So far I do my own curriculum, but I am having a really hard time with one of my dcb's. He is 4. He always complains when it's time to do crafts, workbooks, anything that involves doing things as a group and learning/writing/crafts. He often will just stare into space, or pay attention to the other kids work instead of his own. The other kids all finish before he does (even my own 2 yo), and even when the others leave the table to play he sits there and stares into space rather than finishing. I am pretty much forcing him to participate.

I have never encountered such a young child rejecting learning, crafts, etc... in this way. He is the boy that also plays by himself almost 100% of the day. So I'm not sure if it's related to group activities, or just learning and doing crafts in general.

Any suggestions to get him to participate without having to force him? Has anyone encountered a child who hated these types of activities?
