...I'm thinking of homeschooling next year (He's currently in a Montessori program.) and sort of experimenting with different ways of teaching him.
It's been really difficult because he'll refuse activities that are "too easy" but also shut down when something becomes too hard.
...
He doesn't usually do well with independent activities either, so he requires a lot of attention.
I don't have much to contribute, but I'm in roughly the same place with my son who's three and a half years old. Homeschooling for kindergarten is probably in our future, and I'd like to do some casual learning activities this fall when he turns 4 to get a feel for what he likes and how he learns best, but he's also a nonreader with no interest in that (for now). He gets frustrated with most activities because he doesn't have the fine motor skills to make them turn out the way he wants.
The thing I always wished they had more of (and they did too!) were field trips - that's one thing I think I'd work in as much as I could if I was homeschooling a young child - my kids just soaked up so much learning from simply visiting any place at all and seeing something new
I really like this idea. We will be living in the States for a year starting this summer, so I hope to see as much as we can.
