No need to apologize, I can see now that what I wrote might have come across poorly.
He is a handsome kid. What level of math is he doing?
He’s in first grade and doing third grade math, but he needs a bit more of a challenge. I’m thinking about starting Saxon math this summer. Since he’s so kinesthetic, I think he’ll like the manipulatives. He’s reading at a sixth grade level, which is what sets him above his peers. Once one can read well, the world is completely opened up. He read the latest Imprimis during breakfast this morning, lol. He can handle human contact, but not criticism. It’s been a rough patch. We’re working on transitioning from reward based discipline to consequence based. It’s not going well and I don’t know of it’s because it’s too soon, or he’s just bucking the new system. He’s a bit rebellious.
