I have dyslexia and I’m not bothered about people knowing at the end of the day we have our own needs and no one should be embarrassed about that💓
That’s is amazing and so true! Also I’m a small CZcamsr!! Xx
I am also dyslexic at firs I didn’t want people to know now I don’t really mind how knows but I kinda get anoid when people go on about it a lot
Lauren Dunn same but I’m always here and there is nothing to be ashamed about I mean it’s what it is and we can all support each other as their is nothing wrong with being :)
I totally agree I have autism and ADHD and I'm not one bit embarrassed about it.
It’s just Aims so true :)
I went to a private school myself and found the pressure of having to keep up beyond what's expected of you was too much. I then decided to homeschool and because of my personality and way of working it completely changed how I learnt.
I wish I could’ve been homeschooled. secondary school made my mental health so bad.
are you ok🥺
Same
I had to take my blood pressure every morning before I went and if I was too stressed which was most days I had to take medication to bring it down however now that I go to college I don't have to take my medication anymore because my blood pressure is always fine
This I go secondary school byput might aswell be homeschooled because they always exclude me and send me home for my mental health
Same for everyone. Ur not alone. Don’t single urself out.
I even noticed the girls expressing themselves and being so much happier and doing things like cutting there how they would like it and I'm so happy you guys are homeschooling x
It is definitely your decision for your children. I do feel for Prinny that is often left behind, pets are part of your family too xx
I love this choice that you guys have all made as a family and I love how you think about all the reasons and opportunities that you can come acrosssss!!! I can not wait for upcoming vlogs 🥰
I very much agree dogs can get depressed as easily as humans! As long as she’s getting attention tho
she goes back and forth between their family and another family this is similar to children who's parents are divorced.
I wouldn't expose my pet to multiple countries vets n shots. I flew my dog with me only to discover he is more comfortable at home with extended family. And its simply not anyone's business.
Prinny isn't always left home in certain cases it would be unfair to take her to such a hot country and when they are in hotels dogs often aren't allowed. Prinny is with family and their dog so she is perfectly happy and safe
With Esme and her maths, I had the EXACT same problem, I don’t have dislexia but I found that one to one tuition with a maths tutor on my road, it really helped me feel like it’s ok to ask for help, I felt embarrassed to raise my hand and say “I don’t understand” when everyone else understood it so I never bothered asking for help. My personal tutor really helped me and thanks to her I passed my maths at my attempt after my GCSE
When I look back at my high school years all I remember is drama, skiving and just feeling exhausted all the time! If I was given this opportunity I would of snapped it up. Glad to see you really think about your children’s needs 😌💖
I am a homeschooling mummy my eldest is 18 now and thrived and went on to get some great gcses, my youngest has autism and homeschooling has helped her grow I wouldn't change a thing
Ribbon The Sylveon Awwww I love reading comments like this! Xx
That's fantastic well done to you and them I hope it continues to work for you
If she’s struggling with maths as well you should try getting her a test in dyscalculia which is dyslexia but with numbers rather than words
I am dyslexic and I manly struggle with English I’m not bad at maths until it comes to a test and I don’t know why but I always some reason do really bad. At first I didn’t really want anyone to know but I don’t really care now it kinda just means that you need a bit more help in class
Alisha 123 omg thank you! This is exactly my problem and I have had my general doctor say....I’ve never heard of dyslexia with numbers. Your brilliant. Thanks so much!
I have both and get there vy end
I have dyscalculia
My daughter has something called disgraphia she is good at math but struggles big time with reading and writing
I wish that I had been homeschooled as a child, because I was bullied so much during my high school years.... and it got to the point where I just wanted to die and I also used to make myself sick after I ate....and I also used to not allow myself to eat or drink anything that had more than 60 calories in it. But I chose to drop out and then go back and get my GED, and I am really happy that I didn’t give my bullies the satisfaction of ending my life because I knew that they would not feel any remorse. I’m in a much better place in my life now and I’m a stronger person now because of it.
