She is doing great. I have not heard the words "bored" or "boring" pass through her lips once since starting lessons. However, this student does have a strong need to control her environment, and because of the current home life situation, she has tried to use many behaviors as control issues. A visit over the weekend to the noncustodial parent generally means a lesson on a Monday that is a little more work for me, as I bring her back into the fold. As she gets older, she recovers quicker. We have a routine, and she knows that I will not deviate from it. She cannot bully me with her behaviors, so she relies on them less and less. I count this one as a success. This student turned out to be fun! Never boring!Paula E. Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790961893704898488noreply@blogger.com
