I really loved this! My preschooler absorbs so much especially as he observes what his older siblings are learning. We don’t make him express what he is learning, but he expresses on his own free will because he is taking in so much more than we even realize.

Thank you for the lovely ideas! Do you ship to Hong Kong?😊

[@SimplyCharlotteMason]

Thank you for reaching out with your question! We ship almost anywhere in the world. To get a shipping estimate, add the items you wish to purchase to your cart, then go to the Cart or Checkout page. On either of those pages, you'll see a list of available shipping options for your order with the cost for each option. Please note that the shipping fee shown does not include any customs fees, taxes, or duties that may be assessed by your country when the package is imported. We are not able to estimate customs fees for an order, nor can we mark an order as a gift to attempt to avoid customs fees. Please note that if an order is refused or returned to us, the shipping fee will not be refunded. We also have e-book options for almost every resource in our store. Many of our international customers prefer to purchase e-books, then take those to a local office supply store to be printed. If you want do that and the office supply store asks for a permission letter to print any of our e-books, we're more than happy to supply one. Just contact us with your order number and let us know which books you need permission to print.

How do you get a 6yr old out in fresh air when you have a large gamily and th others need to be in doing their schoolwork tasks? ( we live in town with an unfenced yard, the younger ones know not to go out of our yard but... still we have had some children go missing in the last 3 years in nearby towns so im a bit apprehnsive of just letting them out to the backyard. ?

[@SimplyCharlotteMason]

Hi, This is an excellent question! Safety above all else, if you are not comfortable sending your student, probably best to go out with the whole family. You could consider having older students take their work outside if they need your assistance with the assignment, having older students work inside independently while you are supervising your younger child, and/or building family time outside into your daily routine.

Ugh I can’t get to this - the older ones and I are in a cycle of discipline over chores.
