I am thinking more and more you may want to start off some of your posts with a title of "Dear Spunky, ...."

Enjoyed the post.

I'll take that under advisement and consider the idea. I don't want to set myself up as an expert on these subjects. I do enjoy getting letters and giving my very Spunky opinion. In fact since I ran that post the other day I've received a few more letters with some great questions. I'll probably run at least one more Dear Spunky. But I'm not sure I'll make it a regular feature.

Thanks for reposting this! I must have missed it the first time around. Sibling strife is the one real problem at our house and I think your plan will be a great one to implement at our house.

It is reasonable to be careful about appearing as a Know-it-all.

But to be fair, you are more knowledgeable about homeschooling than the average blog reader, and you have had a lot of experience.

I think you could do "Dear Spunky" posts which came across as "This is what works for me. What do other readers think?" You could facilitate educational discussions.

Thanks Henry your thoughts are encouraging. The last way I want to appear is as a know it all. I'm still in this journey of homeschooling. I have had some success and made many mistakes. I present my ideas as just that, my ideas of what works for me. But I also know the tendency to just take what someone else does and think it will work perfectly for me. I have fallen prey to that in the past myself.

But if what I share can help others learn and consider new ideas then I'm all for that.

Perhaps "Conflict Resolution" should be considered a regular subject, along with the 3 R's.