Ashley Bollman I’m so sorry you went through this xx
Sweetheart always remember that You are worth it! Also known as YAWI. I teach special education children in a mainstream public and and I teach this to all of the children. Every day I greet them with YAWI and TOBY( treasure others be yourself). 💖💖💖
i have so much respect for you
I think homeschooling is just amazing. I have 4 children and we homeschool them as well. I think you are doing a great job they are learning so much with traveling.
hey sarah i’m dyslexic and i feel like i was getting on better at work at home then i do in school because i could take my time. If you see this tell esme that that she might think the teachers of the most cleaver people but i no that five at least of my teachers are dyslexic so she will and can do anything g she wants in life xxxx
Sarah, my son has dyslexia.. you can try this to see if it helps her.. get a see through color plastic sheet (variety of colors available usually blue,red and yellow help) if on tablet or computer adjust the color (invert the colors) this may help her.. this stops the letters and numbers from blurring/moving ect that is common with dyslexia.
I use a blue over ley to help me and its brilliant for dyslexia xx
Thank you so much xxx
The Ingham Family hey there called overlays!! You can get them from amazon ! 💜💜
Yes! They are called either reading rulers or coloured overlays. You can get them on amazon fairly cheaply
Yes I have an overlay you can get them any ware in all different sizes wich make it darker or lighter or bolder or bigger and radioed for her to see the numbers
I thrived with home school and finished high school early. Those were the days with no computers and no cell phones. I had to mail in my assignments for grades and I took exams at a teachers house on the weekends. 😂 I didn't enjoy attending school one bit. Kudos to all of you that set a schedule, organize and plan out the year for home school. It takes discipline but is so incredibly rewarding. ❤️🇨🇦
I recently left school to do online school due to having severe anxiety and I feel much more free now and at ease now I have started and I have actually came closer to my family from it
I have homeschooled my 9yo for his whole schooling life due to medical reasons and my 11yo has always been in mainstream schooling because that’s what’s best for him. Every child is different, do what’s best for them and your family 💗
as a dyslexic myself, no one should ever have to hide it away since it's never a bad thing
I have it too
I have it as well
I am dyslexic and I don't let it bother me
Same, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about It can be dis hearting sometimes but don’t let anyone bother you xx
I have dyslexia and dyspraxia I don’t let it stop me
I have followed you from the very start. I am now in my 30s but was diagnosed with dyslexia when i was around 10. My parents also took me privately to be tested. Its definitely frustrating sometimes but with parents like the 2 of you she wont have any problems. Keep up the great work you both do for you family.
Rebecca Salter Ah thank you so much Rebecca xx
Well done Sarah, I'm grateful you told your followers that you are home schooling. My daughter has just started home schooling my eldest grandson who is almost 5. He learns at his own pace and has always asked so many questions, he's asking about other countries and what words are in those languages. He's building his confidence and hopefully he can go to a forest school near us a couple of times a week when the lockdown/pandemic is better. Good luck and continued success with the girls schooling. They can learn so much while travelling. Best wishes to you all, Linda xx
Good on you for standing your ground and doing what’s right for your children. I’ve never been home schooled but a lot of my friends who have young children and older children are still home schooling and have said it’s the best decision they ever made to continue doing so. I always notice they thrive better away from school and being in their own home. I worked with children for 6 years and a lot of them were homeschooled and I noticed a huge difference in their behaviour and personality. X
I seen a difference of how confident Isabelle is she is way more independent to! I think she shouldn’t have to worry about what other people at her school say but I went through something similar this year and I think the best decision you have made for your children! Well Done!!
I firmly believe that homeschooling can provide a much deeper learning experience. With all the experiences you all have with visiting and learning about different cultures, you are definitely expanding your knowledge. Anyone that has a problem with it is most likely jealous or has nothing better to do than knit-pic everything. They probably live miserable lives lol. You all do what YOU think is best for your family. Haters are always gonna hate.
Tonya Workman So so true. Thank you for your support Tonya 💖
Hey I’m 52 years old and found out I have dyslexia 5 years ago! Now everything I struggled through made since. Knowing now while she is young will make a difference when she is older.
What’s the situation with Isla? I always thought she loved going to school? X
isla??
do u mean esme?
Hi, my 12 year old has dyslexia. We were told in primary school when he was in year 5 that it looked like he had it. He has always struggled with maths, and his reading isn't at the level he should be, he did finally get diagnosed with Dyslexia in year 6. But the school didn't really do anything to help him. He is now in year 8 and getting on alot better, even though he missed half of year 7. But things you were saying with esme as in easily gets distracted etc, My boy was the same, short concentration span. Always very anxious that he wouldnt be able to do the work before it was assigned. But like you say its nothing to be embarrassed about. My son is a perfectly great boy, who just needs a little more help to understand certain subjects. I keep hearing he is behind for his year, but i think he is meant to be where he is meant to be. He will do it at his own pace and learn at his own rate. X
Schools have targets and stuff that put more pressure on children that even if u get to them it’s not good enough so I don’t think there is any need to worry I hope your son does well and I’m sure he will
wishing your son all the best, i'm sure he's doing really well and will succeed, lots of love !
