Show 2---What do you do when "it" is not working?

List of Questions To Figure Out the "It" Problem

Routine:

1. Are your children bored with the routine?---Restless behaviour
2. Is your routine too Ridged?---Too strict?
3. Is your routine too Loose?---Not enough routine?
4. Are your children resisting the normal routine?
5. Have they outgrown your normal routine?

If you answered "No" to all of these questions, move on to the Curriculum section.

Curriculum:

1. Are your children bored with the curriculum?---Not Challenging enough
2. Is the curriculum too Ridged?---Too structured---Not enough exciting activities
3. Is the curriculum too loose?---Too little structure---It can't keep their attention
4. DOES the curriculum FIT your child's LEARNING STYLE?---Kinesthetic, Auditory, Visual

If you answered "No" to all of these questions, move on to the Teaching Method section.

In realizing that your child's learning style does not fit the curriculum, you have two options.

1. Change your method of teaching the current curriculum.
2. Completely change the curriculum to a curriculum that better suits your child's learning style.

Your predominate teaching method may not be the same as your child's learning style.
Step out of the box and try something new.
Incorporate new techniques to your existing curriculum or change the curriculum completely.

Try these:

**Do more activities
**Games--homemade are the best
**Try Lap Books
**Field Trips
**Songs (Music)
**Art

Once you figure out the "It" problem, you can begin to correct it and move on productively.
