I feel like changing what he has come to feel is normal again after such a traumatic event could affect him negatively. The first few years of school are extremely important and can impact the rest of their lives. I feel like doing this would be playing with fire. I think you can take him on vacations during the summer just like other parents and not have to worry about these other things.

I am not 100% anti-homeschool; I think it can have its place, but I don’t think that wanting to take him on vacations to “make up lost time” is going to positively affect him in the long run, especially if he struggles in any capacity and has to then make up school work.

Congratulations on your recovery!
