reward based things never work with him ... for each letter I showed him the grip and had him hold up the proper position.
Well done DeHe!
ummmm from that story I get that your son is very motivated by rewards, but that his rewards aren't the typical 'candy and stickers' of other kids his age. He wants to DO things in this world, and your help is a huge reward for him. See what I mean? My son was like this too. He would work hard to earn....my respect. For a week or two I walked around telling DS that he had earned 1,942 respect points for brushing his teeth. My DH looked on in amazement because the points were totally arbitray, and couldn't be cashed in for video game time or anything. DS just wanted concrete proof of my respect. Odd, but adorable!
