How can I motivate him to get even the mundane tasks finished (such as writing sentences down not just make them up in his head, tracing, etc)? To finish all the work and not just pick out the ones that he likes (math, problem solving)?
Any tips?
DS11 has just figured out that if we time him on the easy stuff, it really helps him. He'll say "I bet I can get this done in 3 minutes" and then one of us sets the timer and he sees if he can "beat the clock." I think this helps him feel that this task is finite and the added challenge makes it fun. I will tell you that he discovered this himself. Not sure if it would work if imposed from the outside..
