It was actually your post that reminded me DeHe - I've been thinking about it for a while. Usually at middle of the night feeds when I can't do anything about it
He's going to be home schooled, If he wasn't at home he would have just started our version of K. So I have time, but also less motivation for him, and less opportunity for him to see other children writing.
The motivation is tricky - school can be a double edge sword - DS did see other kids doing it but instead of saying I want to do that, I can do that, he said I am bad at it, I should be dong it already without help. It was bizarre that he knew he could read and they couldn't but didn't think less of them, and didn't really consider reading or the stuff he did anything usual cause he couldn't remember not doing it!!! I found that finding some buy in he couldn't rationalize away helped, like wouldn't it be great to write down your stories or draw your own space ship.
And I do my "best" thinking in the middle of the night!!
