| Anyone know of any good ipad apps for a 9 yo in 3rd grade who is homeschooled? She HATES anything labeled as or having to do with education or learning, so I'm looking for apps that are fun & she doesn't realize she's learning. Really I'm looking for not just apps, anything at all really; method... |

| Thank you so much for your reply:). It is so great to hear from someone who has been through it. We have done IEPs every step of the way - but at 3rd grade they move to a new building & force them to be very independent, which is why we are homeschooling her. She needed help she wasn't getting, ... |

| Yes, I experience this! I "help" in order to get things done & that works. The best tactic has been taking away things my DD likes. She loves her 3dsi & her ipad, time with her cousin, Grammy & being able to pick toys on ebay. If she back talks, complains, or starts noncompliance behavio... |

| Sorry, I meant unschooling! And she has been able to read since the age of 2. She struggles a little socially. She exceeded her peers every year of school academically. Her memory is astounding. If she wants to know something she will seek it out and remember it . It's just that her interests are li... |

| We have tried structure and that is what she fights against. We are doing inschooling, but I was worried that bc she hates math and has a hard time with it, that I should at least try to implement some direct learning in thst regard. That's where the breakdown occurs. Formal learning. So I tried doi... |

| I have gone through this for years and agree: it's not about a kite. What I say to my DD is "Do you just need to cry it out?". And now she will preface these "things" with, "Mom, I just need to cry it out." After she's totally calm I can sit her down & ask if there was anything bothering her. Us... |

| Hello, I'm new here. My 9 yo DD has been diagnosed with Asperger's for 5 years now. It's been a long, exhausting road. We enrolled her in a great school that was extremely supportive, but in 3rd grade they go to a new building and stop inclusion classes, much of the support she'd had since pre-k, an... |

| I was home schooled for most of my life, and usually what my mother did (also single) was give me a bunch of assignments which I had to finish by the end of the week. It was very mush open range, do in your own time at your own pace kind of thing. Any interest I had in other stuff was encouraged. T... |
