I am just an asshole who has too many kids. I have an older kid with a ‘’rare’’ disease that they diagnosed with three separate conditions that require a bunch of appointments and ‘’therapies’’ (which we won’t get into). I don’t really understand what a lot of them are for, not really sure that it helps, but I like getting out of the house by myself every once in a while. <br><br>I also have a child that was ‘’diagnosed’’ with ADHD who is just being a young boy. He doesn’t need to sit still and be quiet all day, that’s my poorly substantiated and most likely biased two cents.<br><br>I have a kid with ASD (‘’level 1’’ or whatever the lingo is nowadays) who is a slow reader but has been doing a lot better with reading and ‘’socializing’’ in the last year or two.<br><br>I have a kid that has been diagnosed with ‘’ADHD’’ and ‘’OD’’. He’s not really verbal yet, but I’m not sure he’s really ‘‘ delayed’’ at this point.<br><br>I have a ‘’neurotypical’’ non verbal toddler with no diagnosed ‘’disorders’’. He’s pretty quick for his age and is learning new stuff everyday, too.<br><br>I have a 4 month old who is the only one that doesn’t know what I am saying and doesn’t care if I swear yet.<br><br>I want to try some sort of homeschooling/augmenting. I don’t love the idea of unschooling but I’m willing to work with that if it makes sense. But… I’m a dad. I don’t want to not work because of what people will think. But I don’t want to work a ton because I want to enjoy my kids being young while it lasts.<br><br>What are some good programs or augmentations taught in schools that are free-ish or relatively cheap? I don’t want ‘’boxed sets’’ or curriculums that tell me how long until my kid is ‘’grade level equivalent’’.<br><br>I am just a dad who is okay with math. Maybe just recommend me some math programs and websites.
