just another thought. Can you get out with him and do something less schoolish? Maybe you can get him to really relax and learn to enjoy learning again. My son loves to go to the zoo or park. You could even take a class at the library. How about going Bowling for Gym Class? The exercise will help him feel better. You could tie a fun event to learning. Does he like batting cages? then see

My DD did an unoffical Preschool homeschooling at one time. We made a special book that she would write down 3 things she wanted to do. I required one to be exercise. A dance party together would count. We kept it loose. The book is a fun record of this special time. She included drawings and stickers. It let her be incharge of her learning. You could adapt this idea geared towards an older child. They could use it as a journal and write a story or thoughts.
