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💓

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 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

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

[@Alisha-es2gl]

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

[@laurendunn3077]

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

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.

[@tonyaworkman1633]

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.

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.

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

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. ❤️🇨🇦

It is your choice as you guys are the parents and you know your children best. As someone who has watched since the beginning, I can see a change in the girls and can see they are so much more open and happy which as a fan it makes me happy. My sister, mum and nan are all dyslexic and my mum paid for my sister to be tested privately and it helped her massively and its never held her back and I would suggest that this is better than having it tested normally as that is a slow ans long process. If you are looking further for home schooling mums then this gathered nest/ Angela Braniff home schools 5 of her children and they year round home schoolers and have educated me massively xxx

My sister who has dyslexic also has dyspraxia and she is studying special educational needs at university and she said they often come together or all three including dyscalculia so it is worth testing for all three.

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

[@G6PBS]

Both my children were home schooled and they are fantastic. Now obviously I'm biased but the biggest thing that stands out with homeschooled kids is their ability to talk to adults normally. Most school kids try to avoid talking to adults and when they do it mostly whilst looking at the ground and mumbling monosyllabic words as quick as possible. Your girls will thank you for this in the future as mine do now. Daughter now 28, pensions adviser. Went to school for one year at primary then no more. Son now 26, musician and specialist steels welder. Never went to school. If you come back to the UK then EO (Education Otherwise) is a great help with home schooling groups.

[@mollyjaynehargraves5258]

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

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

[@asantidas9045]

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

[@elliephelan8306]

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

[@MszzDee]

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 now 26, I got diagnosed with dyslexia whilst at university when I was 22. Nothing to be ashamed about, it just meant that I got the help I needed finally

[@LoretteHughes]

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

[@terraklein8974]

I went to public school. But I will just say that everyone homeschooled person I’ve met just seems to know so much more! Where as like I feel I was basically taught facts to memorize. Every homeschooler I’ve met like really knows a lot about so many topics.

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.

[@lily_the_tzuadventures5359]

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!! 💜

[@michellew3652]

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

[@lindawalker5675]

I remember the year after I graduated, I went to Washington D.C here in the states. I found it so interesting and wished I had been able to go there earlier before I started learning about the country in school. I would have been so much more interested in history. I remember taking my daughter to Disney World and going to EPCOT. My daughter learned so much about other countries and space and dinosaurs and many other things. You learn so much traveling. It's always an education to learn about other places and people. Lots of museums to visit. And lots of fun too. I remember Isla being so interested in 9/11 because she had been to NYC. Keep traveling and keep learning.

[@TheInghamFamily]

Linda Walker Ah yeah, I remember that! Travelling definitely sparks an interest in so many things x

[@sophielouisa]

⚠️ 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 !! 💕💕

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

[@charlottehandley9718]

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!

[@GracieOlivia]

That is great

[@TheInghamFamily]

I know this is an old vlog, I have dyslexia told I would never get any GCSES or A levels here I am two distinction stars in my first year of BTEC off to University in september, dyslexia is a condition that only makes you work harder, You got this Esme, keep enjoying life girls and Jace, Sarah and Chris you are fabulous parents to all 4 children and I continue to watch your vlogs every single day and let me tell you its the highlight of my evening seeing you all so happy, keep smiling guys xxxx

[@Torchyc]

dyslexia does not stop you it just may slow you down a bit , i was 20 when i found out i had it ... i now have a law degree and in the process of my masters.

[@pipthomas4928]

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 wish there was a Twilight one" - Esmé Alexa Ingham 2020 🤣

[@lannypops12]

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

[@sonyaeames7047]

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💕

[@rebeccacrisp888]

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

[@sachahowgate]

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!

[@chloel8444]

I love the way your family is so open. Also a hater is always going to find a way to hate it's stupid it isn't right and that is the worst thing about KZbin. Love you guys

[@carolynsanders7480]

Sarah can I just say this is probably the best decision you will make. I have home schooled for a while now, I home schooled all three of my children and it’s the best decision I have ever made. They all attended school at some point and I regret that they did. All my children have thrived at home schooling, including the ones that have been behind and within a few weeks they have learnt more then they ever did at school. They have not missed out on any education and two out of the three now attend college, one is still to young. Your children are still being educated you are still providing all their needs to them so I wouldn’t worry. Well done for making the right decision for your family I know it worked great for us x

[@purplemonster259]

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

[@CharlotteIvy]

Dyslexia is nothing to be embarrassed about I’m nearly 22 & have struggled with it since I was 8! But a little tip to help with her concentration as I struggle so much with this at university is I sit & play with a fidget spinner or some blue tack it keeps my brain ticking but stops me fidgeting & getting distracted! I’m not sure if she struggles with visual stress too but tinted coloured paper helps makes reading that bit easier xx

[@TheInghamFamily]

Charlotte Ivy Funny you say that as Esmé LOVE messing with blue tack xx

[@riyaanthony386]

No hate but while you think homeschooling is the best decision for you guys right now it’s not- your children will grow up to be socially awkward especially the younger two because if you shelter them away from all hate they won’t know how to get stronger and believe in themselves to not let it get to them. High school is such crucial years and everyone faces battles in it but what you do learn is a lot about yourself and who you are as a person. Shielding them away at home won’t build that character because it will create a fake reality that life is perfect. Also while the girls get a long amazing it’s unhealthy that they won’t be able to spend time apart from eachother and become their own individuals instead of a collective group. No hate obviously your decision just thought I should mention these points so you can consider xx

[@rhiannereessims1796]

Not every child needs to hear Nash things to become stronger , in some kids it breaks them down and they have there dance lessons so they will still be seeing people and have friends

[@libbybroadhurst4245]

Sarah explained in another comment that that the girls will still be signed up to dance when they are home and will keep in contact with friends. They will receive enough social interaction x

[@jennarevelle7405]

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❤️

[@alexiaroberts6398]

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

[@Graces_life]

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.

[@mattstevens4342]

Just wondering what is the difference between irlen syndrome and dyslexia coz I have irlen syndrome

[@alexiaroberts6398]

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

[@AlexGarrickActress]

I agree, I have dyslexia and dyspraxia. my teacher pretty much bullied me and called me lazy at school, until I was actually tested and proved my teacher wrong. i got help in high school and now have a degree and more confidence in myself. it is Nothing to be a shamed of, in fact i see it as a gift, there are more dyslexics within the creative industries than there those without it.
