I'm vaguely planning to wear non-wired when at home if I bother getting dressed that is and wired when out.
Dot I'm not sure really if you don't already know anyone HEing. But if you tutor one I am sure that would lead to more. Pretty much all my work is via word of mouth now, parents recommend me to others (nice ego boost!). The first thing I did when offering tutoring was post on my local FB selling group, that got me some non-HE pupils anyway. I charge less than others to reflect that I'm not a qualified teacher, and also that HE families tend to have less income. If places like your local library let you advertise then you may have some luck. I assume you meant secondary age but if you were willing to modify lessons for younger ones you could get some work in that way from parents who don't feel so confident teaching it themselves. My DD had some creative writing lessons aged 8 for example, she learned loads. The tutor even runs some basic literacy classes for younger ones. I never managed doing group classes though, I find that quite difficult with maths as the range in ability is so vast (especially in home ed), but anything is worth trying! :)
I am sneezy this morning. Hmmph. Not sure we'll go anywhere, will see how DD is - she did brilliantly doing her assessment as she was very nervous, but it was exhausting (mentally more than physically). I'm finding out about how to access an ed psych without school - the paediatrician seemed to think this would be a problem, but I have a whole load of families to chat to via FB (various SN/HE groups etc) who are telling me ways round it. So hopefully won't need to go private. Thank you all for being so kind
I had such a massive wobble over it all yesterday but I think that was to be expected really. The appointment brought up so much and there were even times when I felt so guilty about stuff I missed due to my own issues (for newbies I have Aspergers, diagnosed a few years back) - stuff like the way she speaks, I had no idea it was not normal :( but I need to move past it and know that at least we are getting there now.
Must just get practical about how to ensure DD is getting enough help - we have taken a big step back lately, the problem is that she gets totally freaked out by anything too much like school (this is worse at the moment because the bullying has made her remember the bullying she endured at school) so it takes a lot of work to get round that. A lot of the time I don't feel like I'm doing enough to help her - but she'd be so miserable in school too. I don't feel like that about DS, pretty certain he will be diagnosed with ASD as well, but he is so happy with it and doesn't have the anxiety and he 'gets' concepts much more easily. Plus although he was unhappy at school (and unlike DD he never has wobbles about missing it - he even said we mustn't send the new baby to school! :o) he's two years below DD and he's not been nearly so damaged by his experiences there as she has IYSWIM.
Sorry for long post!
