Hi. I'm a full time mom of four children, the oldest nearly 8 year old girl, 5

year old son (Aspergers, Sensory Integration Disorder, and ADHD), nearly 2 year

old son (yet to be diagnosed..many of the same symptoms as my other son) and 1

month old daughter. I am ending my first year of homeschooling both my daughter

and son. I found it challenging, not only being new to homeschooling, but

because of my childrens' individual needs. Although my son goes to OT once a

week for an hour I still find it hard for him to sit and listen to a brief

direction even after lots and lots of working with him (ourselves at home as

well as the OT). My daughter always showed some symptoms of ADHD but not enough

to make it so severe that she couldn't do basic functions. She has become more

aware of her attention deficit and now my younger son has become tougher and

tougher each day. Our public school system here is not good for a " normal "

child and know full well our children would get lost in the shuffle. We had

done private school for two years with our daughter where she was bored b/c she

was ahead. I'm trying to challenge her and work with her ADHD but finding it

hard with the boys. Any suggestions I can try to get them on the right track?

Thanks so much!
