I requested Julie to be more creative with homeworks and make fun stories with everything if possible
Kids love stories so let him learn while listening to stories involving whatever the homework is.
I requested Julie to take him outside often and teach him there in the nature. The intention is to break the same pattern of study hours.
I noticed Julie's son is very creative with blocks. So I requested her to encourage him into it and try to infuse learning into it.
I did it!! Yes!! Wow!!
