Our little one just started attending public school but we intend to homeschool her at some point as we are not particularly fond of the overt ideological indoctrination of the state. The main reason we want to start her out in public school to be able to build a foundation for social skills.
I attended public school all the way to graduation and thankfully I was loosed from the programming (only by the grace of God) but, from what I can ascertain, it has become worse in the harmful ideas the state and corrupt politicians are pushing.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we may have to pull her from school early if she cannot cope as we recently learned she has moderate autism. We got news that she had thrown a pencil at a teacher and hit other children.
I don't know what's got into her but due to her condition she is unable to effectively communicate it so we are in a tough spot. She did just have her first teacher retire and I can tell she really liked that teacher. Think she may be acting out because of it. Still yet, it doesn't excuse the behavior.
Anyways, if we cant figure it out. We may have to go the homeschool route as a matter of necessity but I'm not sure how that would work or if it's possible due to her disorder.
Anyways, it's a trying time. Any prayers appreciated. Good article! 👍
I can definitely understand that you want her social skills to be developed especially if she is the only child. We have five kiddos so they socialize amongst each other as well as with friends when they play outside. There is also the option of joining other homeschool families so she can make lifelong friendships as well as your family getting more support on your homeschooling journey.
The beauty of homeschooling is you can teach your daughter based on her needs and learning style. The more time you spend teaching her you will learn more and more how her brain works and the best techniques to teach her. Some kids just learn better when there is less people/pressure around . She could also be acting out because the teachers aren’t understanding what her needs really are.
I want to encourage you that as her parents you are well capable of teaching her, having some one one teaching with your undivided attention may be just what she needs.
Your family is in my prayers and I hope you find the path that is best for your daughter.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting. 😊
You have my prayers. I know you'll made the best decision for your little one.

Have confidence in yourself, it is most certainly possible to homeschool her. Here we have quite a few homeschoolers who home educate children on the autism spectrum because school wasn't working for them. Many express positive results from it. It's much easier to work with them to their needs as a parent than it is as a teacher with lots of other children to teach. - @minismallholding
