My parents were disconnected from my education but in comparison to the other ways that they were connected to us, our education was just the small quirky stuff that didnt matter too much. What did they do right? First & foremost, they introduced us to the love of the Lord. The second most important of all, they loved each other with such a deep passion. By doing so, they showed us how to love beyond the other's faults & have fun doing it. My husband & I make sure that we show affection(light duty stuff..lol) around our kids. Holding hands, a smooch, singing a part of a love song to each other, dance together...just those little things that make the kids laugh...as well as us. Just as I have, I pray that they will look back on this stuff & it will help them in their future relationships. We have tried to live the LOVE example, loving God, loving each other, & loving them, all unconditional loves. So maybe we havent screwed up in too many other areas..lol...We CAN live on love, right?...lol They kept us around extended family, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, & cousins. Takes a village to raise a child. My mom taught me lots of laughter & how to approach people. My dad taught me to make others laugh & dont take crap off of people who dont have right intentions.

Children with diabetes...1 or 2
MilkMaid replied to MilkMaid's topic in The Learning Challenges Board
I feel your pain. My girls attended public school & we have never been more happy with any other decision we have made for our kids than homeschooling...especially with diabetes!..Now that my dd is 12yo she is raging through puberty & that is a WHOLE different ball game with diabetes. She is cooperative most of the time about everything...but some days her hormones are on a rampage & being that insulin is a hormone..well one can only imagine the tears & drama that she presents us with. Puberty with diabetes creates such different problems that a person can only learn about & watch for. Nothing you can do to prevent or change it. Homeschool lifted a weight of my shoulders like I couldve never imagined. I would like to keep in touch with you. I dont know a lot of folks who have diabetic kids so its nice to share stories. My email is drinkmilk7@gmail.com :001_smile::001_smile: -
WOW some extremely great ideas...love them all. I have to put this into action for her...I want to act on her passion not just let it ride. Thanks so much everyone!

I am clueless about art of ANY kind. I have a 7th grader & 9th grader that I homeschool & I do not even know where to begin anything on art. I truly only want to give them a little visual on art. I dairy farm & simply do not have time to devote, nor do my kids, to studying art...Basically just need guidance on maybe a book or books, websites, etc that kinda hits the high spots of art. HELP!:001_huh: I do realize this is a WIDE ranged request..lol..Anything you have will be better than myself.

Some local ppl & I have started a small homeschool group that we have big plans for. There really isnt anything in our area for homeschoolers, we seem to be a very small minority. (Not really surprised though,LOL.) What I am looking for is a place that I can set up a web page for our group to refer to calendar dates for field trips, archery club practice, etc... Also we would like this to be a place that others in our area who may have questions or interest in homeschooling to refer to our site for contact info, etc... So I am hoping that some of you veterans who have experience in this category can give some guidance on where to start, like where is the best & easiest (& free) place to set up such web page. I am clueless when it comes to any of this so ANY info would be helpful as I need ALL I can get. Thanks & God bless!
