Do you ever ask yourself this???
I do!
I don't know if it's just because this is known as a low income area or something but I really struggle to get any enthusiasm from my mindees!
This is in regards to food, they sit there and pick at it moaning about what they don't like (always any type of veg!) even though all of their "about me" forms say they eat anything! They are currently sitting at the table picking at their food telling each other what fast food is their favourite!!
Then there's themes/event things. For example, I've bought some jubilee decorations and things ready for the last week in may. I had planned an activity every evening that week (making crowns and stuff like that) to then lead up to a little party Friday where they could decorate their own cupcakes jubilee style and have music etc- not one of them is interested! Apparently they don't like parties, it all sounds boring, dont want to do the activities I've told them about.
Makes me feel completely deflated, especially when I ask them for their ideas and they say nothing!! :(
