rugged parenthood: Will to learn
http://atypicalparenthood.blogspot.com/2012/06/will-to-learn.html
Saturday, June 9, 2012. When my son saw me leafing through a newly bought workbook, he sat beside me on the bed and looked at the picture of the pig on a number recognition and counting activity. He said, "a pencil." What he meant. Was "I want a pencil." During our tutorial sessions, I sometimes purposely neglect to provide him with writing or coloring tools after handing him a worksheet to encourage him to notice what is missing and make the appropriate requests. What do you want? Stay Quirky, My Friends.

rugged parenthood: Drawing a cat
http://atypicalparenthood.blogspot.com/2012/05/drawing-cat.html
Sunday, May 27, 2012. When I started homeschooling my son in December last year, I had the impression that he didn't know how to draw anything all by himself. I had not seen him draw anything independently, although I noticed that he loved connecting dots and tracing dotted lines. He appeared to abhor coloring, and I devoted extra time to train him to tolerate, if not like, coloring pictures. I know that I. This week, I taught my son how to draw a cat's head. The model, drawn step by step:. Third attempt...

rugged parenthood: Crazy language
http://atypicalparenthood.blogspot.com/2012/06/crazy-language.html
Friday, June 15, 2012. Sometimes my son prefers to watch a DVD in the MacBook. There are times when the player stops and displays a message that it is skipping some damaged area of the DVD. This used to cause him to whine, which often progressed to a full blown tantrum. He hated the interruption and he needed to express his frustration, but I suspected that his unacceptable behavior might also be his way of asking for help. That I must refrain from giving him attention when he is misbehaving. When he nee...

http://atypicalparenthood.blogspot.com/2012/06/gripping-activity.html
Tuesday, June 19, 2012. I bought some of these containers for use in activities that aim to strengthen my son's pincer grip.

Woe-hope! Labels: fine motor skills. June 24, 2012 at 9:52 AM. I just love how you work with your son. If at first you dont succeed, try, try again, right? June 26, 2012 at 9:12 PM.
