....The adventure continues. After 15 mins of very little work, he was ready to quit. "I just want to be lazy, I don't want to do this any more." To which I reply, "O.k. you can be lazy. You can sit on this couch, with no toys, nothing, until you are ready to finish this small lesson and then you can play. "You mean I can't watch t.v. or play on the computer, or nothing?" "Nope, you want to be lazy...you get to, and when you are done and you realize how boring being lazy is, we will finish this lesson and let you do all sorts of other fun stuff. Ten minutes later…”O.k. let’s finish, I’m ready Momma, I want to do it now.” Twenty minutes later we were completely through for the day, it’s like he got an adrenaline rush.
