[quote=Anonymous]The secret is to establish a DAILY routine, however short or long it is. This is used when practicing anything you want to get good at (the Suzuki method, multiplication, learning a new language, etc). It is better to practice a little every day than it is to practice for hours infrequently. It is even more important with children who do not want to do whatever it is that you want them to practice! Getting them into the habit of daily practice decreases their resistance to it significantly. It's like brushing teeth. DS knows he has mental arithmetic practice first thing every morning, then after breakfast his math workbook and writing practice. He loves to read so that is not a problem. He has an IEP and needs to work on all of this, but I have realized that this method is really efficient for all children, and have implemented this with my younger daughter, who has no special needs and is at least a year ahead.
