Thank you ladies for all of the advice. She is doing RTR this year and I will keep going to the next guidebook. I really don't want to skip any of the guidebooks because I really like what they learn in each one. My daughter is loving the physical science this year. I am going to my states homeschoo...

Thank you StephanieU. I have been doing smaller chunks with each of the kids and rotating around. It's not perfect, but things are going a lot better. My 10 yr old is getting much more done in a day. I will keep tweaking the schedule till we find what works for everybody.

Thank you. That makes sense. I might try that next week and see how it works. My oldest has never had a problem getting her work done. I might try switching between my 8 and 10 yr old. Work with one for a bit then the other. Thanks. Its 430 right now and I havent even started with the T boxes with m...

Yes, we did Preparing. We don't necessarily have a specific schedule. I have a child in LHFHG and one in BHFHG. So while I work with them in the morning I tell my older 2 that i expect them to do thier independent stuff in the morning so i can work with them in the afternoon on everything else. He k...

My 10 yr old son is in ctc. I cannot get him to do his independent work. He has ADHD. I don't know if that is part of it. Does anyone have any experience, suggestions with a child with adhd who doesn't want to do thier work? Should I just do everything with him and not have him do any on his own? I'...

A few years ago I took a year and tried doing my own thing instead of HOD. It did not go well so we came back to HOD the next year. Now my oldest will be going into 8th grade next year but will only be in the Revival To Revolution guide. So she will be a guide behind going into high school. What sho...

Thanks! That is a big help. I think we'll do RTR next year. She sometimes, often, needs a little prodding to get her work done. She would rather read or play with her siblings.

My daughter just turned 12. Reading- She reads the same books I do. We haven't really done formal literature study with terms. She can do, and has done in the past, Drawn into the Heart of Reading. Writing- She does well copying, both cursive and manuscript. Although sometimes she misses spelling mi...

We had taken a year off from HOD and did our own thing. It did not go well. So we came back to HOD. But I'm wondering if I should start where we left off or jump to the level she should be in. She finished CTC but should be in revival to revolution. Do i skip resurrection to reformation? If I start ...

This will be my 4th year using HOD and i love it! But i need some advice or suggestions. This year I have a 5yr old, 7 yr old, and a 10 yr old. I'm going to be doing LHFHG, BLHFHG, and PHFHG. Any suggestion on how to get all three done? I've combined the 7 and 10 yr old before, but the 7 yr old wasn...
