M6 - your story also sounds like ours...my DS6 is in K this year - we began unschooling him and it was the BEST decision we ever made...it did take a few weeks or a month or so of just allowing him some time to deflate from all the stress of dealing with school life and then we started to see a glimmer of our old child come shining through again after being squashed flat by school! You will do fine and there are SO many resources on the net and possibly near you concerning homeschooling.