@@aigoojen5298 thanks so much x
I was just like esmé when I was her age I'm still like it now at 18. I wish I could have been homeschooled and I begged for years but my mum never let me. Your girls are so lucky they get to experience home school because I feel like it really helps some children to be who they are without any thoughts about other people's opinions or anything. They are all so clever kids and I think they will do amazing with homeschool. Also dyslexia is not something to be embaresed about loads of really successful people have dyslexia.
I have autism, seizures , ms, many things and I am not ashamed and I’m not embarrassed about having one of the worst cases of dyslexia. I’m 29 now, and I’ve lived with it all my life. I’m so glad your trying to get her diagnosed with it. I wasn’t until I was 25. I ended up dropping out of school, because no teachers ever cared about teaching us kids in special ed.
I have dyslexia and you talking about not being ashamed about it really hit home because for years I hid my overlay just got on with struggling to read something on the board because I was embarrassed of what people thought so thank you Sarah xx
At the end of the day you know what is best for your girls if they are happy to be homeschooled then that's what is more important you are brilliant parents your children are always happy xxx
I chose to do my RE, English Literature and IT GCSEs early and I do not regret that decision at all! Good look Izzy, whatever you decide, you will smash it! 💖💖
If I had the opportunity to do this with my 3 children I 100% would!! If anything, it’s better for them. They’re learning so much more from travelling than in the classroom! History, English, maths, science all rolled into one amongst other things!! You can see how happy they all are too which is equally as important for their mental well being!! Keep being you guys! Love you all ❤️ xxxx
I believe we are privileged to be a part of your lives. I’m glad the girls are home schooled because they are getting so many more adventures! Enjoy xxx
Sarah, I think it’s great that you put the notes and facts on your phone aside and just spoke off the top of your head about homeschooling. Your thoughts came across really well and it’s so evident that you’re making decisions that are best for your children. It all sounds amazing. I love the sound of the seaside learning too! I feel like you will all remember that kind of learning for a long time. So much fun. Take care
Trena White Thank you so much Trena 💖
OMG I can’t believe Esme is now in year 7 she’s grown up so fast
I was personally diagnosed with dyslexia around the age that Esme is now. There is nothing to be scared a about. She has a amazing personailty and has a bright future ahead. Dont worry where anyone else is at. Everyone learns at a different pace. Hope you see this
My husband was diagnosed with dyslexia in grade three he was already behind a year , with a proper diagnosis now he is a computer programmer and amazing at math and science !!! If it was it for him repeating grade 3 he would of never got the help he needed !! So proud of you for doing this for Esmee !!!
When you talked about how Esme may possibly have Dyslexia and how you wanted to explore having her tested for this made me also think that getting her tested for ADHD may also be good too. I was diagnosed with it as an adult and always thought it could never be right but in the past year ive started learning a lot about how different it is in girls then boys and how i was diagnosed. Some of those things sound like what you were describing Esme as in the vlog
I was homeschooled and did so much better than I would have been if I was still in school.
Sarah and Chris you are doing the right thing for your girls x
The sand sculptures were amazing and so interesting x
Roz's View Thank you for your lovely comment Roz xx
@@TheInghamFamily You're welcome 😊 xxx
To home school your children is such an amazing thing to do . They are very lucky to have such supportive parents that can take them on such amazing adventures and I’m sure they will learn so much more . They are such lovely children you are not doing anything wrong , they are a credit to you both . Cherish every second they will be grown up and flown the nest before you know it 😘❤️
Your children are having the best childhood and you are doing such a wonderful thing by home schooling them, its a big commitment for you as well as the girls and it’s going to make them so much happier, full admiration for you!x
We are home schooling 3 all in high school and love it . No more bullying . No regrets here and have one graduated .love it
Ginger Ann School can be great for some, but really damaging for others. It’s such a shame that bullying or peer pressure can change a person’s personality or make a child feel like a failure. I know my girls and they’re so much more relaxed and happier now they’re learning at home xx
It’s a massive world and we all make the world go round it’s not for all children and it’s something we have considered for our son I. See. Kids deteriorate in their personalities and try to be like everyone else and they only need half the time needed with a one to one is more beneficial the government need to realise classes to big half time .Do whatever you feel best and it takes a lot to think outside the circle . Yes I’m
Going to check resources online to help home education Thankyou for sharing it’s not about the money you have thought about your children’s feelings everyday how happy they can be lockdown we learnt is life is too short . 🌈
i have dyslexia to . I only found this out when i did my foundation degree. It was only when the tutor saw i was struggling that i was tested. I was in my 40s.
