I don’t have specific exercises to share as it’s been so long for me and I’m not a medical professional. Seeing a physical therapist who specializes in Diastasis is the best option- even if you can only go once or twice to get exercises you can work through in your own. I understand this isn’t an option for everyone though. A couple resources that I’ve found sense that could be helpful are MUTU system and MommaStrong. Both of these programs are led by Physical Therapists who specialize in postpartum and pelvic floor physical therapy and address Diastasis in their programs.

I see that you read to your kids individually. I feel like I should start doing that with my almost 13. Can you describe what a typical day of reading looks like in your family? I also want to start implementing morning time where I will read aloud from our guest hollow geography curriculum. I’m currently just reading aloud at night to my two youngest with my oldest often joining.
@TicketToLearningАй бұрын
It has evolved quite a bit over the years, but currently these are the reading times I have with my kids: Sometimes I start off by reading with my littlest (if she’s really into her play we will save that for later in the day). Then we have our unit study. That’s where I do a family read-aloud. After lunch and some time outside, I read with my middle child, then my oldest. If I haven’t read with my littlest yet, I do that next. We also will read history or science together. I let the boys take turns reading with expression. The key is to be interesting and clear enough for everyone to follow along. It’s actually fun and a great way for me to keep a pulse on their fluency with harder words as the curriculum progresses. That’s all of the reading I do with them. They sometimes have assigned reading and they always have 30 minutes of free reading every day. I hope that’s helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy reading! 📖 📚 😃

We only ended up using it for a few of the literature selections. The writing actually was ok for us. I don’t mind highly modifying and tailoring writing assignments. I know I’m a minority, but it was my favorite part. Many of the books just weren’t working well for us. The main struggles for us were the very wordy instructions and lessons and there wasn’t enough time on one topic for my son to really grasp it. I could see how it would be a good fit for a lot of kids - especially those who pick things up easily by reading instructions, it just wasn’t a great fit for us.

Have you read “Jim the Boy” by Tony Earley? There are two books with the same title, so you want to make sure it’s the one by Earley. It’s set in the same place and time as “Light Comes to Shadow Mountain,” and there’s a beautiful/haunting scene when the power comes on for the first time. It’s a really good book! I’m sure you don’t want to add another piece to your unit study 🤣🤣🤣 but you might enjoy reading the book just on your own while you’re immersed in this world. There’s also a wonderful album of bluegrass ballads by Paul Burch called “Last of My Kind” that was inspired by Earley’s book. Cheers!
