Hi, OP here. Yes, this post was old. I think at the time we just found small places for him to have alone time. We did get him a bed tent, and eventually moved him into a different room that he had to share with his dad's office space when work from home started during the pandemic. But last year we finally moved to a bigger house and everyone has their own bedroom now. Not that that stops the kids from invading each other's space but it helps. We also do have a table in the garage for bigger projects which helps my oldest with his own stuff, too. And he was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD which he was getting therapy for but it wasn't effective for the biggest issues we were having. So not sure what to do on that front at the moment but he does have private space which is very much a necessity for him.

Yes! Non-existent past picture book age. So far I've only contracted for my picture books, and I'm trying to cater more to homeschoolers because as a homeschooler it was frustrating for resources to be so obviously classroom oriented. I really appreciate your response and I will spread to fellow children's authors and hopefully get some different types of book resources out there.

Pre-made retelling and crafty stuff Yeah, I don't think I've seen that directly with books. That's a great idea. Like, printables of the characters that a parent/teacher could print on their choice (felt, paper, etc) to assemble puppets or for storyboards. Would that qualify or do you think that would still be too much work on your end? Thank you!

Read aloud suggestions - other than fantasy

You can get a lot of the classics like The Secret Garden as graphic novels now, too. Science fiction? The Last Human, We Are Not From Here Imaginary (deals with loss and grief) The Minecraft books (the actual novels not the guides) are surprisingly deep. -
Oops I missed the comment before. That's a wonderful idea, too. Perhaps I can do some research and find a bookstore that is particularly homeschool friendly. Authors do want to get paid for visits, virtual or otherwise, which public schools do pay for. But I'm not sure that would go over well with homeschoolers. I just checked out Skype a Scientist which is a great idea. Something like that but not nearly as frequently could work, and have broad use, but someone would have to manage it. 🙂

My 10yo transitioned well to Jacob's from Singapore 6. The problem sets are easy to divide into chunks or accelerate through. It starts really easy and gentle and includes just enough textual information.
