Home School Resources & Tips

I know what you mean and I really don't want to. The problem is that given the choice he would just flop on the sofa and not do anything at all. Even getting out of the house to just walk to the park is an effort. I enjoy sharing stuff with him and we've done some great activities that are educational but also fun. The problem is that I hate (and absolutely cannot cope with) him showing a total lack of engagement with something when he needs to get on with it for the sake of getting anything done in the day. After about a minute of trying to get some sort of response out of him I'm reduced to either just walking away and leaving him doing nothing (literally face down on the sofa) or threatening him with such a withdrawal of privileges that it just reduces him to tears. This is very much my problem as much as his, but I can't see a way round it.
