The last two days my daughter has shown frustration at the Little Reader presentations. It is the first time ever since we started showing it to her when she was 8 months old. Recently I switched her over from the single words to show very short stories with phrases and short sentences and she seemed to enjoy them very much, but now she seems to cry if I show her one she doesn’t want. I can ask her “Do you want ____ one?” but she seems to say yes all the time and then cry. She never cries if it is a brand new story, but I cannot make a new story for her every day.
Any suggestions on what I can do? I was hoping to get at least 15 repetitions out of new categories, but it seems that is not working anymore. I have downloaded a fair amount but even so I cannot keep up with her and I am also wondering whether she is learning anything if she sees it only once or twice.
- we’ve always been advocates of fun and joyous learning, but if your child isn’t in the mood for your lessons, then perhaps it’s best to lay off them for a while. Give your daughter a day or two of rest, even for as long as she needs to replenish her enthusiasm for the lessons.
