" "Quit asking what Zak is learning and just trust that he is
getting what he needs for the day? When we keep asking him what he's
learning, it makes him feel as if he needs to live up to OUR
standards." "
Maybe he could just ask "how was your day?" or "what was the best part
about your day?" if Zak wouldn't mind that.
Then he could feel informed without having Zak feel quizzed. Or maybe
you could just joyfully spew about the day before he gets a chance to
ask!! That worked well for Markus in the earlier days.

Thats a great idea! I was a little tough on my dh only because,
without meaning too, he's sort of scared Zak off of from telling him
anything. For instance; two weeks ago Zak had learned on his own
volition about how to find the radius of a circle. He was all excited
and couldn't wait to tell Donnie all about it...Well, long story
short, Zak told him and Donnie was like, "Oh, ah-huh, good job Zak."
HE then proceeds to give Zak lessons on finding the area of a
rectangle and how to figure out how much a cylinder can hold. Poor
Zak just followed him around the house looking all pathetic, while he
was taken to websites for formulas and everything. :-)
I'm thinking, he ONLY wanted to show you one thing. Well, it was just
yesterday when Zak picked up the book again because he was worried dad
would make him do all this other stuff. LOL He's now hesitant to
share his passions with Donnie.
