Maybe others will have suggestions on how to motivate him.
Yes, while I want to be supportive of ds, I do not want to feed into the negativity. Any suggestions for motivating him would be great! I will also speak with his teacher, of course, but I'd like to help ds feel more positive about school and feel good about how far he's come. In just 3 weeks, his writing looks like it's from a different kid. It's a huge improvement, but to him, it's just "too hard," "too much," and "he can't do it." He says he wants to go to another school, but I'm afraid he's learned from our previous experience with making a school change that he can just say he doesn't like it and we'll let him try something else. Maybe he'll evenutally find a school where he can play Wii all day! (He was at the other school for 2 1/2 years before we made a change, and it's not something we want to do again.)
