Hi, just wondering if anyone could offer any advice? I have 3 children, the oldest being eight. I've been looking into home ed for a while now but because I have ADD I have focus and confidence problems. My family think I'm mad to consider it. We heard today that my son, who has always been the smallest in his class, has experienced some bullying behaviour from older children in his class (we live in a small village and year groups are combined within classes). He's really upset by this. And it has infuriated me, because I know from working at the school that the children in question do so many things like this, all day, that virtually nothing is said about 'minor' things like this.
Basically what I'm asking is, is there an easyish way to get started with home ed, until we are able to find our feet? I already struggle with confidence and the anti home ed stance my family have taken really bothers me, which I know seems silly. My husband wants us to take each child out at the end of primary school, but I think that could be too late. He is saying the social side of it makes it worth it. We also have very little money and that is a concern too.
