I spelled a word wrong in my original post, so I deleted it and am re-posting here, but now it shows that I deleted the first one, lol. I thought I'd best explain so you don't wonder who did that!<br /><br />Our dog had to have the "glands cleaned" too ~ I had never heard of it before but I mentioned to the vet that he was "scooting" when we first got him.<br /><br />I am no expert with teaching children, but I did do daycare for many years, and had some school aged children so here are a few tricks that I learned:<br />1) Make a chart and let JS earn stickers for each day that he co-operates with his school work, or even for each subject to make it easier for him to earn rewards. At the end of the week, IF he has enough stickers, let him pick from a prize box ~ just little trinket stuff. I tried to put stuff in the box that was actually useful, lol.<br />2) Put the homework assignments in a hat, along with one "fun" project, and let JS pick one thing at a time from the hat, and he works on each assignment as he picks it from the hat.<br />3) Sit with JS and read the directions aloud to him, then have him use his own words to confirm that he understands what he needs to do. Set a timer for say 5 minutes. Tell him that he needs to work on the assignment by himself, but when the timer goes off you will come to see how he is doing, help if he needs it, then set the timer again. As time goes on, add more minutes to the timer, and so on.<br />4) Let JS take a five minute break between each assignment ~ set the timer so he knows when it's time to get back to work. <br /><br />I'm big on timers, even with Darci's girls. They just take turns and co-operate so much better for some reason when I set a timer.<br /><br />Sorry this is so long ~ maybe I should've emailed. Anyway, I hope something here is helpful to you:)<br />SherrySherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16730795883306844091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13312615.post-83502143354939834782009-09-25T19:47:51.316-05:002009-09-25T19:47:51.316-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16730795883306844091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13312615.post-72385998648414049212009-09-25T10:56:25.546-05:002009-09-25T10:56:25.546-05:00Hang in there w/ JS.

What is this gland thing you are talking about.Never heard of it.Is it just for female dogs? If so tell me so I can know what to look for if my puppy needs that done too.Glad you found a really enjoyable book to read finally. I was invited to a jewelry party once before but never went because I'm not real big into jewelry either. I only wear my wedding ring, earrings, and diamond necklace everyday that Jess bought for me. I won't wear just anything.I wear those because he bought them for me and they are special to me. Let us know how the party went anyway.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10911767321126596464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13312615.post-44385518036164162652009-09-25T08:42:24.995-05:002009-09-25T08:42:24.995-05:00Sending JS on a bus definitely wouldn't solve ...Sending JS on a bus definitely wouldn't solve the problem. It may just be worse. I am sure there is no "right" answer, it seems like you are going with your instincts which is going to work. Of course I send Daniel on a bus..lol....but the situation is different. <br /><br />Oh the glands...those wonderful glands on doggies. Belle seems to have grown out of having them expressed. But she did have a problem for a while. Hopefully Daisy will grow out of it too.<br /><br />That book does look good. I will have to add it to my bookswap list.....which I think I read about first on your blog...THANK You! One of the best sites EVER. I have so many books to be read now!DDaniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374717498297983141noreply@blogger.com
