Thank you. I am trying to not worry about year levels or standards, since we live in a place I don't have to worry about that much.
But this...
The key for me is to keep an open mind. At 5, that's hard because you are still exposed to milestones and lists of what kids are able to do. I messed up a lot thinking my dd wasn't really ready for what she was asking for, but as they get older, it gets easier to just go with them. Give up your sense of what kids should be able to do, and just go with them.
... really spoke to me. See, I used to teach, and although I'm not thinking about it, I am aware of roughly what kids are interested in at his age and this is not serving me well!
I am trying to use libraries and things and that helps a bit.
the other thing I'm trialing, that I think is helping is using higher level 'spine' books, and going whereever he likes form there.
I think it's time to delve back into my library list!
