Thanks for putting so clearly what I feel about my kids! They are both having occupational therapy regularly - because the OT can teach them things that I can’t (and I don’t know why I can’t!)

But if you feel you should homeschool, I would go for it - there are so many things you can teach them, in the way that you feel they should be taught. There is also so much that school will teach them, quite a lot of which you may not want them to learn!!! You have already shown you reach out for extra help when it is needed - I think you know that you would do that with academics if it were needed there to!

I think you are doing a great job.

WOW! what an excellent post. You h ave really touched on something so very hard for many parents. I admire your transparancy. I am so glad your little one is getting some great guidance, and is progressing nicely.

However, I’d like to say that even though it feels like you aren’t able to help him the way he needs it…you really are. I got him the help he needed. YOU ensured that he is getting what he needs. You are wonderful mother.
