[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I don't know how a kid who is an average reader and "sucks" at writing got into AAP.[/quote] Dyslexia/dysgraphia?[/quote] I don't know about OP's kid, but my kid hates writing b/c he self-censors. [b]He is truly stymied by the open-endedness of creative writing.[/b] He likes the linear fashion of math where there is a "right answer" that he is seeking. With writing, there is usually not a "right answer" and he is overwhelmed by that. He thinks he can't do writing... and part of it may be an attention deficit issue. He can't focus on the empty page and lack of structure. [/quote] My DD (ADHD combined type) has similar issues. We checked out the book Letting Go of Perfect out of the library -- has some good tips for "perfection-seeking" kids. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7670834-letting-go-of-perfect [/quote]
