You could get him to write the plot of his favourite movie, but then write a different ending or even get him to write a sequel to a favourite movie. Or if he's into drawing you could have him make a comic strip with conversation bubbles. If he loves the spotlight you could have him read it out to the family.<br /><br />I hope my kids will want to hang out with me even when they're teens.

I have been very lucky. It's no skill on my part - just luck so far with the two oldest. <br /><br />It'll all be good. <br /><br />Cute pic!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517747321455561159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376583928886074257.post-57564136788574029592010-11-05T07:35:20.652-07:002010-11-05T07:35:20.652-07:00Thanks everyone!

The whole family looks so great in the pic- I bet it was an awesome night!<br /><br />About the schoolwork, I think you're doing it right in the positive reinforcement. Maybe offer to take him out for lunch one day for a great score on a test or something? If he hates writing, has he every tried writing for fun?<br /><br />I know it sounds crazy, but if he just tried doing it for fun instead of for schoolwork (which is agonizing for some kids!) he might find it's not as bad as he thinks?Laura Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597890333129285850noreply@blogger.com
