My hats off to you:) Working full time and homeschooling. I work from home and it's challenging:) My boys also went to school through Kindergarden. My 7yr. old is really intelligent but was very frustrated and they didn't even want him to go to 1st grade, but now he is in 3rd grade and we have since found out that he has a learning disability and we know he has some form of Attention Disorder as well, but we are coping. We have so much fun and I LOVE teaching them. I too was homeschooled the last four years of school. Sometimes you'll feel like giving up, and there will be bad days, but hang in there. The Lord is sufficient. I know that I focus on the fact I know that God wants me to teach them, so they can have the best education and learn about Him and what our country was founded on. That's what keeps me going:0) I have recently had lots of medical issues, but God is so great. Because my boys have done tremendous. I love how we can reward them for really working hard and LOVE to know they can depend on me to help them. If my boys were in the public school system they would never be able to learn. They both have different forms of dyslexia, so they are gonna have to have special help with their reading, and they have to have special things done in order for them to learn. That makes it a little more difficult but it's well worth it. Hope you guys have lots of fun. That's the trick when you have one with attention problems is to get on a schedule so they know what's coming next, but make it fun and hands on:)
God Bless,
Christina Allen
