The following question is from Dorothy.
“I am in desperate need of help. I have always had the idea to homeschool but have never been able to do so due to finances. This year, my son and I have dealt with issues resulting from poor social skills and impulse control. He has always been socially awkward and felt pressure to make friends, which in some cases included him acting as a class clown. I have reached out to a local counselor and pediatrician. We are both lost and scared. We have been praying and I feel God is taking me in the direction of homeschooling. I should mention that I would be working three days a week and wonder if that would fit with me homeschooling.”
