Q&A; #051905
Man, today is such a beautiful day, itâs hard to concentrate inside!
Last night, on the way home from church, Maegan was wanting to know what we were going to do when we got home.
âItâs already almost 9:00 â itâs past bedtime, so weâre getting a snack and then youâre going to bed.â
âBut, Mommy!â she exclaimed, totally shocked, âitâs still morning time!â
Poor Maegan. Now that sunset isnât till around 12:30 a.m., she is just seeing daylight all the time and thinking Iâm making her go to bed in the morning! Being almost four now, this is the first summer that sheâs really noticed the summer daylight.
Well, letâs dive into this weeks Q&A;:
ârespected madam, i came to know about the coloring contest today & i felt very bad that i missed that, my kid, 3yrs old loves doing coloring & she does it very well.i felt sorry for her that i came to know about that very late. so if you have some more of those competitions coming up please let me know, my kid will surely participate.
thanking you,
madhavi"

"I love the concept of your cooking program but I was wondering if this would work with older children or if you have a program for older children. I have 6 children ages 12, 9, 8, 6,5,1. Any help would be greatly appreciatedâŠThank you, Joy Hamm"
L.B.: Hi Joy - you must be a busy Mom :-).
My son who is 9 enjoys the cookbook when he reads it and does it himself, but it is really simpler recipes for that age and younger.
If you want something printed out and all ready to go, then youâll want the Homeschool Cooing With Kids System in a Box. With it, youâll get your first 2 months of the kids recipe club for free, which has a slew of recipes for ages 2-12.
Or, you could go just with the Kids Recipe Club. It is $29.95 to sign up and then $9.95/month for as long as you want to stay on. It has all the recipes of the Homeschool Cooking With Kids System in a Box, plus 4 new ones each month. That's at www.kidsrecipeclub.com .
Let me know if you need any more info - hope to have you part of our cooking family!
âWe have just recently gotten back to Christ. My son accepted the Lord in his soul last night. We have talked obout homeschooling in the past, but I'm unsure of my ability to teach. Our preacher and a member of our church homeschools The kids seem to get a lot out of it. I was taught at home for two years and loved it, until I went back to public school. Thought you might be able to send me some insight. We live in Wirt Co. Thank you.â
L.B.: Well, welcome back! Isnât it great to have unconditional forgiveness and acceptance! You know, if you are doing younger elementary ages, it is so easy. Even if you donât think you know the stuff thatâs taught for that age, youâre working right along with your child and can learn it too. You can do from making up and planning everything yourself to buying kits that spell everything out â including what to say! Much luck to you!
(If you or anyone else needs help, the âHow to Survive Your First Two Years of Homeschool Knowledge Systemâ is a great resource. click here)
âHi!I was wondering if the parent can buy and test their own child as an alternative? Would the fact that a parent has a degree help, or does it not matter. Thanks!Heidi Shapiroâ
L.B.: Hi heidi â what state are you in? In some states a college degree does matter when homeschooling and testing depends on your states laws. Here in Alaska, we donât have to test at all, but there are many places online where you can order tests if you feel like you need it.

âThanks so much, I can't wait to try these out, and I'm sooo with you on NOT having math competitions. I was really awful in math, and really didn't catch on until I got up in years in public school and Junior College where I excelled in math.
I especially can't wait to try the stuff that involves cooking. I hate cooking but my daughters love it.
Thanks again!
