First Post
I’m Demian, “DreamSinger“, singer/songwriter, author and activist.
Welcome to my new blog, “Inclusive Home School”!
Actually, I’m steering away from “school” as such, and leaning more towards a “learning centered home”.
Homeschooling is such a major part of my life and I am constantly searching out materials and resources that I realized it would be a waste not to share it with others.
Homeschooling isn’t just about academics though. When you do it you start to see just how much a part of life it is…that it is life and not just a preparation for it.
It’s a learning process for me, and I learn best when I write things down - it helps me to see my thoughts.
My daughter, Brhiannon, on the other hand, has a very different learning style. A pen in her hand doesn’t work as well…unless she’s drawing with it. Clay works wonders. Doodling - whether it’s topic related or not - helps her to anchor what she’s hearing. We are a very creative family.

Oh, and daydreaming is an important part of our “curriculum”. Unfortunately, we don’t do it as often as we should.
I’ll have to make a note to be more mindful of that in the coming week. 
Please read our “About Us” page, and again, welcome to this brand new blog. I won’t get my daughter until Tuesday late afternoon, so her first post won’t be for a couple days…that’s another issue. I’m a single mom, and she’s for all practical purposes, an only child so there will be a lot to explore in that area.
It’s already proven to be an interesting journey. So glad you can join us!
