Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Elementary School off to a rough start

Thanks for your hints for naming:).He doesnt like writing at all.FIRST, because He thinks He is so slow and He has to use more afford not to write backwards. When He was in PREK,his teacher forced him to copy words(he doesnt like copying) but it was translusant material, so he can copy them bothways , I warned her that He would learn them backward but she said "Thats okay,I just want him to improve his pencilgrasping skills' but he learned to write many letters and numbers backward. When They began to write complete sentence. He realized that He was writing backwards them and He stopped writing at all.That time he was 4 years old. SECOND,He needs stimulation.Until He was two I thought him to everything Turkish. I translated the English book to Turkish while I was reading them " I think because of that he couldn't learn reading at that age:)" He learned English eventually but it was his age level. At the park He was always trying to talk bigger kids to play esp " pretent play",but he couldn't so He cried to go to school.I sent him to Montessory." (First week He tricked the teacher and sisters so they asked me" how can we say to sit in Turkish'. I said them believe me He will understand every word you said then problem was solved:)).When He learned to speak english very well. Teacher said " He is not doing anything and All He was watching bigger children and walk between them.I asked her let him do things with them,She said" He is small for that".I waited half school year and changed his school. New one(PREK) was play oriented, but not really??. I tought they cant stimulate him so they may let him play but more problems accured and writing was ice on the cake:o.He was crying to not to go to school.Then,next year, I enrolled him to public Kindergarden,was half day.Luckly He had a teacher,gave some credits what i said and let mychild not do anything in class but still learned and let him think his stuff when he was palying.Then everything changed He began to write but she let him write what he thinks,after every writing paper she gave him some mazes he liked.She didnt get angry him When he gave extra information about the subject she thought, so He began to talked more explained more,sometimes not let her telk but she made joked abuth thats= so myson got relaxed. Some day she said my son wasn't himself yesterday ,so I let him be(If I asked him what happened, Myson said oh mommy sometimes I needed to think about the stuff.Some times I am thinking even in my dreams) ..But today He did his writing asignment. I said him to challenge himself and he didnt even look at the table.Now he is in first grade ,new teacher,and in one week Iam full of stress.
I want to explain to you how He likes to think, This morning He had asked my husband some stuff. when I entered the room my son was jumping with joy.I asked him what happened. my son said to me something about jumping electromagnetic fields.........etc.He said I am right mommy.I figured it out samething,I thought about it alot.It has to be like that and it is like that. I said good job Myson and went to kitchen to prepare the breakfast:).

why He is not writing. when I ask him this Question ,he always says It is boring mommy.Even for his homeworks are always boring for him. Even mathematic homework is boring.Just science
isnt boring which is the only subject we let him ask further questions about. My husband dont teach him any school curriculum. He said to me I can teach him every subject even integral,I know he can learn but so what.He thinks school is boring even now,what will he think later than.He says the important thing is his curiousty. He likes to think what he is currious about. for example, Myson came to me to learn about Ouantum physic. Momy I had many idea about light speed, I am planning to make a shutle can go like that. But I need to learn more. My husband asked his ideas and says to me, let him think more about them. when my son came to him his solutions.He was helping him litle bit and let him think more. For my son his dady is most clever man in the world and not boring at all:).
