  1. Thank you everyone for your advice. I am praying a lot on this and I will try to talk to other moms with 11 year old boys and see if they are or have gone through similar things. Again thanks everyone for your encouraging words.:001_smile:
  2. I am to the point of giving up homeschooling my son(11 years old). His back talk, complaining constantly of what needs to be done in homeschool is getting to me. It has been going on too long and I am reaching my last. Has anyone gone through this and how were they able to go on????:confused:
  3. Thank you for the insight. My son is 11 years old and my daughter is 5 year old. I will look at them both again and probably use both of them. Thank you.
  4. But what would I used Sonlight for and then what subjects would I use Abeka???
  5. I am trying to decide what curriculum to pick for my kids next year. I like Abeka and I also like but do not know too much of Sonlight. Some people have told me that Sonlight is more interesting and kids get less bored, not sure. Has anyone used one or the other and their kids love it and are doing well with it??? Just wondering. Thanks
  6. Nakia, at times we all feel that way. You are precious. You are in my prayers!!:grouphug:
  7. I wanted to test my son with math, reading and other subjects to see what level he is in at the end of the school year and that would help me know what he should have for next year. Does anyone know where I can get this? Is there any place online that I can test my son? We have almost completed 5th grade, and wanted to make sure he is really ready for 6th grade. thank you.
  8. My son is 11-1/2 years old. He was diagnosed with high functioning autism. He is having some behavioral issues right now. After a while of ignoring him and his fits, he calmed down and we sat and talked about what had happened and all is well again. I just purchased The Total Transformation program and pray it helps me on how to approach him when he has bad behaviors and helps him to better manage his anger. Thanks for your toughts.
  9. What do you do when your child is screaming and out of control?? If you are waiting for him to calm down, what do you do when he doesn't seem like he is calming down, he is yelling at you, making fun of you, teasing his sibling to be spiteful and rebellious, calling you names......what do you do????
  10. What should a child know after they finish kindergarten?? I know every child is different, but what are the basic things a child should know after kindergarten and starting 1st grade?? Just wondering? Thanks
  11. Praying for you and your family!!:grouphug:
  12. Wow this is great. I have made a list of these great book series and will try them with my son. I continue and will continue to read aloud to him to encourage the love of reading. I also read to my daughter (5years old) all the time and she does show interest in reading. Thanks
  13. Thanks Mrs Mungo. I will try some of those books. He does like Amelia Badilia. Thanks Lillian
  14. My son is not at grade level. He is at 4th grade level and unfortunately his comprehension when reading is not too good. I still would love to get him started on a series that maybe would catch his interest and have him love reading.
  15. I have an 11 year old son who really doesn't like reading too much. Wanted to know if there are series of books that your children enjoy reading? I know everyone is different, but if I try some new series he may get interested and enjoy reading. Thanks

  18. Yes I have been trying to find one to purchase. What would be a good price to purchase one used? Thanks Lillian
  19. Does anyone know where I can purchase the book, Heartfelt Discipline??
  20. Thank you. I have been thinking of putting him in swimming classes and aso music classes. Thanks and I will try that also.
  21. I have the book and will give it a try. I am reading another book right now and after that one I will pick the other book. Thanks and good luck.
  22. NJKelli, So you put your child back to ps? We are looking and I will be researching more on the cause and also reading up on the DAN protocol. Thanks for your thoughts.
  23. He wants nothing to do with Public School and cries when I tell him that if I am unable to homeschool him because of his behavior and not wanting to listen he will then go back to ps which he gets so upset at, he wants nothing but homeschool.
  24. My pediatrician suggested we go to a behavioral Therapist and we went twice and he hated it. Also, she is not covered in our insurance and we are waiting to see how much if any we get back from insurance. But we will continue to go to her and see how things work out. Thanks
