I know kids can get caught up in things but my guy can so literal it will get exhausing.
Last night we had to finish his book report... notice I said "we" I have gone to the place where I have to help him. He was not getting the concept. That is why on his first book report he got an f.
He can't switch what he is doing to the new task because the new task is the same task he did the day before however, we need to change things around on his notecards becasue he had already written on his note cards a passage from the book however, he is not allowed to do the passage until after his presentation. So on his index cards is the passage that you were not suppose to put there... so you can't go from pulling out the book passage to the next card and say ..... I like that passage.... because you are not reading the passage... huh?? oh
Then to re do the index cards he wants to start on #4 and work backwards... why?? just wanted to keep the same number... but you may not have the same number so start with 1. While I am working with Brandon on completing this, Josh is needing some help but I have to put him aside so I can get Brandon done so he can make wrestling. This does not sit well with Josh but he waited until the last minute to study and do a project so I figure he could wait and think about this.
After two hours of redoing his index cards on a book he read and had to write about for a presentation we had to go to wrestling. In the car I mention that I have to remove Brandon from the house so I can work with Josh on his homework.... why can't I help him and have you try to stay focus a bit to complete a task...?"
Brandon "well mom you are not removing me from the house you are are just taking me to wrestling."
Yes I am but what he does not get is that while he is in wrestling I can help Josh without interuption. School work is hard and I don't mind helping but whenever I try to help Josh or anser a question Brandon jumps in for attention. It is really sad to see, and I really wish I could get to the bottom of what is upseting him or making him so needed or fidgeting or anxious. I wish I had a magic ball.
