Education Friday-Guest Mom



Today, a perspective from a mom friend:


"This summer I am leaving the majority of homeschool 


subjects to the little guy's dad, his tutor, and his big 


brained therapists. What am I working on with him? 


Reading comprehension. Every afternoon I write 


sentences that are pertinent to C's life, and then have 


him read them aloud and then answer written questions, 


sentences like : "I like to watch youtube videos about 


elevators. Some elevators are made by Schindler or 


Otis." 


Working on reading comprehension is a pretty tough 


workout, and today, I tried to approach the concept of 


"why". I remember a television show talking about 


"why" as a "nasty little protestant word", and I think C 


feels the same way about it. It is now after 5:30 and I 


am pouring a very rare and well-deserved daytime 


cocktail."


Another mom mentioned the existence of a book by an 


autism mom on how to approach why, how, and similar


concepts. Anyone out there know the author's name or


the title?


Why? Because I could use some help.