But i want to say i really admire how much you do for your girls and jace. dont listen to the negative comments and just continue the way you are
My daughter homeschools. I absolutely agree with you Sarah!! I think what you and Chris are doing is so amazing! These girls are going to grow up well rounded, worldly intelligent little women❤️
I have been homeschooled for 2 years now because of me being bullied in every school I went to even punch at one so I ask my mum and dad and my dad was up for it and my mum was extremely like you at the start she through I wouldn’t do the work or other things like that, but I have proved her wrong I’m now in year 9 and about to choose my GCSE’s. i think me and Isabell (sorry if I spelt it wrong have dyslexia ) are the same in the way were if we feel like no one is judging you or drama and stuff like that we do but and feel more happiness. I hope you love homeschooling xx
I’ve just finished year 11 and I just thought I’d tell you a bit about GCSEs content to help you with decisions for Isabelle’s GCSEs. I would recommend doing the English literature gcse in year 11 not year 10 just because of how much you have to learn. Depending on the different exams boards you study different texts but I had to do 3 books and a poem anthology which even in 2 years was a lot to memorise and learn- there is a lot of content for each. English Language has a lot less to memorise but it is hard to grasp and having more time may help as she can do more practice papers etc. I feel like Isabelle would end up with better grades and get what she deserves doing it in year 11. Maths is probably the one she’d most likely be able to do in year 10 but its still quite difficult and I still struggled with doing it in 2 years but with your one on one help it might be easier. I hope this helped as I want Isabelle to do as well as she is capable of doing xx
Molly Jayne Hargraves Thank you so much for your help. Xx
The Ingham Family Awh no worries your welcome 🤍
@@mollyjaynehargraves5258 me too I finshed year 11 I failed all my exams.
I just finished year 11 too
That is not good that you failed all your exams
I'm 57 and have dyslexia, no shame! Congrats on this journey of home schooling, I did when our children were younger, God bless, who cares what others think! You've always done what's right for the children! You do you! I'm just happy that I get to travel with you from my sofa!! 💜
Our eldest daughter was home schooled through years 10 and 11 and she did the IGCSEs online then sat the exams as an external candidate at her former school. They worked really well with an online tutor for support and emailing assignments for marking and feedback. She did really well! Loving your vlogs and look forward to them every day 😊 xx
I admire you for choosing to home school. You have to do what's best for you and your children. I found it so hard during lockdown so respect to you.
I think your kids are getting the greatest of educations by your travel. I’m an older adult and have learned so much from watching your travels. Even when you stay home I learn when y’all go places. They are some very blessed and smart young ladies!
Whip Five Thank you for such a lovely comment xx
So much love and hugs to you all, everyone’s entitled to what suits their families. If homeschooling works best for the girls then keep on doing it, if attending school works best for the girls then go for it. It’s your own choice and no one can tell you what to do, you’re entitled to say what you like as well during your videos. It’s your CZcams channel, not anyone else’s...
I think you're an amazing mum Sarah. I was bullied my entire high school years and so never met my potential. I then went off the rails from 5th Yr onwards and never completed a college course. It really affected me. I also had an awful home life and lost a friend in 5th Yr too. All in all no two people are the same and any decision you make for your child's future for the positive can never be a wrong thing! Xx
I am maths dyslexic and I'm 61..never let anyone tell you, you cant....much love..x
do you have any advice for teens?
Kudos to you for making the decision!
If you have the ability to do it then why not. Life is short. You’re lucky you can work from home/ anywhere so you can give the girls that time to help them progress with their learning.
And in having the financial status you do, you’re able to travel the world and make learning fun & more widespread than any school can provide.
Imagine how much £ you’re going to save not paying private school fees per term 2!
