Ideas for the unmotivated child
I have no idea what to do with my 7 year old for homeschool this year. We've been really laid back and unschooly but this has just led to him following me around bored. If I try to do something schoolish with him it usually leads to him throwing a fit. Even when I let him pick topics he rejects doing activities, even when framed as "Hey, let's do this fun thing together."
I could probably make him really happy and find an app for every "school" subject and call it homeschool but the boy already has a terrible screen addiction (we limit screen time to after lunch but he just does not get it and asks every single day, multiple times "Can I use the iPad now? How about the computer?") He has to learn that there are fun technology free things.
SO I'm looking for suggestions. Anyone have any ideas?
