I consider myself very lucky to work only ten minutes from our house. Its taken some time to get to that stage, and it has proven the whole work/life balance thing for me - finally. If possible I recommend it.

I had always assumed I would introduce computers when they started reading and writing but you are giving me some food for thought - thank you.

Occasionally I wonder if there should be an alternative syllabus - activities at home to complement the stages of a child's development and if such a thing exists - anyone know?

Good luck with the typewriter :-)
