So dps daughter is with us with a strict instruction ' yelled out' by her mum at the door on collection to 'make sure you read'
When she got back here we said about reading and she seems really off about doing so. She's normally really keen to read.
We said to leave it until today but do her other homework last night.
Again today. Not too keen on reading.. I will add she's 2 years ahead in reading for her age so not like she's always slacked.
We asked her why she didn't want to, wa sit a tricky book. A boring book, a book she's read.
She just said she didn't want to and she hasn't read all week (1/2 term) at Mummys.
We managed to get her to read 8 pages. And said that was all. We wouldn't force her to do it. As don't want her rebelling but also want to encourage her.
Now we've text her mum to say about it, however she's done all her other homework. and she's gone mad saying don't let her get away with it. MAKE her READ.
We don't want to force her and her rebell as I said. But thinking an odd time isn't going to harm her. But obviously would keep and eye. If not contact the school and speak to them about it.
For the record she is normally really enthusiastic, isn't coming across as there being anything bothering her etc. Think it's just a case of she's not in the mood to.
She's 7
