TB 40: The Funny Boy - Part 5 The Disruptive Homeschooler

Disruptions in the homeschool are inevitable. But when your homeschooler is doing the disrupting things can get out of control fast. In this series we are discussing what to do when our homeschooler insists on disrupting the day, and why they do it. 

In today's podcast, part 5 of the series, Chaz and Christie are discussing the funny child. This child brings so much joy, and light hearted good times to the classroom. But a funny child out of control can also bring frustration and choas. 

Chaz, the funny boy, and Christie (the mom who taught him) discuss what homeschooling is like for the funny boy, and for the rest of the family.  They discuss practical ways of helping the funny child work through their natural inclinations, while still learning the control and respect for themselves and others that are necessary for their interactions with others and their adult lives. 

They discuss:

The need to gain the respect of the funny childTeaching the funny child to tease without hurting othersTraining your funny child to not use jokes to draw attention to their own weaknesses or sensitive areasClassroom techniques for working with your funny child.
