Your child not enjoying doing something is not a reason not to do it.
/Hear me out!
I’m referring to those of you preparing for a 4+ Assessment here (others too but let’s focus on 4+ for this blog).
I hear my own clients and potential new clients telling me this…
‘I’ve tried to do x with her/him but she/he just doesn’t like doing it.’
Do you think my son has always liked doing the things that he now is so amazing at doing?
No, absolutely not!
Do you think it meant that I didn’t do those things?
No! I did them anyway.
At the end of the day, if you are preparing your child for a 4+ Assessment and they don’t like to do something that they have to do in their 4+ Assessment, you’re going to have to find strategies to support them to want to do those things anyway!
Saying to me that your child doesn’t want to do phonics or writing just means nothing if you are preparing them to go to their 4+ Assessments in the next 2-5 months!
So your child is not interested in writing at the moment? Is that a reason to not do it?
No!
It is a reason to do it! To find strategies to support them to be interested to do their writing!
So your child is not interested in drawing at the moment? Is that a reason to not do it?
No!
You see where I’m going with this!
Your child is not always going to enjoy doing things.
Then comes the whining - ‘But my child is only 2/3 - this is just not fair!’
Then don’t send them to a 4+ Assessment!
