Thank you ladies for your wonderful advice. I am going to order RTR for her as I had planned. She fits in here perfectly and she is so excited to start her new year as an independent learner. HOD is such a blessing to our family!

We are so excited to start HOD this fall! I will be using Preparing with dd 9 and now feel led to have dd 13 use HOD also. After looking at the placement chart over and over I see that she would fit perfectly in RTR skill wise. However, I wondered if I should start her with CTC w/ extensions so she ...

Shannon, I can't even imagine losing a child, my heart cries for you. I will be praying for you and your family for peace and sweet memories. Your story touches me very personally because my husband had a reversal five years ago and we have been blessed by our Faithful Lord with two more children an...

Tamara, I will be praying for little Ethan and his parents. Having your first baby can be scary enough especially one born with special needs. It sounds like he is in great hands at the Children's Hospital. Please keep us updated on his progress!

Dena, I just wanted to say congratulations!!! I have not had a box day with HOD but did pick up Preparing at the conference and it is wonderful!! The books, the guide and everything else!! Since convention I also decided to put my dd 13 in RTR, so both of us will have a child in Preparing and RTR. I...

Hi, I just wanted to give you some encouragement and tell you that you are not alone out there. I too just finished up MFW ECC with my dc 14, 12, and 9. I really liked the program but found it above my 9 y/o learning level most of the time. I actually taught it to my older ones and had my dd tag alo...

We just finished Preparing. :) I'm sad it's done, but excited for CTC. You are going to have an amazing year! :D Thank you for the warm welcome. I can't wait to get started. I am actually looking into using one of the other guides for my upcoming ninth grade ds. He really wants to study American hi...

Julie,

Thank you so much for those Preparing links, they were exactly what I was looking for!

I also agree that is wonderful! My mother also frowns on homeschooling and when she visits she never asks the kids a thing about school. Maybe next visit I should leave my Preparing guide out in the family room and pray she picks it up!! Praise God for how He is using HOD for His glory! :D Thank you...

Welcome! You will LOVE Preparing! I am half way through with my 9yr old dd and I am learning so much and she is enjoying it too :wink: I have found the manual stays together quite well....we do all our reading together on a lounge, her bookwork at the dining table and she takes the manual to her ro...

I have not done Preparing but will start in 4 weeks. :) We just had box day today! I am planning on taking my TM and having the binding removed to I can put it in page protectors then put it in a 3 ring binder. We will have to keep in touch since we will both be doing Prepare with our daughters! Th...

I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to use HOD Preparing with my 9 y/o dd this fall. I have researched and prayed for a curriculum that would fit her where she is and I think I have found it. This will be the first year I am not teaching all my children together so I am a little sad about that...
