Lesson Comments
Alphabet sequencing: Anna-ok. Quinn-no.
Dot to dot: Anna-ok. Quinn-difficult
Quinn became very frustrated when playing Tiddly Winks. He was doing better than Anna or me, but he got upset because sit wasn't easy. This frustration over things that are not easy is frequently observed. He doesn't want to persevere. He often says he cannot do things, but when I insist and stand by him, he is able to complete the task. It appears that he needs me to keep him
focused once he encounters any difficulty. He doesn't seem to have the ability to stop, rethink, and try a different way.
Puzzles: difficult and frustrating for Quinn, but he was able to complete them with me. Anna-capable of doing puzzles on her own, with or without shape outlines.
