I have so much respect for people who take action to make their families better - whatever that means for them.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947282601018898077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044285.post-56922577724631869972008-09-10T15:13:00.000-07:002008-09-10T15:13:00.000-07:00Hi Carolyn,We have realized since posting about ou...Hi Carolyn,<BR/><BR/>We have realized since posting about our experience how rare these learning options are - we are indeed lucky. I got the curriculum and it's kind of hit and miss (predictable). We've done lots of learning this week but it doesn't necessarily correspond with the books. We'll figure out the balance over time.<BR/><BR/>On the topic of the allergies...all the reading I did on the net a few years ago suggested that it was lifelong and would likely get worse. This summer I had the opposite experience! When my body is in balance and not under too much stress they seem to ease off. I ate cherries! I have been able to eat some apples, particularly if I peel them. As soon as I had a week where I didn't have enough sleep, had too much caffeine and a few glasses of wine it went backwards again. It gave me hope though.Tannishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134146104790517065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044285.post-81131798904357169772008-09-07T05:45:00.000-07:002008-09-07T05:45:00.000-07:00HI from Australia,the home learning programme soun...HI from Australia,<BR/>the home learning programme sounds wicked!<BR/>I hope you'll find the curriculum a helpful time-saving guide you can tailor easily.<BR/><BR/>Lucky you - our education system won't provide something as nice as what you have - especially the gifted class which is what we really need and still do - we had to do it all ourselves with an out of area school. the kids he mixed with were all fulltimers and a nice bunch. The 'fun' day at school seemed a little unfair on the regular kids! it was expensive but worth it for a happy child. He's gone to high school now though - own choice, and definitely not a social freak or academically backward so enjoy! and be grateful your education 'system' is more advanced than ours!<BR/><BR/>PS. I read your blog because i have the same food allergies as you and sadly I live in a place with lots of nice orchards too :(TTFNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12809918309849465983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044285.post-44968147394601262182008-09-01T08:06:00.000-07:002008-09-01T08:06:00.000-07:00Thanks Chris, watching your family in action has b...Thanks Chris, watching your family in action has been a big influence in this decision! <BR/><BR/>Kaili, I had no idea...but somehow it doesn't surprise me too much! I have the waldorf curriculum sitting in my living room as we speak. Not that I've read much of it yet (Ivy has!). I'd love to meet with you and your mom to soak up some wisdom.Tannishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134146104790517065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044285.post-8332828084797176892008-08-30T20:58:00.000-07:002008-08-30T20:58:00.000-07:00Oh man I am SO excited for you guys!
