Re: I think I need to unschool PJ
We do a mix of unschooling and structured homeschooling depending in the time of year.
For History we will be using the Sonlight book list, but my oldest is a big reader. My almost 8yo isn't a strong reader and we will be enjoying books together or utilizing audio books.
Plan to be Flexible by Alicia... Her last name evades..it is on amazon. is an amazing book for how to unschool while still meeting goals, a way to be delight driven but learn to see progress. It has been my happy medium, we don't full on unschool (after age 7/8) but i really try to tailor their education individually. For learning challenges we see certain things, I wouldn't necessarily do with another kid, as physical therapy and as necessarily as being sure muscles are being balanced after a bad injury. We have seen a lot of good stuff from Diane Craft's Brain Integration Therapy, my 8year old requested to continue some of the exercises this year because she finds them so helpful.
