My 7th grader is using Notgrass Adam to Us and I am floundering in history for my 9yo. He is just a bit young to be completely independent. My 6yo is getting no history and a little science. I am really considering just going with my original plan and use biblioplan. We have ALWAYS done history together at least, and I am missing it. I feel disconnected. I felt like the kids understood it better when I read aloud and stopped to discuss something or answered one of their questions. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967278335358586812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041584885210937476.post-32462266832879704702016-09-03T00:05:36.324-05:002016-09-03T00:05:36.324-05:00I'm starting our HOD "guides" next w...I'm starting our HOD "guides" next week, and I'm a bit nervous running two guides vs. combining the girls.

If I had a bigger family, however, I would more likely try and make family learning work. My oldest is at such an independent stage now at almost 14. He changed a lot over last year, and I think that even if I had kept them together he would have eventually craved the independence. It all depends on the personalities of the kids you have though. You know your kids best, and know what works best for your family. You will make the right decision for this season :)Prairie + Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048564643438501369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041584885210937476.post-35562092520387700662016-08-29T17:15:15.420-05:002016-08-29T17:15:15.420-05:00That is what I am considering, but my 8 year old d...That is what I am considering, but my 8 year old doesn't want any changes!Megan Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15559452070976940426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041584885210937476.post-2845158279889128022016-08-29T17:14:40.005-05:002016-08-29T17:14:40.005-05:00It is a struggle, letting them "go"!

It was hard on me too - I missed not learning beside him and knowing what he was learning, but I also knew I had to let him fly. We were doing MFW WHL at the time and I looked forward to our 30 minute meeting every Friday to hear what he was learning and go over all his work together. (I hated the grading part too). I hope you quickly find your groove with family learning after a nice rest! <3 Michelle Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06381380110120976720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041584885210937476.post-36363204395088178542016-08-28T16:32:07.185-05:002016-08-28T16:32:07.185-05:00We love family learning; though I too worry if it&...We love family learning; though I too worry if it's "enough."