When lockdown began I was so into home schooling for my now 6 year old daughter Nevaya.... but as time went on it became harder to give it that focus & time.
I also have Amelia who is 3 & Safiya who will be 2 in December. They wanted & needed my attention and home schooling wasn’t always easy. On top of that it was hard for Nevaya to concentrate whilst they were playing. Put on top the heatwave and swimming pool in the garden she just wanted to play so we did much less in terms of the written side of things as time went on.
For you to make such a commitment when you have 4 children, well hats off to you both!
Enjoy your adventures & live everyday to the max!❤️x
This year has been a real eye opener it has given us more time to stop and see what is really important in life and that is family and you have to do what is best for your family and if that is home schooling then that's what you have to do you are in a great position to do so so I wish you all the luck in the world xx
Very good explanation of home schooling, Sarah - you all seem to have thoroughly researched this way of learning, and I must say there are so many resources available these days to help children get a great education wherever they may be in the world. All the best to your family!
Carol Austin Thank you so much Carol. We appreciate your support xx
All I can say is go for it guys give your kids and you two all the memories you can. And enjoy every single minute of the time you get to spend together live for the moment guys and do what is right for you no one else you x
We’ve been home ed for over 5 years.
There’s 14-16 college courses in some areas. My older 2 kids have attended Sheena Simon in Manchester but there’s also Myerscough in Preston (sure there will be others) or as Sarah says you can pay private and stagger the exams then
As someone who is born a month after isabelle and attends private school I was
at first concerned that you were giving up an amazing education JUST for travel purposes. But I listened to what you said and I agree!! I’m in yr 10 and it sucks the life out of me but I put up with it for ‘my future’. So I think it’s really positive that you are doing what is best for your family at the moment and will continue to listen to the girls on their thoughts in the long run too. I am also completely relieved that you haven’t ‘given up’ on education and are encouraging them to take important exams!
Im 23, I was diagnosed with severe dyslexia at Drama School when my School and Sixth Form just told me I was lazy. I got good GCSEs and A Levels and now work in the west end! Im proud to be dyslexic xx
⚠️ Sarah, after getting esme checked for dyslexia it might be worth getting her checked for visual stress (there is a more formal word but I can remember it 😳) basically this is very similar to dyslexia but might not be picked up in the tests. Most opticians offer these test and the are rather inexpensive next to dyslexia test and will result in her getting a coloured screen to go over anything that she needs to read, for example my colour is aqua this has helped me massively in school and boosted my grades meaning I didn’t get under a 6 in any of my subjects I’m name GCSEs this summer !! This really helped boost my confidence especially after I got a dyslexia test and it came back saying I only had it very mildly making me think that I wasn’t working hard enough and all this time it was just me being stupid!! I hope this helps love you all !! 💕💕
Sophie Levett she does have dyslexia💚
Iona Morrison they don’t know yet because she hasn’t been tested
Sophie Levett she was tested when she was is year 3 (:
Irlens syndrome
Em Howcroft thank you !!
Sarah honestly you are one of the best mothers I have ever seen. You always do what’s best for your children no matter what. Your girls are amazing and so smart and bright, you should be so proud. Honestly I’ve heard homeschoolers are always ahead of the game and finish and excel past others who would be in a class with 20 or more other children. I’m rooting for you. Plus this is so fun they get to experience the world and learn more while doing schooling. Love this. Keep doing amazing things inghams
I hope you know what incredible parents you are Sarah and Chris. You provide the best life for your children. Don’t worry about silly, ignorant people! They are just jealous of the parents you are and the life you and your children have. If only everyone was like you guys and had your kindness!! Hope you are having an amazing trip, you deserve it!! ❤️❤️❤️
Estelle Fleming Such a lovely comment. Thank you so much 💖
Good for you Sarah! I am dyslexic and I didn’t find out till I was older and I don’t hide it, and it’s nothing to be ashamed!
If the girls are happy and learning what’s the issue anyway look at CZcamsrs our tribe of many their kids are home schooled and very intelligent kids and happy . What a fantastic opportunity to travel and learn x
I wish i was being home schooled right now, im in the same year as isabelle at the moment, but i really do hope the best for her and all the girls. You are an amazing family and i was always love you guys xx Love you isabelle, i will always have your back. I would love to get to know you personally, all the stuff i know about you now is truly amazing and i would love to know what i dont know!!! What ever anyone says about you izzy, and what anyone thinks about you, you are a beautiful girl and have an amazing personality!! love you always xx
what year? 9 or 10?

