When he sees how much there is to do and thinks “I can do this” it makes such a huge difference, but getting there can be really “the only way out is through.” And I am deciding on an amount and then if he gets it done — I will not add more. That is always a tricky thing between us, sigh. I know it is really more productive though. This is what it's like for us after every break and change in routine, but it gets a little better/faster every time. I am glad it's less of a slog now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecka Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 We have got a good compromise, trying something I used to do a while back. I am going through what I want him to read (a short chapter) and writing any tricky words or sentences on an index card. He can practice the index card and I tell him I think he will be fine with everything else. I think it’s short-cutting the feeling of “it’s too hard” and also a reality check for me that I can see how much is on the index card. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
