Hi
DS (5) is in Reception.
He's doing really well and hitting his targets. But one thing that he hates is writing. Even his teacher told us that she struggles to get him to write; once he starts he does it, but initially refuses.
We've been trying to do writing exercises at home but now, as soon as I say writing, he goes into meltdown!
How do I change this? I don't want him to write pages obviously, but I think he gets annoyed because if he can't do a letter properly he immediately goes "Oh Mummy, I CANT!!!"... I encourage him and say Don't worry let's try again...
I think to improve and gain confidence he has to practise and he doesn't want to practise... I've bought writing books, we have magazines, pen control books...
What else can I try?
