I was completely intimidated by homeschooling for a very long time, but when we finally made the decision to try it, it's been such a good thing our son. Not only has he regained his love of learning, homeschooling has helped us work specifically on his executive function issues, while giving him the pace and depth he needs. And we get to play in his strength areas, while we stretch in growth areas.
Another thing to remember is, it doesn't have to be a forever decision. We are on the cusp of returning to a more normalized schooling environment, and I feel confident that the time is right. But every year we come back to the question - to homeschool, or try something else?
