Heather K. Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Has anyone skipped SOTW 4 due to the violent content of modern times? SWB gives a suggestion in the foreword to consider skipping it for kids under 4th grade. Mine are 5th and 2nd. I hate to just skip it... and mess up the 4-year cycle with my oldest. But I'm wondering about my 2nd grader. How have other people dealt with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 My 2nd grader is reading it on his own. He loves it. Is your 2nd grader sensitive? There is violence in every time period. The ancients weren't exactly peaceful. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Alfred Academy Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 We skipped the modern time period this 4 yr. rotation without "messing up" our 4 yr. cycle. We just spent more time in American history from Explorers up to the Civil War. We'll hit it during the other rotations. FWIW...my rising 5th is pretty sensitive.
