baileyj Report post Posted February 20, 2006 Hi Forbsay, thats just brilliant, I bet your so proud. Well done to your little one. My Max also 5, is now reading, and its turned our world around, whenever he can't understand something, we just write it down, stick charts up everywhere, and write little books for him, its great. Weve got nowhere with toilet training at all, then since he could read, we did some charts 1. pull down pants, etc etc and stuck it on the bathroom wall, and hey presto. If he's worried about something, we just write it out, and he can quietly read it and it calms him down, it sort of distracts him away from his fear. Keep up the good work with your little un Jo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
