  1. Ever since I started hsing my inlaws have been concerned about my kids "socialization." But like most of you, in my opinion, my kids are have better social skills than the ps kids I know. They will talk to anyone of any age group, have no trouble making new friends and are able to have intelligent conversations about a wide range of topics. My father inlaw actually told me that I needed to put my oldest in ps so he'd get "knocked around a bit and learn that his opinion isn't the only one." :001_huh: How they consider that to be "socialization" I'll never understand. One of my hsing friends said I should have told him that I aim to provide a well-rounded education and I'd get right on that. Ha! I agree that my oldest tends to be a know-it-all, and we do need to help him realize that he doesn't know it all, but I think that's a personality issue, not a social issue. I'm pretty sure he'd be like that even in ps, only he'd get made fun of a lot and probably develop self esteem issues. I really don't understand why so many people think that the best people to teach my kids social skills are other kids their age who don't yet have the best social skills.
  2. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! What an awesome find!!
  3. WOW!! Those are awesome! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing! I hope your kids like them so much you decide to make sets for the rest of SOTW, too. ;) Rebekah
  4. I'm getting ready to order ours. Now I wonder if I'll be disappointed! Why are you tossing them? Rebekah
  5. I love this idea! I've been needing something to motivate my kids to do their chores. I think this might work!! Rebekah
  6. I'm so worried about next year! I'll have a 2nd, 1st, pre-K and 1 yo. My oldest ones still need so much attention and I dont know how to give them than while giving the little ones the attention they need, too. I need to figure out a schedule, but every time I sit down to do that I get so overwhelmed that I end up saying, "I'll figure that out later." Ha! I think it's going to be a learn-as-I-go kind of year. :001_smile: Rebekah
  7. I love read alouds, too, but don't particularly enjoy reading aloud that much. We have started listening to more books on CD. I print out pictures for the kids to color that correspond with the history or if it's STOW they can follow along in the book. I can fold laundry or color with the little ones and then we can all talk about it. It's working well for us so far!
