We are a homeschool family and I love it. Yes I feel that my children receive so much more attention that they would at school and this makes a difference. My youngest daughter has down syndrome she will be three in April and we plan on keeping her home just as I have done with my others. She is doing so well. Have you seen these videos on You Tube?

I have created a blog about some of the things we are doing at home with my daughter here is the link;
