    I loved the way you handled Taytum talking about her and Oakley’s differences in school + dance/gymnastics! Empowering them while also saying it’s ok to be on different levels, it’s not a competition and it’s not a bad thing! ❤ You’re an awesome mom.

    I loved homeschooling my boys. The way the world is going and the way schools are run I think homeschooling is the best option if you can do it. Y’all are such a great family. Sending lots of love to all of you ❤

    Having a tutor is such a good option for parents that are really busy. It’s nice for the girls because they get to be at home and not have to do all the busy work they do at school to fill in the time. Sounds like they have plenty to do to keep them occupied.

    Reading is definitely the most important thing to do. My son started reading at 3 and he has always been very bright because of reading so early on.
    He is also in 2nd grade at a private school. They are required to read every single night and answer questions as part of their homework.
    We started getting chapter books at the library and it’s been great. It’s a good age for chapter books. 😊
    Good luck with teaching! Everyone seems happy & content. That extra time with the kids is soooo special! Soak it all up. ❤
    Ps- don’t worry about what other parents say. Every child is different and everyone’s lives are different. You guys do what’s best for your kids!
    My 7 year old reminds me so much of your twins. He’s just very mature for his age and I think it takes a certain child like that to be home schooled. The child also has to want to learn. If not, it can be so difficult. I don’t see that y’all will have a problem. Your twins seem like bright girls!

    Love that you’re homeschooling! I hope to do that when I have kids. It’ll give them much more opportunity to have time in their day for other things they love while also being AHEAD of kids their age AND they’ll learn to love learning, life will be an adventure, rather than an all-day chore. So many kids just grow up hating school because it’s so rote and not cool and it’ll be wonderful for them to not have the social pressure to hate it all while giving them the opportunity to dance and act and play piano….I love ALL of this!!

      We are part of a homeschool association that is paid for through a local district, that allows my kids to take up to 3 extracurricular classes through the community, while doing school at home.
      It is definitely worth looking into your local homeschool community. We have found it to be so nice where we live. There are tons of homeschoolers out there. It's definitely not lonely if you find the right resources :).

One graduated last year and one graduates this year and then I have a 9 year old in 4th grade time is going by so fast and if I only saw them for a handful of hrs a day it just wouldn’t work for me. We get to do so many fun things we have homeschool groups in our area Tn to do field trips with lots of fun outings. If you move to Tn there is a huge homeschool community and truly is the best. You will find everyone always has options about homeschooling but you know your kids best and I have always said God gave us these kids to raise and teach and trusted us to be the perfect parent for our children so we can do this job just like many of the other hats we wear as parents. ❤

Sounds like your schedule will be more relaxed, which means that (hopefully) you'll be more relaxed. Please check in with us from time to time to show us how you guys are doing!

      @@BroBray2966 I highly recommend it. My oldest is 21 years old. We struggled with public school over the years. I'll never forget sending him for a long day away and then having to pay for Sylvan Learning after school to help him with reading. I barely saw him and felt so unnatural. My youngest boys are 5 and 7. They are excellent readers. So many children fell far behind in public the last few years. Too many politics and agendas that should never have entered school. I love homeschool so much that I wish I could have had this experience with my older children. Homeschool community is so welcoming. My older kids are shy. My younger boys are soooooo social and love talking with everyone regardless of their age. Kids in school are only comfortable around kids their own age. TGTB curriculum has been a blessing.

      I think they do In dance and other activities but the situation in America is heartbreaking, they are forcing lgbt ideologies into children sadly so i understand why so many people are taking there kids out of schools, best case scenario is if the government didn’t allow ideologies into people isint it the country of freedom and speech then why are they pushing lgbt ideology into every household

      @isabellarose.107:certain kids also do better with less distractions and with their parents helping them learn. Plus they are homeschooling the twins they aren’t homeschooling all 5 kids. Two of them go to preschool where their parents have to pick up those 2 kids.
