Only in the 2nd week and already the novelty of learning online has worn off especially for my youngest ( hes in y1). He isn't interested in being involved in zoom lessons? He keeps running off mid lesson, he is seeing his friends on the screen he wants to converse with them he wants to show his toys off etc, he doesn't really understand why he can't do this and he should only concentrate on the teacher.
He is a little bit behind some of his class with reading and writing, sometimes the work set is beyond him and overwhelming that he then refuses to do anything at all.
He flat out refused to do anything today, the short times he did sit in on the zooms he was messing about the whole time, not listening or concentrating. The zoom meetings aren't for too long and they aren't continous throughout the day theres good breaks in-between. I cant fault the teacher shes doing an amazing job. On the whole the work load is appropriately for their age (although ds is behind for his age). I can see the look on his face sometimes that he really doesn't have a clue what's being taught or asked of him its quite upsetting tbh. I dont push him to do too much, for example if there's 5 questions to answer ill only make him do 2 or 3 because I can see hes struggling.
How can I make this easier for him to engage with? Hes 5 hes never learned this way before. Im not a teacher so I've no idea how to actually teach him face to face although I am trying. His reading and writing are so far behind his peers i dont won't him to fall even further behind.
How can I keep this up long term without failing him?
