Yes just little steps and routines that you take in everyday life to make things a little bit more easier. Also if you can share your general schedule for the days it will be helpful. I am new to this and just trying to make my day a little more survivable.

Thanks for the resource. Looks like there is more opportunity that I thought.

I am not sure if this is the write place to post this. How do you manage homeschooling, kid's activities, and housework? How does a typical day in your life looks like?

Hi we are moving to cherry hill, nj soon. I want to know if there is any homeschool support group around this area, where I can meet other families.

How do you use/schedule vocabulary cartoon for you students. I really like the idea but not sure how to implement it.

I am looking for blogs of homeschoolers with gifted kids for inspiration. Please share your favorite ones.

I have the Chessmaster Grandmaster edition and it works fine with my window 7

Thanks If your son wants to do competitive chess, don't wait, there is no magic level where they are ready for tournaments. At this level, you goals should be learning Very basic Principles of chess Very basic endgame No opening what so ever until your rating is well over 1300 A lot of tactics and I mean a lot. Thinking process, this one is hard but a must Analyzing your games with a coach or computer engine Chessmaster is a good software to play chess with the computer for beginners, it has different personalities. it does a decent analysis of game. tchess pro for ipad is good No matter what software you use, you need to understand that it will not help him improve a lot unless he is learning on the side using books, training CDS, and DVD lessons. If you have a coach it is even better. Most softwares after Friz and Chester are desinged to play and analysis chess games rather than teach chess.

Can you tell me more about his level, and rating if he has one.

thanks everyone for all the suggestions, it was very helpful.

I am looking for middle school science videos or DVDs for my DS. He is very visual, and science loving kid. Currently we kid of search you tube for any topics that interest him and watch it, but was wondering if there are any other source available other than you tube.

My husband was also the same way as yours. But after three years of non productive time spend in school, then having to come back home to be afterchooled, to only find out that after which we didn't have enough time to do other interesting stuff, he changed his mind.

Can somebody compare this two program for me. I am thinking of getting the middle school book.

Hi, I am new to homeschooling, my DS is going to be 9 yrs old next month ( I got it right, I am embarrassed to say this but I always think he is much older than he really is, and when he corrects me I will literally be shocked every time). We are pulling him out of public school to be homeschooled. I am not very much interested in radical acceleration , so what are the other options for a fast and curious leaner.

sorry wrong place
