| Pre-school
Lee, you asked about pre school & I'll tell you about my experience last year. My ds has been at home with me & I thought the socialization would be good for him. We ended up taking him out after half of the year. There wasn't really a good system of discipline in place so he was more hyped up & a bigger discipline problem for me when he got home. Also this preschool (at my church) had kids his age & a year younger. I guess the teacher spent more time with the kids who were younger, I don't know. My ds (who is just almost brilliant ;-) ) had known his alphabet & number for ages. After half the year I think they were up to the letter E. He did learn a few things, like he got better at beginning sounds, but mostly he learned how to act crazy like the other kids. I would advise you to check out how the preschool is run & try to observe a class if he does start. I think you do quite a bit with your kids, so his learning level should be fine. If it is just the separation anxiety remember that he will likely mature quite a bit in a years time. I know some preschools are great, so I don't want to be too discouraging. Just don't feel pressured to do it. You have to make the decision that is right for your family & situation.
