I am pretty sure I've read something about this here but I can't find it. Do any of you remember a thread or have you read an article about focusing on the mother/child relationship before diving into homeschooling.

I am thinking of a new homeschooling mother whose child is really being difficult after leaving school. Refusing to do assignments, tuning out during instruction, throwing a fit over even a simple request. The child left school about 6 weeks ago.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I think that sort of thing is usually spoken of in terms of "deschooling".. and pulling up deschooling in a search brings up a LOT of threads.

Here's one that sounds like what you might be looking for.
