He tends to cry easily and is overly sensitive. They've been taking it easy on them these first few days so I'm hoping next week doesn't end up the same way for him. I wish I knew what to tell you.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688947979108221151.post-90192085045097240722010-09-10T20:24:12.183-04:002010-09-10T20:24:12.183-04:00It is very difficult to know what to tell a child!...It is very difficult to know what to tell a child! I always encouraged my kids to do their best and try hard in school, but neither of them was much of a 'try-er' <br />My youngest just graduated from high school in June and a couple weeks ago when we were talking about college, he told me "I just hate school soooooo much Mom and I'm afraid that if I got to college and it's like my senior year was, I will just hate it and be miserable again!" WHAT???? I knew he wasn't crazy about school, but didn't know he hated it this much. He won't be going on to college yet, he just doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. <br />I can totally empathize with you on this. I often wonder what I did wrong that neither of my kids were as motivated as I would like them to be.<br />Just want you to know you aren't out there alone, there are a lot of us wondering what we can do to make things better.

I wanted him to be proud of what he put down on the page. Once he stopped thinking about the quantity and quality, I think he felt better about the amount he accomplished each day. I run the publishing center at the 3 through 5 school. There would be kids who would write pages and pages and pages. Often all those pages didn't make much sense. I would come across shorter stories full of imagination and energy and I would show them to my son, just to show him that great writing can happen in shorter pieces. Hope any of this helps :)septembermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570525910483384484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688947979108221151.post-45157644685670139312010-09-10T11:20:46.548-04:002010-09-10T11:20:46.548-04:00awwwwwwwww this made me cry:( just keep supportin...awwwwwwwww this made me cry:( just keep supporting and loving him the way you are, you will help him get through it.

He would almost make himself sick trying to be the first one done with any task. I don't know why he saw assignments/journal writing as a contest either. He would struggle with getting enough written in his journal too. I suggested to the teacher that she let the kids bring home the journals so they could work a bit more in a relaxed setting. She said that she appreciated my suggestion, but she wanted to keep it an in school activity. Maybe your son's teacher would be more reasonable... Wish I could be more help. If I think of anything, I'll send you a note.septembermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570525910483384484noreply@blogger.com
