I suggest you start up a blog, burby. Give yourself a way to see the big picture. Write every few days about what your ds is up to, and in Sept/Aug, sit down, take a look at what he did over the summer to see how much he truly learned.

We finished school here about a week ago. I told ds (10) he was on his own for the summer, pretty much.

Day 1-3
Watched his hour of tv, played on the computer for an hour, sat on the couch for the rest of the day.

Day 4
Went for a long scooter ride, practiced pitching in the backyard, sat on the couch for the rest of the day.

Day 5
made a bunch of lego toys, read a book, baked cookies, started a string bracelet and is now off with his friends.



He is slowly getting to where he needs to be - self directed for 90% of his work. I don't want him to rely on me to develop his passions. I'll support him, but I don't want to direct the schedule anymore. This summer is hard for me to stand back and watch him be incredibly bored but at the same time, it's the best thing for him.

Yes i think being bored for a while will be good for him so he will want to be doing something and at the same time he will be learning. I know ive already said this im ny other 2 posts, but im going to homeschool all my four children after the summer hols because i want the whole family to be involved. Im finding it hard to juggle homeschooling around my other children mainstream schooling. we will all have more freedom just to live and learn!! :lol:
