Jonathon tends to get a bit poopy when asked to do any type of learning activities that resemble schooling, so to help with the situation I found him someone to be the teacher to and not the student. He is now "tutoring" his second cousin, Mackaylee, who is four.
Today's assignment for Mackaylee was to read her a story, work on her ABC's and walk her to the library. (Not by themselves!)
When I asked him about helping Mackaylee learn her ABC's he rolled his eyes and said "UGH! I will sing that Mackaylee the song about the ABC's!" LOL!
It's a win-win situation for us. Mackaylee didn't have to go to daycare and Jonathon is now in a position of leadership, which in turn gives him something to feel good about.
Sometimes when addressing our kids needs... if going in the front door causes to many issues... try the back door instead!
