How was school today?

• Is your child falling behind academically?
   
• Is your child picking up negative behaviors?
   
• Is your child being picked on, bullied, teased, or ignored?
   
• Is your child depressed, stressed, frustrated, or anxious from the academic, social, or sensory demands of school?
   
• Does your child meltdown when they get home from school?
   
• Do you and/or your child dread daily homework?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, home schooling may provide the solution for your child's academic and social struggles as well as minimizing your child's daily stress level.
