Draw out of him his thoughts and ideas. Eventually it will begin to come naturally to discuss what he has learned.

I have essentially given up on the narration with my 8 year old son (perfectionist by the way). His standard answer is I don't know or I forget.

How could I persuade her not to whine but learn to narrate?Eszterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14251678734029634014noreply@blogger.com
