Help! I keep trying to understand my DITHOR material, and I don't get it. My ADD mind has to have everything spelled out for me, especially in the beginning when I'm trying to "see" what I'm doing. I'm starting with my 10-year-old on Monday in PHFHG and using DITHOR Level 4/5. We're going to be doin...

Wow Carrie: Pretty much nailed it down in one foul swoop ... otherwise known as post. You gave me peace about the 10-year-old. He is quite sharp and a great reader, but not familiar with HOD so I would rather take it a little slower and build up. I'll look at Beyond again. Maybe I'll let Stephen rea...

Thanks Christi!

That does help. That would carry my oldest through 10th grade if we did PHFHG this year or 9th if we did CTC. I wonder ...

Still trying to figure it all out!

Ugh, I'm back to questions about PHFHG with extensions or CTC for my oldest. Here's where I get confused. How far will HOD go. What is after R to R. Is HOD scheduled to end by high school. I'm not a planner, but just trying to figure out where it will end and if these programs are written to sustain...

Goodness ... it is difficult to watch your chldren be hurt or upset. Like the rest of you, the mama bear comes out in me as well. I've been a little hesitant in posting because my view may be a little different. I'll preface with my age (41), because I often think it influences how I think. If I off...

I do have a peace about 3 of the 4 boys. Stephen (8-year-old) still has me guessing. That's about right. He always stretches me. Praise God! How boring life would be without my little munchkins! One thing I am still trying to figure out is the history with Jonathan (10 and 95% sure PPHFHG). I have a...

Oh my goodness. I just realized that you guys aren't going to be in Virginia.

Oh Carrie: I have to begin by saying .... THANK YOU! I brought my children home from PS so we could spend more time focusing on God and our faith, and teaching our children about missions and reaching out to those in need. We failed miserably this year because we were so busy trying to complete the ...

Wow Kathleen! Thanks so much for all the information. I'll read it about 10 more times to try to digest everything. I wonder if you have ever used DITHOR as a kind of book club with three of four kids discussing ... maybe on the fifth day which isn't scheduled? Also, has anyone used any of this in a...

Wow ladies! Thanks so much for all of your input! I'm quite certain now that ds #3 (6) will be doing LHFHG and that ds #4 (3) will be doing LHTH. How long will each of those take on average? Also, ds #2 (8) will be doing Bigger. Is any of this independent work? How much time will it take? He is a re...

Thanks Jenn and Christi: I appreciate all the help and wonderful advice. I believe my oldest would work more independently, allowing me more time with the little guys. I'll look for the posts about how long PHFHG and C to C would take each day. I think I like the look of the history in PHFHG because...

Hello ladies (which causes me to ponder ... are there any men on here?) Anyhow, I have been looking at HOD for several months and have been reading the boards for the last few days. While some clarify, others get me more turned around ... so I thought I'd just jump on with all my information and see...
