I tend to agree with a lot of the people here when they say that if the kids ask for something to do, that's when I look into it. DS loves soccer so he's been doing that since he was 4 and DD wanted to get back into gymnastics so she's doing that again now. My youngest DD wants to do karate...

I wish I saw more input here from the other homeschoolers because I was going to ask a very similar question. I realized that the curriculum I am currently using will not teach DD all "she needs to know" for her grade level in math. I was looking up a bunch of other math curriculum's and I am...

...to read what most of you have to say. Whenever I am wondering if HS'ing was a good choice I have to remember some of the things I read in here. If I am ever so frustrated because neither child wants to learn, I feel better when I read some of your posts. I had no idea that the same...

Hi & welcome!

When I started HS'ing I thought it was all about structure and using "pre-made" curriculum but when I joined the HS group here I realized I may be the only one who uses them. The others in the group allow their children to work at their own pace, one gives her kids a binder for the week and...

That is a great website, DD is learning about US history so thank you!

Would you mind sharing that website with me because I am at a loss at figuring out how to teach typing other than when they email their extended family!

We generally listen to the Christian station, on occasion I will change it to country which I have always despised but have come to like since moving down here to New Orleans. My dad always exposed me to so many different musicians and I feel that within the limits of your own children you will...

Before that article came out I thought I was behind in teaching my kids because I was teaching my DS to write cursive and improving my DD's skills in cursive and entirely ignoring typing but the other mothers in our homeschool group are teaching typing. I did not learn typing until I was in 8th...

Whew, you all make me feel so much better about homeschooling. I feel like I must be doing something wrong because I encounter the same type of behavior. Often. Sorry to thread jack on your topic

Thank you, so nice & friendly here!

Hi, I've been looking for a friendly homeschooling forum. I have 3 kids, a third grader, first grader & a pre-schooler. I began homeschooling just this year.
