What oh what will kids do in the summer when left to their own devices? I decided to check out the garage to see what my son was up to and found a very pleasant surprise indeed. His love of cars has motivated him to start building his own. He used plaster of Paris to make this car mold and then it looks like he hot glued the wheels into the wheel wells. He painted it black and decorated with stickers.
This boy just amazes me with how smart and talented he is and yet this is a child who struggles in school. His strengths are very much mechanical and architectural and schools just don’t put much emphasis on these interests and strengths. Public school fails him and many other students so it is my job as the parent to counteract damage, be his advocate (on his side always), and use off-school time to help him grow and flourish. And he doesn’t even need much help in that regard anymore… this kid is taking flight on his own.
