I just don't know what to do about my sweet Jackson. He is so extremely OCD that teaching him is very difficult. We have been working on learning to write his name for quite some time. Josh learned in a matter of days and, actually, Jackson could have as well EXCEPT...he is an extreme perfectionist. We haven't gotten past the letter J because he gets upset with himself because his J's aren't PERFECT like mine or like the one on his wall in his room. He's 3, his J's will not be perfect, but I don't know how to tell him that. I tell him his J's ARE perfect, which makes him more mad. And by mad I mean typical Jackson fit (rolling on the ground crying in devastation). It's frustrating. I'm hoping as he gets older he can channel his perfectionism (is that a word?) towards something good but I really don't know how to handle him?
Any suggestions or ideas???
