My husband is home every other friday, and my 6 year old son loves doing math with him. I told DH we were working on fractions, so they played with C rods, but doing more advanced fractions than I was doing with DS. I asked them to do a worksheet from Miquon. After a few problems, I told DS "it sounds like your brain is tired" and my husband jumped in with a dismissive "you can still work though". We discussed it, and DH said it was a negative thing to say, and not encouraging to try to push through. I thought it was a statement of fact, neither negative or positive, that could be used to plan rests or increase scaffolding. I feel like I am right, of course, but would like to know if the Hive thinks that mentioning tired brains should be banished from my vocabulary.
Thanks :)
