RE: October Homeschooling Miscellany

That dessert looks amazing for peanut butter lovers. I do like it but only can stand so much of it at a time lol.

I too tend not to take photos every time we visit the zoo. I feel the pics start to look the same from visiting the same enclosures.

That monkeying around looked like a lot of fun.

My kids are still fairly young but my older ones have expressed they’d like to know what it’s like to ride on a school bus. Well hey, there are five siblings in this house and we have a van…that should be close enough. 😅

We are currently involved with a homeschool co-op because they were getting bored with just being at home. Sometimes they are thrilled about it but other times claim it’s too much work. I think letting them have the experience of being amongst other peers and having different teachers has been good for them. I think it’s always a matter of wanting what we don’t have or experiencing what we never experienced before. I wonder if this is what your son is going through? Maybe it could just be a phase?

Sort:  

It was VERY peanut buttery. Pretty much made the ice cream the equivalent of a full meal, think I put on a kilo frrom it XD

I feel pretty much the same about taking the same pictures at the same enclosures ^_^;

LoL! The public school kids usually take public transport to school here, if it was similar where you are you could just take a bus somewehere during the time that kids would normally be taking the bus to school XD

It's entirely possible it's just a phase or that it could be a case of wanting what you don't have/trying something you haven't tried before/grass is greener. If not for various issues I would just do what I did with my daughter and let him try it out and see if he survives (except that either way J would still be having to manage it, was way too freaking hard for me).

I did try to get him to go back to homeschool group but he wasn't interested. I really think he doesn't know what he wants x_x I probably should have done this last year but we had a lot going on so it didn't enter my thick skull. This year I'm basing his entire program around bartending (his latest obsession, he has been interested in hospitality for a while so i guess this was a progression? and also I'm just straight up dumb as I have spent most of the time I've been homeschooling basing their entire programs around their obsessions XD). Will see how we go I guess ^_^;

They have rode a public bus maybe one time when they were really little (I'm sure they don't remember lol). That's a good idea though.

Yes it seems he’s at the age where he’s exploring his interests but hasn’t yet found exactly what he wants to stick with. My 12 year old is kind of at that stage now where she wants to try a variety of things but hasn’t quite stuck with anything yet.

I love the fact that we get to see firsthand what they seem to gravitate to and then once we know they really like something we can help them hone in those skills and encourage them further :)

He's been obsessing about bartending for a good few months so I really should have known better XD We did the same thing when he was very interested in marine biology some years back, but I didn't have a major thing distracting me back then, that's what I'm blaming XD

issue has since been resolved
