Day 440

Attention span...
Are you having a problem getting your son to stay focused? We have been. He's 5. He's the youngest (on both sides of the family). He's the only boy (on both sides of the family). To say he has been babied (mostly by me) is an understatement. He has also been somewhat neglected I think. There is so much going on at any given time and we are so used to the girls being so self-sufficient that we forget the rules are a little different for boys. We have found such a great tool in helping him gain some patience, focus and concentration along with being able to spend some one-on-one time with daddy. Legos. He has to follow the directions exactly and it takes more than 30 seconds to get it right. He works really hard and then has an instant reward when it's all finished. What could be better?



L got in on the action too!
