Kid got a homework from kindergarten,last night,I spent nearly one hour to guide him to finish it.The homework is not very difficult,there are two circles on a paper,and require kid draw eyes and month in one circle in order to form a smile face,and do the same thing in another circle to form an angry face.For the smile face,he just need to draw a curve with both ends upward at the month position,and two curves with both ends downward at eye's position,and the angry face is opposite. It's a huge task for the kid,cause he had never learnt how to draw at home,I don't know if he had learnt it in kindergarten or not,at home,all he had done with a pen is drawing on a paper randomly.Finally,he finished the two face that I only can score them 50.I guess I have lots of work to do,I need to teach him how to draw step by step,the first is how to keep a right sitting posture,second,he need to learn how to handle a pen tightly and steadily,the last should be teaching him how to draw a shape he want on paper.Well,it's a huge task for me now. Any good idea and experience,share me please.......

Education of children is a hard mission, I have similar experience as yours,I have a daughter ,she also go into kindergarten, the teacher will teach singing , teacher asked parents to write the song's words when children singing, it means our children and us need finished this task togather, it seems is very easy, but it is a very hard work, my children's singing is not fluent and clear, I need recognise carefully, sometime my daughter forgot words, this task will can't finished. there is a interesting thing, my daughter can recoginse number from 1 to 10, but she always can't writing write number 6 , I don't know why , I teach her again and again, now she can write this number. recently day, she can learn the simple plus mathod. Teaching children is hard thing , but also is a delight thing

How old is he? Some kids never learn how to hold a pencil until after Grade two. Our kid did not know how to hold a pencil properly until she reached second grade. She thought it was painful to her fingers if she held it the proper way. Now she's in Grade 4 and she's doing okay. We just have to wait until the kids' psycho-motor will develop.
