TB 36: The Disruptive Homeschooler Part 1- The Meltdown Child

Disruptions, they come from everywhere - the dog, the phone, the doorbell, but the worst is when your homeschooler is the disruption. They come in many forms - the meltdown child, the distractor, the talker, just to name three. But, they all have basically the same purpose - to be noticed and to delay school. 

For the next few podcasts, we are going to discuss different types of disruptive students, and give you some practical tips for dealing with their unique style of disrupting a school day. 

In this podcast Chaz and Christie will be discussing the Meltdown Child. From their own personal experience as a homeschooler, and the mom who taught him, they will describe the classic meltdown situation and the two main causes of such behavior. 

They will also give many hints and suggestions for working with your Meltdown Child, including:

How to train your child to handle pressures and distractions Arranging the classroom and other learning environments to accommodate your child's particular needsBreaking down assignments into workable sectionsCurriculum options for the distracted learnerCatching a melt down before it happens

And finally, they will encourage you sharing with you the results of a lifetime of training for an adult homeschooler who was once a Meltdown Child. If you have a child who meltdowns in or out of the classroom, this podcast will be an encouragement, and a help in dealing with the disruption of meltdowns and give you a plan for making them a thing of the past.
