You waited too long...need to start at 2 years old, when just a love-tap makes them cry. Even a few years after that and they’ll both be more resistant and also know you’re not serious.
Really no different than parents who IGNORE us conservatives, enroll their kid in public schools, and 6 years later decide to home school and do not realize the results that other home schoolers are claiming (and backing up).
It’s important to identify who is on your side EARLY, and those who do, know that Dr. Spock, and the Public Schools, are simply NOT on their side.
Really? The absence of fear of violence, or an actual invitation for it by a 4-5 year old is not an indication of pathology - her's or someone else's? Perhaps it is better to exasperate a child?
My one size fits all comment was obviously lost on you.
Homeschool is no guarantee.
