Hi Christy & Welcome
My children were starting K & 4th grade when I began homeschooling. My son had become ill during his 3rd grade year, which made it difficult on both him and the public school system. To top it off, he was labeled "gifted" and shifted back and forth through various upper grades (with much older kids).
While my daughter had not yet started school, she was accustomed to a very structured pre-school environment - and of course my son had 4 full years in the system.
I was expecting it to be a BIG adjustment on them both... but to my surprise, they fell right into the routine without much problem. It turns out it was a BIG adjustment on ME
. I learned just how "pliable" children truly are... much less resistant to change, and very easily influenced.
We homeschooled for 2 years while my son recovered. After that, they were both anxious to return to school... and while it was a tough decision on me (again, BIG adjustment LOL) - they have done really well with that transition, too.
Best of luck to you!
