Homeschooling a child with unique learning needs has pushed me out of my comfort zone more than anything I’ve ever done.
I was the mom who said I would never homeschool; I resisted for a really long time. It turns out I didn’t have much of a choice. God needed me to step outside my comfort zone to meet the unique needs of my son.
When you have a child with Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia, (The Four D’s), you cannot force them to fit inside the box that is public school.
October is Learning Disabilities Awareness Month; but in our family we like to refer to the Four D’s as learning differences.
One in five children have a learning disability.
Learning differences do not mean a child is stupid. Far from it! Many of these children have average or above average IQs.
Yes, homeschooling my kiddo has taken me way outside my comfort zone, but it’s the best fit for our family.
God knew I needed my kid to teach me that learning can happen in a world of different ways!
