Okay, so my son has no intrest in learning his letters and numbers! 😄 Here I was thinking it was me and he was just giving me a hard time. In the comment section on his report I want to tell the teacher Welcome To My World! 🤣🤣🤣
Anyone know how or have ideas how to help a very energetic child who wants nothing to do with sitting and learning the above. I posted a learning palette we got and he seems to like it a lot. I might invest in the numbers pack but a variety would also be nice. He is into taking things apart, building kind of things, tools...he is way more hands on than the girls. His struggle is more recognition and writing than verbally saying them.
Incorporate them into play and physical activity.

Some of those blogs repeat the same ideas, but if he struggles staying still, meet him where he’s at. Work on letters and numbers while moving and work in sitting and paying attention separately, with board games or other activities. As his ability to sit and do activities increases, you can try more seated learning opportunities too.
My nephew is the same at 7yo. My 3yo has no interest in learning. Shes not going in the public school system so she wont be forced to have to learn to write before her hands are fully developed either. Right now its just playdoh, sand, paint, crafts, singing and dancing.
Science study (wish i could find it again) states littles hands arent quite ready for beat and legible handwritting till 7
@no062014 Also, I'm not a fan of our area, somehow they have okay grades but I've seen ppl go from Fs to As in a few weeks to graduate and then drop out because they couldn't handle college. I feel like I struggled but teachers just kept pushing me through. Its odd. I dont want that for my kids. My husband went to private until high school so he doesnt know that public school life! Lol
@scidg3 thats my plan is more of a co op. Its hard on littles. Mine went 3 months without seeing her best friend and it was a nightmare. Its also not as hard or scary once you get into it. Petrified my mom at first bc the requirements looked petrifying. But depending on your state some school districts do still have to provide services to students.
@scidg3 i dont want my little to hate school either. I somehow manahed to graduate and i did well. But i hated it. The pressure of it. I begged my parents to homeschool me but they refused. I did good teaching myself a lot.
My kids loveee this mainly my babies
They have a lot of different fun videos and try jack hartman too

@madrex2 the older one, for a baby thats totally normal.
@no062014, i don’t try to teach him much just the basics I got him puzzles and blocks he is not interested 😂 he just lives his own life
@madrex2 lol yep pretty much at that age. Dela wanted nothing to do with sitting to read with me and still doesnt at 3. Didnt care about any of the educational toys, puzzles none of it. But her sensory ball she loved, play doh or paint in a zip lock bag was good. And then just lots of singing and dancing. We did a lot of word party and letter blocks on youtube
We did stuff with playdoh, chalk, sand, art, to practice writing letters and numbers. My son was like that he is still like that he is not a flash card person or a paper pencil. Jack hartman on YouTube has great learning songs my son loves to sing and dance and they helped alot

I already see a ton he will enjoy, thank you. It's like my brain can't think. My girls are at the place where we can play board games, cards, sit down games and he sticks around for 5 seconds. It takes a lot to get him to read a book even. When I was going to homeschool he did awesome with doing any schooling outdoors. I knew he would struggle the most and he has gotten better. He is just so active and in his own little world. He needs a different path and I couldn't think to save my brain!
@scidg3, you’re welcome! I’m on a lot of Facebook groups where this comes up, so I can’t take credit for the ideas. I thought they were brilliant when I saw them the first time!
Does your son respond to timers? I’ve seen that trick work with increasing a kid’s ability to sit still. Have them do an activity for x amount of time with a visual representation of when it will be over and slowly increase the time as attention increases. My son loves timers 😂 If he’s being slow with anything, I’ll ask him if he wants to “race” the timer and it usually does the trick.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.
