I feel like I have just had an epiphany of sorts. I'm listening to a man from England talk about the failures of the typical public education systems in developed countries. His point is mainly that our schools push children to right or wrong and math and english but fail in the arts and creativity section of learning/teaching. Who says that you have to be good at math and english to be successful? In reality, God made us all different, so we will be good at different things in different ways. As I try to teach Jordan to sit still, work on his handwriting, numbers, reading - I realize his brain works differently from mine. He's really smart but a different kind of smart than I am. It's not my job to conform him to be and learn more like me, but to find what talents God has given him and nurture those.
