[QUOTE="TerriH, post: 90178, member: 298"] A conversation with my son about his reading assignment: What did x feel about y? "I don't know". Did x like y? "I don't KNOW!" Did y hit x with a rock? "Yes" Would that make x like him? "I don't know". If somebody hit YOU with a rock, would you like him? "No". Would it make you angry? "Yes". Do you think it made x angry, too? Would it make you like him? (silence. This is HARD!) "NO! NOT ONE BIT!" Halleluya!!!!!!!!! He GOT it!!!!!! Of course, it had to b done again the next time he was stuck...... With my son, What he does WELL in English USUALLY balances out what he does poorly. It is a shame he did not receive help from day one: that way he would not have to be pulled out of a class he likes. My son will ALWAYS be behind when it comes to human motivations. I accept this, and we work on it together. He ALSO has an extra period of remedial work to help him translate the words into feelings, but I honestly do not know if that gives him more help that "If it happened to you, how would YOU feel?". He gets A's and B's on his spelling and his reports, and he does poorly on tests covering motivations. So far, it balances out. [/QUOTE]
