Try these tips, it helped me a lot: 1. buy a digital voice recorder=on low mode it records 100 hours or more and you can use it to write better notes at a moreconvenientt time. -25-35 $ version is just fine. 2. Take notes on every lecture or class. Teachers test on what they talk about more than whats in the book. 3. Use different color highlighter pens to higlight the main word in your notes, to better remember it while studying, makes it faster to memorize. 4. If you need extra credit, ask the teacher after class. Often they are very understanding and will give you an essay you can write to raise your grade in the class. I did this at least five times in four years. 5. If you got a digital recorder, then record your lectures in class and review them by listening to them with earphones when your kids are sleeping or busy. You can also transfer them to your mp3 player if its more convenient. I hope this helps, it helped me through working two jobs at same time and having a son and wife. good luck.

Talk to your children with respect. and they will talk with respect. Limit televission time, and don't let them have a T.V. in their room. Kids withdrawl from the family early enough and comunication is a must. Talk to your kids about sex and drugs. most kids experiment out of curiosity, if they know what it is about, they will more then likely not try it as early. Always punish lieing more severly then telling the truth. That away the kids know that even though they get into trouble, it is better to admit what they have done rather then hide it or keep it a secret. Make kids do chorers to teach them that in a family, every member is important and that every one has to work togeather to make it a good family unit. It also teaches a kid responsibility. Teach your children to have compassion for other people. We are entirely to desensitized now days. Correct your child imedietly, you have less of a chance to do it out of anger, and you definately wont forget to punish them. Teach your children early what it means to be a man / woman. So they know what will be expected of them. Don't bail your kids out of trouble, or make excuses for them. Teach them that they must take responsibility for what they do. That means appologizing and making things right. with the other person. Teach by example. Make sure your children see you being polite, and kind and compassionate and doing what is right. Make kids do their home work when they first get home this teaches them that work comes first and play is to be done in their spare time. Keep Your children busy. bored kids tend to get into more trouble. Make sure when you have to be away from your child, you leave them with adiquate supervision. Make sure you spend good quality time with your children. Talk to them and really get to know how they think. when they need to express anger allow them to do so. they will be more likely to come to you when some thing is bothering them. Teach your child the value of volunteering. It builds thier self worth. Always remember to tell your child when they have done well. weather it be on a drawing or were really well behaived. Kids love to be bragged about. and it encourages good behavior and work. Listen to your child, and never make light of what they say. What seems to be a small and unimportant issue, can be a major catastraphy to them. Don't give into tantrums, you are only making the next one bigger when you do.

She does not have all the attributes, but enough to make her a "different" learner. (she also fits an Asperger profile) She has a phenomenal memory for words and images and has great cognitive capabilities. But, motor skills are awkward, math and spelling are almost impossible and she has a very high rate of distraction from task. She is a unique individual who refuses to fit in any "box". We have found that unschooling works very well. We use documentary television, Internet news, encyclopedias etc. We have a world map over our computer and a globe at the ready. Even though she is a good reader, she enjoys me reading to her and we read the best books we can find. Usually 19th century classics, Pearl Buck, Barbra Kingslover and any other that tells a good story and informs. We choose movies carefully. We rented "Pan's Labyrinth" and before we watched it we researched Spain and the civil war for two days, we also researched the current news of Spain and discussed it thoroughly. When we watched the movie it had so MUCH more meaning for us. So practically everything we encounter we research and discuss. Very little written work; it chokes the flow of thought. She has a good grasp on the overall history of the world and it's peoples, an appreciation of other cultures and religions and a knowledge of the world around her. We do the same for Science. It so refreshing to explain to a 12 year old why the ground cracks when it dries and then have her ask a month later right out of the blue: "If all matter occupies space, and light occupies space, is it matter?" A great way to make learning relevant. (We studied Einsteins theory of relativity to get the answer to that one-but boy, it spiced up the conversation, and was amazing to see how a young mind, unfettered, could take a simple concept like drying mud and extrapolate it into a quest for E=MCsquared.) She does copywork to improve her handwriting and I have her do Mavis Beacon teaches typing for her keyboarding skills. Now that she is older I have Apologeia Science for a framework for her, starting at high school level and Mars Hill Latin helps her understand English better Math was and is tricky. We have switched to "Math U See because she has trouble retaining numbers, math will probably never come. We use Easy Grammar and Easy Writing as our framework. I researched the Robinson Curriculum and try to use that philosophy coupled with unschooling. Yes, she is a weird kid, she doesn't fit in with her peers, she doesn't want the prize; she wants the journey. I think the trick is, is that the learning must have meaning. We were told that the use of voice recognition software is good for NVLD kids to get their thoughts down on paper. So far we haven't tried it because she is resistant to technology. I hope this has been of help. It's hard to break out of the box and take education into your own hands, especially when you stray off the beaten path (even for homeschoolers) I think the most important task is to emphasize your child's strengths, follow his interests and try to compensate for the weaknesses without putting too much stress on the impossible.

I do it because I can't see a dog who is lacking something - discipline, affection, food, grooming, whatever, and not make some effort to provide it :o) I usually take dogs who do not do well in a shelter setting or who are not very adoptable - shy, poorly mannered, not housebroken, etc., so it is a lot of work. I have the help of my two dogs (you see them in my avator photo). They serve as good role models for the foster dogs, which is a great help. Sometimes its hard to let go - when you have invested a lot of time and energy getting a dog to trust you, its easy to think nobody will be good enough to take him home. But the best reward is seeing a dog who has been adopted, and who is doing well in his new setting. In my case, I have chosen to absorb any costs other than medical expenses. I used to foster for a better funded rescue group that could afford to reimburse me for food, as well. Every group is different. I foster for a small private shelter.
