I have 2 frustrated learners so I sympathize with the challenges! Hang in there. I hope the tips help.

My daughter knows her mind, and I haven't quite figured out how to encourage her to keep trying something she has determined is too hard. I'm going to try these tips next time, and stop wishing that she will change!

Oh, that's a good idea about the spoon/knife. Thanks. I'll try that next time.

And what a wonderful opportunity to teach problem-solving and leadership skills! I love it! Even if they're not into it at first, it's those moments where you're just hanging out that they will remember, don't you think? And I bet they'll pas it on to their kids 🙂

I'm an art teacher and have to say paper has a life of its own - perhaps using the back of a spoon or a butter knife to run across the fold may help?

We sat down down do some drawing this weekend and had that happen. My son went nuts because he can't make cute eyes. Then he looked at his sister's art and really got discouraged. Somehow he eventually found his groove, thankfully.

Love the flags!
