Motivating a Boy to Work

P1110568P1110574

My youngest has a passion for science.

P1110491

He loves to do experiments. 

Actually he begs for them and I use them as bribes so he finishes the rest of his school.

P1110569

He wasn’t sure about learning to play piano.  He thought drums were more his style.  We didn’t have drums but we have a piano. 

P1110617

He does it because he knows that he can be loud.

I can’t say a word since I convinced him to learn.

P1110646I think we need to work more field trips in because when we visited our state capital building this past Saturday he really enjoyed learning about our state’s history. 

I think the zoo would be fun next! 

It is a challenging thing to keep a almost 9 year old boy focused on learning. 

 

He literally escaped the house 3 or 4 times this morning to go run around the yard.  It happened each time I turned to help his sisters.  I have learned not to get upset because he truly just wants to move.  Sometimes to help him to focus I just have him run up and down the stairs singing a fun song.  It helps. 

He’s not ADD, he’s just a boy that has boundless energy. 

I love getting to stay home with him and challenge him each day.
