Inside Our Normal, A Neurodivergent Homeschool

Welcome to our Normal!

I’m Cynthia, normal at our house includes 2 trampolines, 5 sizes of pencils and indoor and outdoor swings, and a whole room full of LEGOs.

Neurodiverse Kids don’t fit the standard, “one size fits all” box. They are a little extra, more intense. They play harder and ask more questions. They may carry a special toy longer and hate change. Their brains are wired differently, often due to a learning difference or a disability. I know because I have 3 of my own!

Our special kids challenge us as their parents to seek out of the box parenting solutions. I learned to be a student of my children and learn their cues. I have learned to listen to their behavior and actions as well as their verbal communication. As Charlotte Mason says, “Children are born persons.” They think, act and feel. Honoring a child’s behavior as a method of communicating their feelings and needs validates them as people.

Around here, you will find help for the homeschool journey as we teach these unique learners. Video Workshops, Curriculum reviews of what is working at our house, and other help and resources you request.

My Gift for You:

As the parent to out of the box kids you are uniquely equipped as their parent to be their teacher. I’ve compiled some of the things we learned during those hard early years of homeschool and the tricks we still use today with Outside the Box Kids. you will find ways to adapt curriculum to work for you, encouragement for the hard days and resource suggestions for your homeschool.