Fantastic flog and Thankyou for talking about your sound choices for your family. I admire the way you look at issues head on and decide what is the best fit for your own family and their needs
must be grt to see your children happy and becoming comfortable in who they are You are wonderful caring parents xxxx
Liz Hart Thank you so much Liz. Your support means a lot xx
Well said Sarah the total relief now from Isabelle and Esme that they can lean from home and to be happy, my friend sadly passed away which puts things into perspective to enjoy life and do what’s best for you family ❤️
I think homeschooling is totally a choice a family should make themselves! You’re making such a good decision for yourselves, hope it goes well :)
I had my first day of school yesterday:( since six months I'm in the same school but it's very different. I have always hated school but I have hated highschool more than primary. Yesterday I came home crying. I never want to go to school again xxx
YOUR family, YOUR choices to do what’s best for YOUR family. The things they’re learning just by traveling through different countries and all the new experiences can never be replaced by any amount of schooling. School is NOT a one size fits all. I’m glad you’ve done what’s best for your family and hope you continue making so many wonderful memories❤️
Hi Sarah, I'm currently home schooling my 15 Yr old daughter and she is so much happier being at home learning than being in school,what you do with your children's education is totally up to you and them good luck in your journey and me and my girls love watching you guys every night xx
Just be yourself. Peoples opinions are so disrespectful since social media became a lifetime. Just be your own family. Don't let social media take away your joy.
Tammy Thank you Tammy 💖
For my son I could never home school, during lockdown he did not want to know about any school work. So mainstream school is definitely better for him, BUT I would NEVER judge anyone who think differently or do what Is best for their child/children. You do what you think or know is right by your own children 1000%. As you said what works for one don’t always work for others. I wish you all the luck and happiness on the homeschooling journey 💗
Thank you and well done for finally being real and genuine, I have missed that. We are from Bradford and want to support you but you just need to be true. Enjoy xx
My daughter was diagnosed with a learning disability 2 school years ago. So last year I decided to allow her to do online school so that I could help her and make sure that she was able to get all the help that she needed. It turned out to be the best year that she has had academically since she was in 2nd grade! So glad I made the decision and my daughter has been thriving every since!
I'm dyslexic and wasn't tested for it or diagnosed until i was an adult. its best to get tested when you are younger then you can get the help an support that's needed put in place. loved seeing the sand sculptures was amazing. cant wait to see what you do next xxxx
I was homeschooled from year 8 and went into college to do my gcses. I'm now going into my second year of university doing a degree in a subject I love. In my experience homeschooling was the best thing for me and it's never stopped me from progressing into higher education. I'm sure the girls will do great things in the future!
That is great
Charlotte Handley Amazing!! Love hearing things like this xx
I have dyslexia and while it can make learning hard it also allows you to see the world differently. Having dyslexia has actually benefitted me as it makes me work harder than I ever thought I thought I could, it has push me to adapt my life and honestly I couldn't be more thankful. I hope Esme sees this as a new experience and a bright new way to see the world.
Absolutely loved watching this vlog tonight it was so nice of you guys to share this with us when you don’t have to! But I honestly think it’s an amazing idea home schooling the children looking forward to seeing it in more vlogs to come 😊 you and Chris are fab parents ❤️ xx
Linzi Walker Thank you so so luck for your support xx

I have dyslexia and irlens syndrome and before I always felt confused on how people didn’t struggle with reading or processing things or how their speech could come out perfectly- like it was my fault - my English teacher suggested I got tested as it would benefit me for my GCSE’s for I was in year 10 at the time and once I got diagnosed small things like jumbing up my words in a sentence didn’t matter anymore because I knew it wasn’t my fault and it sounds small but it made me more content with myself yet it’s frustrating sometimes I would recommend getting tested
I always wondered how people could read well/fast and process stuff as well as I really struggle it takes me ages to read 2 pages of a book and it makes me feel like my brain will explode.
