hello all. well this is my first post in this forum so i thought an introduction would be in order.
maya mom to ian.
well the hard parts over, the introduction was easy. here's the hard part.
my mom and i have decided to homeschool my son. he is nine and in the 4th grade. and public and private schools just are not working. technically he is still enrolled at school because i dont know what to do next. we are not religious, the reasons we have decided to h.s are the enviroment at the schools here are not correct for him, he needs tons of physical stuff and doesnt like crowded places, the class rooms with 35 students just arent working, he has dyslexia/dysgraphia but has been advocating for himself to be homeschooled for several years. he is just overwhelmed with school, hurt and angry at past failures at schools and that the teachers, administration or whomever cant pay attention to him.
i made a list of things that i need to do to homeschool, for example
check out state laws in minnesota and fill out paper work.
organize a space with an area we can keep him schooling stuff.
what now? do i order a box from a company? which one?
do i sign him up for connections academy?
help! all you experienced mama's out there wanna help a newbie? please?
thank you so much.

take this time to just chill and learn through living, but not searching out info unless he wants to.
and your childs reaction to that).
much much more than i ever thought and he enver opened up and said so until we did that process. Give him time, have great down time while baking/cooking, playing music/cards/games. Relax, it WILL be ok, take it one day at a time and no rushing.
