Challenges of Illness and Injuries

or even natural disasters, fires, etc.

Beyond Surviving Homeschooling
If you're a Christian parent who lives with chronic illness and you have also been "called" to homeschool, you've found a place to call home.

Enjoying the Harvest
I've had a couple of tough years following two car accidents. Through it all, we've homeschooled and I'm not sure who has learned more...the parents or the children! By Amanda Bennett.

Homeschooling Children w/Chronic Illness
This group is to provide support for families homeschooling children with chronic illness. This group is an outgrowth of a talk I gave at a home schooling conference on challenges and crisis. Many families are living with the stress and lack of support that comes from this difficult situation.

Homeschooling the Chronically Ill or Disabled "Student"
Contrary to what most of us assume, it's no more difficult to "teach" an ill child if flexibility rules your home. By Leese Griffith, July-Aug 1995 HEM.

Homeschooling during the Swine Flu Pandemic
As some schools are closing in Mexico and the US because of the outbreak of swine flu, some families are being forced into a few weeks of "accidental" homeschooling, and they just aren't prepared.

Homeschooling Moms with Fibromyalgia
This is a place where we can not only discuss fibromyalgia with others that have it, but discuss homeschooling, too. Here you will get the encouragement you need when you are having a hard day homeschooling, or are suffering through a bad flare.

Homeschooling Through the Tough Times
Recently several people who are considering homeschooling have contacted me and said they really want to homeschool but then they go on to tell me about some crisis in their family which they are waiting to get resolved before they begin. By Marsha Ransom.

Slowing Down … BIG Time
The last two weeks have been tough. I have been experiencing all-day-long contractions (not the real thing, but tiring nevertheless) which has left my back tired and my shoulders tense. Because truth be told … if left unhindered, children DO learn lots on their own. And their learning is so precious when self-initiated. So I'm not stressing about any of this.

Teachable Moments
Let a crisis, for good or bad, become a "teachable moment."

Geocities Site: Vanishing October 26, 2009. Move your content to A to Z Homeschool Blogs
Teaching in the Midst of Family Illness
Touching site, with music, on challenges faced homeschooling while the mother very ill. By Denice Whitaker.

Therapeutic Homeschooling
It's a term my husband devised for what I do: Blending Waldorf Education at home with managing my daughter's bipolar disorder; making sure that my daughter's education isn't undermined by her bipolar disorder; and insuring that she is successful in her daily endeavors as well as her yearly goals.

What Is Wrong With Being "Shy"?
If a child is "shy", why is it so important to send them to school to "cure" them of their shyness? By Tammy Takahashi.
