And, in my limited experience thus far, I agree, age 3 is harder than age 2. I call it the horrible 3's. LOL.
Thanks. I try not to have too many pity parties, but every once in a while I get overwhelmed and mope with a bowl of ice cream.

Hi Debbie,wisdomschool wrote:Hello! Since I have been away from the message board for quite awhile, I will reintroduce myself.
My name is Debbie, I have been married to Cy for 15 1/2 years. We have 8 children with #9 on the way!!!
I have taught my oldest 4 children MFW K. Our largest spacing between children is between #4 & #5. Our child #5 turned 5 last June and we began MFW A-Z with him, but my 5 y.o. just wasn't ready for kindergarten so we put it away...
He seems ready for K now, he will be 6 this June, and his younger brother also seems ready to start some "schoolwork"(they are very different in personality).
i know how to use MFW's recommendations for how to teach two children together when one is ready for Kindergarten and on is 4, but what about teaching them both as Kindergarteners? (My younger son will be 5 in September, and I am usually in the "better late then early" school of thought, but I don't want to make him wait if he is ready.)
I guess this would be more like teaching twins, but I would love to hear from anyone who has "been-there-done-that"?
I have already written to the MFW office and they have responded-i would now like to hear from homeschool parents who are doing this very thing right now(or have in the past), if there are any?
Thank you,
Debbie
