I've been thinking about it awhile though and I've only had one idea so far. To make your game easier to build, you could get an old game of Life and piggy back off of that. <BR/><BR/>To get ideas for situations you could keep a note pad handy and write down the stuff that happens every day!<BR/><BR/>Last, I just think that it takes some kids longer to learn how to "do school." JD is a lot like that, and he goes to a Montessori school, so I know he's not bored. I think that you just have to hang in there and keep trying different strategies to get you ideas across, a mix of rewards and consequences, and being there and just hanging tough. I think you do good workToniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828393023510833932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707498239262769376.post-70446745733246047982008-03-27T20:31:00.000-07:002008-03-27T20:31:00.000-07:00p.s.

I have heard of many children acting up simply because they are bored due to the fact that they are above average in smarts. Perhaps you can work with Blake's teachers to give him other activities to do while the rest of the class is finishing their assignments. Does it appear that that is the time when he acts up the most? Other children act up because they do not understand and feel that being funny is a way of not letting people know they are unable to do the work, but I do not think that is the case with Blake. I think he understands perfectly well, but is bored. Are there some advance lessons he can take? Could he read a book or doodle quietly while the rest of the class is doing their assignments that he has completed? I don't really know what else to suggest, I wish you luck with the board game.Terhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427090425449970893noreply@blogger.com
