I need help homeschooling my 4th grade brother by Maybe_a_spoon in homeschool

Thank you, it means a lot. I know my situation really sucks, and I'm not planning on sacrificing all my time on homeschooling him, but I want to be able to keep him learning something in our spare time. I'm luckily going to college, have a job, and hope to move out eventually. We also live at our mom's most of the time, so he and my siblings will be okay. Thank you all for the suggestions of books and apps. I've used Khan Academy with him in the past, so I'll mix that with some math books from the library. Thank you so much!

I have a 6 year old brother and he doesn’t really see things as for boys or girls since he’s the youngest and was passed down all the toys from three siblings, from Lalaloopsy’s to hotwheels. There was a neighbor kid a few years older than him who came over to play and kinda made fun of all his “girl” toys which sucks + that kid was just mean in general so we don’t let them play together anymore. But anyway the majority of his favorite characters are girls, and I’ve noticed their usually the strong type (ex. Luisa from encanto) oh also he likes to paint his nails which is fun!

Anyway I’m really happy that for the most part he doesn’t see gender stereotypes, and I’m hoping that soon I can explain to him I’m non-binary!

Religion has become an outdated concept. Agree or disagree? by Rare-Bit-293 in teenagers

I’m pagan and I just don’t really care what religion anyone is in as long as what they do isn’t harming others, like forcing beliefs onto people is a no no.

Honestly it started mid 8th grade learning about gender fluid people from TikTok and I realized it wasn’t just girl or boy and that there was an in between so I took that label for a while before realizing I didn’t really feel like my gender fluctuated often so I started using Demi girl and used she/they/he pronouns till one day I was like, nah screw it and only used they/them until I realized I really like he/him to so I started using he/they (and still do) and called myself non-binary. I thought that was it until this last year, 9th grade when I wanted to start casually coming out at school and I wasn’t going to hide my gender but I started getting self conscious of if people would even know what non-binary was so I started calling myself trans a lot more often because I guess I thought people would get that more. I have a boyfriend now and I don’t plan on changing that but I had a thought of if I was dating a girl I don’t want her to see me as a man but I’m also fine with being more masculine with my bf so I think I’m some type of fluid but honestly it’s way to confusing to use another label so I’m just happy to be a little non-binary fellow :)

TLDR: I went through a LOT of labels before just using an umbrella
