So just a little background. I am a mother of 3 boys one which who is 5 and will be starting kindergarten this year. My husband is a welder/ pipefitter and travel everywhere. Our 5 year attended Pre-K last year at one of our local elementary schools. We are having some behavior issues with him as he doesn't want to listen to me and think it is since he isn't with his dad much. We have talked about wanting to homeschool him for his Kindergarten year and see how it goes and I am wanting some advice from people to see what they think of this? I am concerned that it will hurt him in the long run with his education and am scared of that. Thanks in advance!
Hi and welcome to the group. I don't homeschool, but there are many moms here that do. Here is a bump for more responses.
It can be done and most kids benefit from it. Especially boys! It takes a total lifestyle overhaul to make it work. To curb the fighting and become a team.
I just started homeschooling my 8 year old DS.
What I'm doing is starting in the summer ( actually started last week) just to see if it would work out and then if it doesn't and It's not working.
He just goes to school in the fall and there's no loss. LOL

Homeschooling moms is a great group.

This is also what I have been doing. We started last week and I just wanted to see how he would do and if he would listen to me. He seems to be doing well so far.
You are welcome to send me PM if you'd like. My 10 year old has been homeschooled her entire life.
Quoting bbpscott:He did well in school. We never had an behavioral issues there. The problems I have are that he is 5 and throws some terrible tantrums and just all around doesn't listen.
I will not miss Math Homework!
