Sloane despises formal instruction. She wants to know all the things right now and becomes very frustrated and anxious when she does not know how to sound out letters to form a word. Anxiety usually erupts unto anger and the formal “lesson” time comes crashing to an end,
I’m trying to adapt my teaching to fit her learning instead of stopping up the hope that she will suddenly adapt to the lessons. We’re circling a drain and she’s an angry elf.
Our little corner if the world just has too many other unknowns to occupy the list of things to worry about. Sloane will learn to read. She will learn to count and compute mathmatecal equations.
Her over sensitive responses to typical every day tasks tell me that she has more important things to learn right now. Like working independently for 5-10 minutes and waiting without yelling until I can help her problem solve. Creating cardboard castle with a moat and bridge provided that for her, this week.
