  Heart of the Matter Online — Authority: 547
  My daughter started her sophomore year of homeschooling before we finally learned why school was so difficult for her . We walked out of the third floor office of the learning specialist and neither of us spoke. Instead, we each attempted to absorb what the doctor just presented in ...

  Heart of the Matter Online — Authority: 547
  Being bilingual is a special gift, but it’s not a rarity. Did you know that over 60% of people in the world are bilingual? Among Americans, though, that rate is only 25%.

• Tourette Syndrome: Homeschooling With Tics

  
  Heart of the Matter Online — Authority: 547
  We had already begun our homeschooling journey when our younger daughter was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. Since she was only four years old at the time, I wasn’t all that concerned.

• The Frustrating Part of Homeschooling

  
  Heart of the Matter Online — Authority: 547
  “I can’t do it! I told you I can’t!” your son shouts and then throws down his pencil and pushes the book away from him. He jumps up and knocks over his chair, “I hate this!” he yells. He stomps from the room and you hear his door slam once, no twice. As silence descends you wonder where did you go wrong. ...

• Gifted Education: Stress with Joy

  
  Heart of the Matter Online — Authority: 547
  “Let’s get Kevin! He’s a reader!” From the earliest days of kindergarten, my child was labeled by teachers and others. At every birthday party he was called on to read birthday cards.

• Hands-On Learning

  
  Heart of the Matter Online — Authority: 547
  It seems like such a simple concept. As babies, our children learned everything by touch. They picked things up, put it in their mouths, and rubbed it against their skins. Even board books came with plush and other materials to encourage children to feel and learn. As our children grew older, they learned by their ...

• Tailored to Fit

  
  Heart of the Matter Online — Authority: 547
  One Size Fits Most. That’s what they call it these days. Gone are the days of t-shirts, hats or other clothing items with “One Size Fits All” written on the tag, or so it seems to me as I browse through the racks. Clothing manufacturers are finally noticing that we are not all in the middle of the bell ...

  Heart of the Matter Online — Authority: 547
  I have said it before and I will say it again… One of the most awesome, most beautiful things about homeschooling is the gift of time. You are out of the rat race. If you have anything to say about it–and of course, you do– your children WON’T be left behind. They don’t need the village unless they ...
