I have a 12 year old son in the 6th grade who has ADHD and bipolar.   I am thinking about homeschooling him and wonder if anyone else homeschools a child with ADHD.

Hi, my 9 yr old son has tourette syndrome ( confirmed by doctor ) and I believe ADHD also. We've been homeschooling for almost a year. I also have a daughter who is one of those ' perfect students '- she can sit for hours and do seatwork, while my son needs frequent breaks. It's been tricky figuring out how to teach both kids with very different learning styles, but we've managed. I expect next year to go more smoothly. It shouldn't be too difficult with just one and at that age. He should be able to do alot on his own and he should be able to choose some of the things he learns about. I've found that with my kids, if I let them have SOME say in what we're learning, the day goes much smoother and they learn more!

Hi I'm new to homeschooling - this is our 1st year. I am scared to death, but i believe it will work out. I will make it work. My DD is adhd and anxiety prbs. She is 13 and has had allot of injuries in school that have prevented her from attending regularly, and i was just getting sick of the schools freek out over abcences, that I started having bad anxiety over and had to quit my job(the meds make me worse) I also have a 5yr old boy who will attend pre-k this yr.I dont have many supporting me with the homeschooling but... no-one supported me much when i was going to breast feed either! and that worked out.
