Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Homeschooling?

Homeschooling took my son (who had only had one year of school at that point) from being clinically depressed and anxious to being happy and far more confident in a matter of a few weeks, once we assured him that he wouldn't have to go back if he didn't want to. Not claiming that homeschooling is the cure for all anxiety and depression, just that my son's was purely situational rather than intrinsic.

Edit: Remember, too, that your decisions aren't set in stone. You and your DD are free to choose what is right for your family at the time, and to change your minds later. Of course, if you are contemplating putting her back in school relatively soon, you wouldn't want to mislead her about that or tell her that she didn't have to go back when she might, in fact, have to.
