Any tips on how to help a child that is struggling to stay focussed at school? He's starting to dread going in and has wet the bed a few times since term has started.
He's bright, so very able, but easily distracted by others and distracting to others. He is 7. He can retain information and gets concepts quickly, but struggles to put it onto paper in a timely way - he had an outburst this weekend about doing homework as 'weekends are meant to relax'! Is it laziness? Low confidence? Is it me - I've been v sick for the last eighteen months? Is it that he was left to coast at school for too long (could read and do basic maths before started, so wasn't challenged)? He always seems pleased that he can do it right and quickly, but the getting there is v heavy. Tips from parents or teachers appreciated.
Teacher has spoken to me a couple of times already about talking in class. I want to speak with her with a plan, but don't know what to suggest. I just don't think he's there yet, so don't think putting him on 'red' on the chart is doing anything.
