Hi Sonia,So how does your son enjoy the deschooling?
How long did it take to pull him up to his grade level.
I ask these questions. Cause the State of Virginia is very picky. Brittany is a challange, to get up in the morning. So that is why I have done the reward system.
If she has a bad morning I will let her earn her points back. But sometimes its very hard for her. She also states that she see things that others can't.sometimes voices as well. I have been working really hard with her. Yes to to other children in the home. I have a 13and 3 yr old. However the 13 yr old just went to live with her Daddy from my first marriage.She could'nt take it no more. I think alot of the rage was do to the them. However I dont believe in
long term punishment too. I will give her time out. But it has to be in her room. At times she will go off.
I have to hold her in a love hug. Untill she can contain herself again. It's been a hard road. However
I know that God have given me this child for a reason.
Brittany was on the apnea monitor when she was born.
She had stopped breathing on me a total of 5 times. She was also give very strong med's back then. I cant
remember the name however it was to help out with her
reflux back then.
I have also been reading the Bipolar child too. I am
learning more with the internet too. However I am just
like you are. She is better off with me. I understand
her but do they (school) really understand her? I do
feel like I am hitting a brick wall. But I now that she is having a hard time at school and just dont want
to go too. She had miss alot of days. I will work with
her at home and send work to school But when I mention
homeschooling to her teachers. They are like, she needs to be around other child her age. I am going to check out the website and to check out Flat Travelers too.
Thanks so much for the input.
Debbie and the family
