Monday, I posted about a few of the challenges of my work. (See "Never Dull," Feb. 23).
I see progress on all fronts but one. And I am happy to report some big successes:
1. Still pouting, but for shorter times, and less overt crying.
2. Child number 2 has successfully had THREE half-hour lessons with me without a single snide remark.
5. Found new mentor for one, reading buddy for another, special job as setup assistant for yet another. Baby steps, but adolescence is superhard when it's fresh. And the toughest case - managed to catch him smiling and working at the same time. He had remembered how to find the least common multiple of 2 numbers, without any prompting or reminders, and he was SO proud.
Unfortunately, no. 6 remains a heartbreaker. But I did my best with this colleague today.
