    Have you ever written your own homeschool curriculum for your kids?

    I am thinking about this especially for "T". I am especially interested in this since researching the Charlotte Mason learning style. I just believe that since he is 7yo there are other ways to learn besides structured bookwork.There are so many ways to learn so many things just by learning through doing. IMHO, a child should have the opportunity to just be a child without the pressure. I see him learn so much everyday just through simple imaginative and non-imaginative play. It just warms my heart to watch him learn this way and makes me more and more adamant about this way of learning.I don't want his creativity to be squelched. I want to see him continue to have fun while learning. Anyone else feel the way that I do?
     
    "T" is an excellent reader already and math seems to come naturally for him. I don't want to burden him with structured bookwork though. I want learning to be fun. What fun learning ideas do you have for math at this age?
     
    The ambleside online curriculum looks nice but I would like to change it up with different "living books" that he would be more interested in. Do you and your children have any favorite living books?
     
    Did you follow any book or guide for creating your curriculum? Please share any ideas.
