My son is easily distracted. School is starting next week. This could be a challenge. Or may be not. The downside is if there is a television on anywhere in his vicinity, he will turn into a mindless zombie. But he also will pick up a book, magazine, or graphic novel and be equally engrossed. Legos have the same effect. Amazingly creative ideas come spilling out when he is playing.
So here is my observation from the summer - if we want my son to learn and to love learning, drop a pile of engrossing books on his desk relevant to the subjects he needs to learn, and leave him alone. He will be more engrossed and learn far more than he would if we tried to teach him.
