I'm looking for ideas as to how I can help DS (9) overcome the problem of putting pen to paper.
Background: we're not in the U.K. And this is not his native language. He's been through several schools due to location but we're here to attend now.
He can do worksheets etc - where there is a definite answer without trouble, can craft to his hearts content in minecraft / Lego etc, is a whizz at board games and strategy. He can answer me verbally if I ask questions relating to the past, but when asked to write about 'what did you do in your holiday' he just sits and stares at the sheet of paper. Admittedly not completely blank as he's sectioned it off into the structure for the work, but there is no content and even doing it together at home it's like getting blood from a stone.
He read well and is interested in most things around him, but this is now gettIng to be a real stumbling point.
Any ideas how I can help him overcome this?
