The good thing is, you build up a collection of different things. If reading readers is not going well, like this afternoon, we switch to a computer program for reading/phonics. That takes emotion out of it, at least as far as anyone other than her, so that really helps her. No matter how calm I am, the computer is better for her at that point. She loses that melted look of frustration, "plays" her reading program, and gets back control/self-esteem. She doesn't understand the journey or process of learning (of course LOL), so if something is not easy immediately, she gets very frustrated (sometimes sad, sometimes angry). Anyway, I like the homeschooling because we can change gears. We can also shift from subject to subject. She is working quite happily on art right now (yea!). It's great to be able to choose curriculum based on her learning style. The good news is nothing is permanent for any of us as far as if one way is not working, you can switch (public school, private school, homeschool, etc.). We just go day to day and know we can always make a change, if needed. That takes some pressure off. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
