S.,
Is that what's next for me? I have a six year old son and he can be the same way. The challenge with him is that he loves to watch t.v.and read. So, if we restrict the TV, he's ok with it because he'll just go read. Who doesn't want their son reading, right? And, I know some may not agree but perhaps you can tie some imcentives to him reading. IF you read a book/week you can do or have... Becuase you know the improtance of reading, by any means necessary get him to do it. Have you checked his vision? MY mother tells us stories about my older brother (who is 40 today) had trouble in school, couldn't read, wasn't focused , etc. and it took her until he was in late elementary early middle school to realize he had a vision problem. But also, I think you hit it on the nail when you said LAZY. A part of that is boys are lazier than girls and sometimes (most times) are less focused. I can tell my son to go do or get me something and the very next few seconds he is engaged in something else. And, I believe it is because he has trouble focusing, which is just BOYS. I'd say keep praying and working with him. And, continue to give him tasks and opportunites to be responsible and focus. Is he involved in any sports or extra activities? Does he have chores? Even though my son can be a "boy", he has some chores (at six) that he is responsible for like feeding the dog and pullin gthe trash cans inside. Everyday when he comes in the first thing he does is feed the dog and give him water. I know tha't his dog and he really loves him but that shows me that he can be responsible and focused with that, which means I will keep on him until he gets it in other areas too. I hope that helps Next topic....In terms of your career options, are you looking for something form home or outside of the house? Either way, I may have something for you.
