I am puzzled over if LHTH is pr-k and LHFHG is K? How does the planned schedule finish at 8th grade?
I love how HOD works so that dc who are on different skill levels can use which guide is best for them despite the "grade level". I also love that we can combine and use extensions (again not worrying which guide is a certain "grade level"). I've also read some posts from those who have taken a guide half speed. I guess I'm one of those freaky plan ahead types. I want to do everything "by the book" so to speak (I'm trying to work out my flexibility and spontaneity muscles as I get older

If one of you sweet ladies, who has used HOD through the years, would help explain how the younger years work. I have a 3yr old (4 in Oct.) who will be joining his older brothers in their HOD adventure soon. I'm just wondering when to get him started? Bigger has seemed a great fit for 3rd grade. I know I can't be wondering what skills he will have and what age he will do Bigger, today. But I can't shake it! If my plan is to start him in LHTH next year (he will be 4, then turn 5 in Oct.)-PRE-K, the following year LHTHG (he will be 5, turning 6 in Oct.)-Kindergarten, then Beyond- 1st (starts 6, turns 7 Oct.), then Bigger 2nd OH NO! not 3rd? Then what if I should have bought LHTH for right now? If I chose to go ahead and start where will that leave me for "the plan"? Please help, if you can. My mind will not rest until the puzzle is solved. I know there maybe no set answer. But hearing how others have plotted it will give me comfort.
I have tried to find links on this, but no luck. I'm sure they are out there.
Thanks soooooo much,
Cindy
P.S. I have edited my subject heading to be less silly and more to the point.