Just wondering what is the difference between irlen syndrome and dyslexia coz I have irlen syndrome
Gabi Stevens if I’m being honest I don’t really know but irlens is to do with perceptual processing and how our Brian’s can’t process things at the speeds of others or at all like speech or thinking and we struggle with putting our thoughts into words and it making sense aswell as forgetting words frequently or constantly losing our chain of thought and dyslexia is to do with reading where you struggle with understanding what you’ve read as if you haven’t even seen the words before aswell as even reading the word sometimes your brain stuggles to make sense of a word at it takes you a lot longer - some of this may be wrong as I know dyslexia also effects your language skills which may be why you struggle at learning a knee language or something- they are very similar and both learning disorders but irlens is more to do with the brain
Stay strong , your amazing , I really hope your okay❤️🥺💞xxx

Really enjoyed listening to you chat about home schooling!! Good on you with going with what is right for your family and your girls. As well as the work they’re clearly doing they are also having so many life experiences and what could be better than that. There’s much more to education than sitting at a desk. Keep doing you, and to hell with anyone else’s opinion about it xxx
I think you are providing your children with an amazing life, lots of holidays and fun times together.
I think you are doing the right thing by home schooling, my daughter hated school and my so is now suffering from anxiety at high school so I totally agree with what you are doing. Go for it.
Love watching your daily vlogs.
Fab family ❤️
I have been homeschooled for 4 years it is the best thing my parents did
I have Dyslexia, and Esma hasn’t got nothing to worry about ❤️
i am dyslexic I agree even if she has it it won’t change anything
I think it looks like your children are getting to live a lovely life....if I could do it with mine then I 100% would! Keep doing what’s best for you and your family! That’s all the matters x
Loving watching these videos at the minute, feel like I’m getting my travel fix from watching you all! Would love to do a tour of Europe now too. I visited Portugal a few years ago with my family and visited SandCity so it’s bringing back lots of memories, I’m sure they change the theme each year it was Pop Stars when we went. Hope the house move is going well x
1. Great wall of China 2. Michael Jackson 3. The Pope
Love you guys so much xx
And I also support you so much about home schooling the girls ots what you want to do and dont let anyone change that xx I'm not an adult but I found the older one easier than the younger one
Honestly this is amazing you have made this decision as I’m 16 and I have been homeschooled for a college course and I can say it’s the best decision me and my family made for me !! I have gained so much confidence not going into a public college and it lets you be who are you are and want to be xxx
Yes!! Love this so much.we’ve home educated for 6 years nearly 7 and my kids get to just BE.Would love to travel more in the future, that’s why I like watching these travel vlogs, to see where we’d like to go.
I have dyslexia and it wasn’t until university that I was tested! So props to you as a mom for getter her tested! I felt stupid for so long and it turns out I just needed to learn how my Brian processes information x
I feel like Isabelle would like doing media studies for one of her gcse options I took it in yr 10 and I am now doing it at a level looking onto doing media releated job later on
I took media and I’m in yr 10 what’s it like? X
Also what I ment by have I got virtual stress test is it could mean that you need coloured glasses and last year I had a pinke orange and this year it’s more of an orange but also while you wait for them to come or if you would prefer you could just have coloured over lays to the couloir if you needed one xxx
I’m glad you’re doing this
If I had it to go over again, I’d totally rethink sending my daughter to public school
I didn’t see it then but I see it now that homeschool has so many benefits
I have dyslexia and I’m still embarrassed to ask for help and I’m 27. You doing a great job and the children are seeing and exploring the world as well in your adventure.
I have dyslexia and I could not consontrate in my primary but when I found out I had dyslexia I had a visual stress test and I have been able to consontrate ever since xx
I don’t think that Esmé will be dyslexic as she is doing so brilliantly with her reading but maybe she could be dyscalculic if she struggles with her maths! 💕X💕
She might be they have said for years that she hates reading and would do anything to get out of it and yes she is loving the twilight books but she loves the films so has an interest in them also unless she is reading out loud no one knows what she is taking in . Like Sarah said there is no shame in it but for her sake it's best to know either way then they can deal with it accordingly . People are so quick to pull them to pieces but It's a shame more parents out there aren't taking such an interest in their children's learning and I'd there may be issues , trying to find a way to fix them
During the summer I had a hard time persuading my parents to let me homeschool. I eventually won the battle (yay). We had many reasons for this being my mental health, but also because my mum is terminally ill. When I told my mum you were homeschooling your children she felt reassured that she wasn’t the only parent who chose to homeschool. I am in the same year as Isabel and knowing that there is another girl the same age who is homeschooling. It is also reassuring that I am not the only one who didn’t feel like themselves in school. I love watching your videos, so thank you. Take care and stay safe x
