Well obviously he is 3 (3..9 to be exact) so he can't write but he now its a struggle (at home and nursery) to do any type of mark making as he says he can't write. As background he picked up recognising the letters and numbers really early and i think he just expects to be able to write them perfectly. About 9 months ago i remember him writing a 2 and it looks vaguely like a 2, it was a brilliant attempt and i said 'great' etc etc and he said 'its not a good 2' and starts crying. He is just so hard on himself that now he won't even try. Anyone else had one like this?
