<p>Remember to take time to decompress from the environment of public school first. For some kids that could be up to a month or longer for every year they were in school. I pulled my oldest after half a year in K, and we spent the 3 months of summer break decompressing before we started k12 last school year, and then this year I withdrew her and her little sister from k12 in october and we're still not really totally decompressed from the pace and structure of k12, so we're being SUPER relaxed and easygoing about it.</p>

<p>That's my biggest advice, give the kids some time to relax and adjust to not having to get up and go to school and deal with all the structure of it all. Let them hang out reading and doing educational computer/video games, go on field trips, stuff like that.</p>
