Has anyone got any tips to help me help DS2 concentrate better? He's behind at school, and has always been so, and some of his behaviour is challenging. It's not a disaster, he can read and write, and add and subtract etc. His spelling is atrocious, but I think it will improve when he's better at reading and reads more on his own. He still writes some numbers and letters backwards. Maths is hit and miss.
It's the devil's own job to get him to do his homework, or even just to focus and listen while I explain something. I'm sure that much of the school day passes him by while he looks out of the window dreaming about dragons or something. It's also practically impossible to get him to sit on a chair for a whole meal, or to stay calm and polite in a restaurant or whatever. He's not really wild, but definitely a bit.
He can concentrate, as can build a whole lego truck from scratch following the instructions. He behaves better when his brothers aren't around, and I think would like more one-on-one attention, but I have to be realistic about what we'll ever be able to manage.
Any suggestions for what to do welcome!
