Childcare & Education

I am prone to anxiety already, and the rise of school shootings gives me pause in sending my kids to school once they reach school aged. I know statistically, it's unlikely, but it's so scary. Any advice on tackling this fear? Or any insight into public versus homeschool?

We started the nursery settle in sessions and they have gone TERRIBLY. A number of things have not been right in my opinion when I’ve been attending, also my chilled out easy going girl was distraught. Understand that it’s a process but I’m still not happy with it all. All round been a horrible experience. I have...

Wondering if any homeschool moms here keep homeschooling through summer? What does that look like, do the kids seem to mind? We have about 9 more weeks before our summer break but is it too much to start thinking about starting next level of math/reading/spelling? We took maybe three weeks off for the whole school c...
