Creative art for children is my specialty (not curriculums in general, sorry). I am the author of twenty books on the subject ... books filled with art projects and art ideas. I would be happy to help think up projects for kids in particular areas of interest. Again, I am an expert in ART, but not really in "Crafts", and though I know how to make art work in a homeschooling environment, I am not a homeschool specialist. I`m happy to help. MaryAnn F.

I can answer pretty much any question about homeschooling, particularly in relation to the unschooling method. I am happy to answer questions from parents who are homeschooling their children or kids/teens who are being educated at home. I can also offer perspective on life after homeschooling, and what it`s like to be a grown homechooler in college and the workplace. | |

I can answer questions about pros and cons, socialization, statistics, methods, curriculum, support, activities, and homeschooling preschool. I cannot answer specific questions about homeschool laws, but I can point you in the right direction.

I guess I'm a bit confused...Do you reside in the same state as your grandchild? If not, it seems as though it would be fairly difficult to homeschool unless it was all online. But regardless, my understanding
