Over the past month, I made a huge discovery. They learn best when they are having fun and they are interested! I plan to home in on this more, without allowing them to become lazy, because there will always be times we need to know and learn things that we don't particularly want to! It still doesn't mean the learning of these things needs to be boring. There are ways and means, even if they learn in completely different ways.

Hi Naomi. Sounds like you're doing a great job! We've loved trying out lots of different art over the last month. T's got so much more into it with a bit of persistance on my part and trying out lots of different ideas. I've tried to keep it really free so he can learn to be creative.
