Joe was in much better spirits today and it was reflected by the amount of work he got done. Despite having trouble writing, we got through a lot of math work today. We also had a great discussion about winning and losing today as we were playing chess. Joe wanted me to let him win and when things weren't going his way, he wanted to quit. But we had a great talk about why we're playing and the importance of learning as opposed to winning. (I also let him take a bunch of my pieces.) The whining and pouting was a little less today, but still very present. Joe definitely needs help staying focused on getting work done.
