How John functions in this area
At home, John has plenty of energy to play, but sometimes needs help getting started on less preferred activities like homework. Breaking tasks down seems to help him stay motivated. John's sleep can be a bit restless some nights, but overall, he's able to get the rest he needs to recharge for the next day.
John thrives when activities are engaging and spark his curiosity. At home, this means he might need a little encouragement to start less preferred tasks like tidying his toys, but he's always keen to help with exciting projects like baking or building!
At school, John is a capable learner who sometimes needs a little help to get started on tasks and maintain his focus. Once he's engaged, he participates well in class. Encouragement and strategies to manage impulsivity could help John sustain his motivation and channel his energy productively throughout the school day.
John is a friendly and engaged boy. When he's interested in a topic, like dinosaurs, he can participate for extended periods. Sometimes, however, John's attention wanders during less preferred tasks like handwriting practice. Providing John with choices and incorporating his interests can help him stay motivated during these activities.
John's energy and motivation levels appear consistent across home and school. Both parents and teachers feel that John benefits from some support to engage and sustain his effort. The very slight difference may reflect the more predictable environment at home. It will be important to provide John with clear expectations, break tasks into smaller steps, and build in regular breaks. Consider what motivates John, and try to incorporate his interests into activities to help him stay engaged and energized.
