We made it through another round! I have chromium picolinate left

overs from child #1, I could try adding it. She's been on gluten

free before, it did nothing for her. On round she had very little

appetite to eat the entire three days. She eats gluten. She loves

goat milk, too.

I forgot what a hot topic homeschooling is. Homeschooling parents

can't discuss that we have problems sometimes or vent that we would

just love to pack them off to school, without many people thinking

the solution really would be sending them to school. This is typical

but it is not based on reality! I would just put her there because of

being tired of dealing with her crap, not because it is the best

place for her.

My daughter has severe dyslexia and expressive and receptive

language disorder. She would just be humiliated in school. She then

would play the juvinille delinquent tough girl role. I have managed

to get her literate. This was a huge accomplishment, and mostly I

can't take credit for it. Many curriculums failed to teach her to

read and she just had to untwist that knot in her brain on her own

finally. She's still working on it and making progress. In the past 3

months she's learned to spell 75% of words. I don't think we have to

worry about her going to college. Not that she isn't smart, she

created and owns her own petsitting business. She just can't read

and write well. And she would rather walk over hot coals then do

things like read books " for fun " and write essays on purpose. You

don't here me bragging about all of the impressive homeschooling

educational acrobatics this kid is doing. She's not that kind of

homeschooler and her lack of enthusiasm for learning spreads to the

other children, because of her electric personality. She's quite a

leader.

Furthermore, she is very street smart and in no way sheltered. She

and another child managed to form a group to be the antagonistic

bullies of the homeschool group we were in, alienating most of the

childrens and their moms. So, it is not like she didn't have

opprotunities for socialization that she's mucked up and continues to

do so.

I have the boy's town book " Teaching children social skills " that I

am working through with her right now. I think it is great for

children like mine who are going to recover from chelation and need

to be trained or retrained in social skills. Having needed to train

child 1 in social skills towards the end of his chelation, I feel

more ready for this and will try sooner with child 2. We have been

going over the first six skills since october and she still doesn't

have them down. I am making things uncomfortable for her because she

won't listen or learn. So, cell phone and video games are gone for

the time being. Soon, I plan to have her undivided attention. It's

been two weeks of being grounded and she managed to get another two

weeks tacked on additional and the cell phone is gone permanantly for

continual misuse..

The thing is that we have to find a way to teach our children to live

in this society, and that they have to act a certain way to survive

in it. That is what we are working on. Chelation is a huge

transforming part of this but we also have so much work to do on the

behavior. If she needs mood stabilizing drugs, that is probably a

better option than a detention home.

This is further damage the bureaucratic worldview that naturally comes with

public

education does - the idea that everything should be DISPASSIONATE, that if

there is

emotion involved something is wrong.

===>A little distinction here, I don't think arguments should be devoid of

passion, however, when the emotion goes past a certain level, people are not

listening to the message and I usually fail to see the point of continuing.

When I write that we pulled our kid out of public school and then read where

I'm advocating public school for all kids/extolling the virtures of public

education, what would be the point in continuing a conversation when people

are so hyped up they can't read with any comprehension? Rhetorical.

For years, I've made my living figuring out when people are listening, and

when they're not, what is impeding the process. Dana's reply was passionate,

she may have been angry but it wasn't keeping her from listening, the second

responder was angry that I was not " thinking " the way she wanted me to, ironic

as the most frequent reason for home schooling, and I think the quality it is

best for, is individuality.
