I think I remember reading that some people on here homeschool their kids. I'm looking for some GOOD online resources to look into doing this. I would love some recommendations; where do I start researching homeschooling?

When I homeschooled, most of the resources I used were specifically Catholic .... if you're not Catholic, they would be no help to you at all. :) Let me know if you want them.

Hi I HS my 3 children, ages 7,4, and almost 3yr olds. I just started last year. At first it is a good idea to look at your state's HSing laws. Open Original Shared Link you can look your state up there and here are a few other links that might be helpful. I now have to take soy out of her diet to see if her symptoms go away again, and I cannot imagine how hard it is for those families with kids in school. She seems to be so sensitive too, any little crumb ect, brings on a ton of symptoms.

What state do you live in? I hs my 3 kids, and our state has an online homeschool program that's FREE. It's really, really comprehensive, and they send you everything from microscopes to phonics tiles in addition to all the other stuff. It's technically a public school, which is why it's free...but you can also purchase it if your state doesn't offer the program. It's called K12 and you can check it out at www.k12.com and see what you think.

There are tons of other programs out there, I've used several others as well. If you're totally starting new, you might want to start with a program like K12 or Alpha Omega (it's Christian, though...so that's up to you) that lays out your plans and has everything ready to go. As you go along, you'll find some other great resources and you may want to pick and choose a program that fits your child individually. Here are some other resources we've used:

Singapore math

EPGY math (Stanford university's online program)

Alpha Omega

Spelling Power (great book!)

Teach Your Child to Read in 100 easy lessons (great for beginning readers! So easy.)

Saxon Homeschool math

What ages are your kids? I can probably give you some other ideas based on age if you'd like.

Check out the boards at mothering.com. There is an entire homeschooling section with tons of info. Almost too much so that you don't know where to start. Our state also offers free cyber school. Including the computer, internet, books, etc.

Thank you all for your help! This is some great info to look through! This is my daughter's first year of preschool and I'm already getting really frustrated with how gluteny school is. :(

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
