Thank you, KnittngMama. This very same advice was given to me years ago. Grateful for the reminder. In the moment, it is so frustrating! I need to remember this before the meltdown-his and mine
polarbear, I look forward to hearing from you. He does this with typing also. He plays a game and, if he doesn't meet the goal, he cries and stops trying.
I haven't totally removed the pencil from his school work, but I have significantly reduced the amount of time he does written work. I was hoping this would reduce the frustration but it hasn't and that's left me confused and thinking perfectionism.
As always, I appreciate your input.
