Is there a point where you would require output? If so, what age? It will be required if they ever go to high school or college so I am wondering when to start something like that. My daughter( she is 12 and completed a OG remedial program) loves science, but I don't want to kill her desire by requiring a narration, summary, or even a poster or booklet because she hates that type of stuff.

Not sure if this is secular as I just discovered it, but exploration education ( http://www.explorationeducation.com/ ) looks promising. They have 3 levels of physical science.

After requesting help the other day http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/639410-dont-know-what-to-do/, I started looking for science documentaries because my daughter loves science. I found DIY SCI with Steve Spangler. She watched 6 episodes in one day and made a list of supplies for me to buy so she can do the experiments at home. Has anyone seen these? They are awesome! I wish there was more than one season. Can't wait for season 2.

Where or what type of tests identify comorbid issues? She has a Learning Ally account, text to speech app ( which she hates because of the fake sounds), and a dragon diction app to use for notes or writing. She does type so we do have those.

She loves science (chemistry in particular but not the bookwork-- more the hands on), cooking, and gymnastics (she is a competitive gymnast)

School was accommodating only. We are doing Megawords to help with reading multi-syllabic words and she also does some Steck-Vaughn workbooks for reading. I may look into more tutoring. Thanks

She was at a Catholic school. I guess when I say she needs to do some work, I mean that I feel like she needs some requirements because I hate to lose anything in readin, writing, and spelling especially. Before going to school, she had self-confidence issues about reading and has always hated to learn (schoolwork) She would love to do many of the things listed, but I figured it isn't a good idea to unschooled or do relaxed homeschooling with a dyslexic child. Maybe I'm wrong.

She went through a program with a dyslexia tutor ( Wilson and Scottish rite) which took 2 1/2 years. She is now on grade level in reading and about 2 years behind in spelling. She was only tested for dyslexia through our school district when she was 9. Would those tests caught processing issues?

I recently took my dyslexic daughter age 12 out of private school. She was there only 1/2 the year. Since coming home, we have had a rough time. I let her pick topics in history and science. She gives me trouble about every subject and 2-3 times a week there are tears. I don't think it is too hard. She has stress about grades, failing, etc from school so maybe she needs to deschool?? Last year, at home in 5 th grade, she was fine most of the time with homeschooling. I tried a free trial of time 4 learning to give her another teacher and less handwriting. She claims she hates it. She hates every single thing and can't do anything because she is dumb ( her words). I am at my wits end. I tried rewards which helps a bit when she is in the mood for the reward. She has to do some schoolwork, but I don't know what to do. Not sure if it's bad attitude, hormones, stress from school, or what. I don't think there are any other learning issues because when she is calm, she does very well. Any ideas?

Have him practice a lot. My almost 24 year old has ADD and is not medicated. I wish he was because he has had many fender benders, run several red lights (and been ticketed) as well as stop signs. Thankfully no major accidents, but I am always fearful. We tried medication when he was younger and they made him sick. He is not willing to try again even though I have told him there are new/improved ones.

Yes! My husband and I love Longmire! I always give shows 3 episodes or so.

My daughter is dyslexic. I am having trouble telling if some of her math glitches are from the dyslexia or maybe something different like dyscalculia. Seems the symptoms are similar. One big thing she does is that she constantly forgets what math symbols mean especially division if written with the line and 2 dots. She will always multiply. She sometimes confuses adding and subtracting as well. Also, she struggles with math facts which I know is typical of dyslexia. She seems to understand the process of math fairly well so I don't know. Is it something you would look into?

Great ida on portioning things out. I can have them help on shopping day. How can we handle bagged items like chips and cereal. I have one child who devours cereal.

For those with large families and on a tight budget. I feel like the food police. I have 5 children still at home ages 20, 17,15,13 and almost 12. They are hungry a lot. But we are having problems with kids eating all of something and then there not being any left for others. I feel like the food police, constantly telling them to please leave bagels or whatever for others. I have plenty of healthy options like fruit, nuts, veggies,cheese, but they would rather eat all the snack or breakfast items but then they get mad because someone ate it all. I end up being the bad guy because I should make them stop. (According to the kids who are missing out)

Hair loss, intestinal disturbances, weird rashes, period 2 months apart and then 2 weeks apart, very emotional, headaches, a bit of weight gain with no change in diet or exercise, insomnia.

This is where I found the chart. It is free. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Multiplication-Chart-Magic-for-Simplifying-Fractions-742310 I have never seen anything like it, but they can easily find the answers with a multiplication chart. I have looked into Math U see and am considering it, however, this seems to be the only area she has trouble with fractions so I am a bit hesitant to invest in it.

My almost 12 year old daughter freaks out when she has to reduce fractions. She hates finding common factors and then dividing. It is a long, slow process for her. I found a way online for kids to use a multiplication chart to reduce answers. Has anyone seen these before? It eliminates all of the multiplying and dividing. I was wondering if maybe I should only make her do a few the regular way and then use the chart to find the others. Most days she doesn't do all of the ones the math book has anyways because it takes too long.

I don't watch many, but so far I have watched Lost, Call the Midwife, Longmire, and Downton Abbey.

It means he is supposed to take his medications and go to counseling, but he usually doesn't take them which means it can be a nightmare to live with him. We had to ask him to move out of our house at age 19 because he refused treatment and made life too stressful for us and younger children with his rage episodes.

How can you tell when something is truly hard for your child or when they are whining/resisting because they are a kid and don't want to do the work? My almost 12 year old daughter is dyslexic and tends to melt down a lot. Most of it is over things that I don't think are too hard.

My son, now 24, was given label of ODD and ADHD after a neuro/psy eval at age 10. They said at a young age that certain things like bipolar and ASD can be harder to diagnose so they are reluctant to give those labels. Ends up he was given the label conduct/mood disorder (bipolar) when he was 17.

I have been in this place. It is hard. Putting kids in school can be so helpful for mom. I have a whole blog about some of the challenges I faced when I put kids in school. It was very hard for me because I homeschooled for 19 years before anyone went to school. Remember nothing has to be permanent. After my initial break, we settled on 3 in school ( 1 college, 1 public and one private) and 2 are at home.

The lady who runs No longer Quivering and those who write articles are anti-homeschooling. She and many of the posters homeschooled. Some were homeschooled themselves but their parents were into a lot of other issues that caused problems but homeschooling gets lumped in there. I am much more understanding of needing to put kids in school than when I was young, but I will always be a fan of homeschooling.

Anyone seen this movie? I am wondering if it has a lot of gory violence? My 6th grader is really interested in Vietnam no I am looking for sources. She is dyslexic so books aren't the best option since I have to read most out loud. Any other suggestions appreciated.
