Re: www.overlandwithkids.com
Thanks for the comments. Will try hard to keep website up to date - promise! Jury's out on education - we're not so concerned about our younger (boy) who'll be 5.5 at time of travel. It's the older (daughter) who'll be 9.5 and then at secondary school age when we return - she'll need some kind of daily education as a filler to keep maths, spelling, reading at the bare minimum up-to-date. Cos we'll be travelling for 12 - 18 months - we think some wider education and routine will also be important for both - we're trying to pre-plan and build education piece into what we do 'educate as we go' - this way won't feel like a chore along the way. Takes some pre-planning but already we are thinking about types of learning, excercises and what the children (and ourselves) will gain - and rather than worrying - its now starting to become fun and exciting and we are looking forward to the challenge as will be 1-2-1 with kids. Take the point though maybe not to take too seriously and just enjoy - hopefully we'll strike a balance.
