I'm struggling a bit with one of my EY's (2.5) learning journal so hoping someone here will have some advice.
So, I have him Mon- Friday HOWEVER! I only have him 7-9&4-5 Monday, 7-9 & 2.15-5tues,weds, thurs & 9-1friday! The 7-9 mornings we can't obviously do any activities as its too early & then theres breakfast, get ready, school run. Same as 2.15-5 he gets dropped off, we leave for school run not long after then once we get back it's dinner- desert- home! The only time we really get to actually do anything properly is Friday 9(when we get back from school run) &12.30(when we leave to take him nursery) so basically 3hours once you take lunch away as well!
Unfortunately he refuses to join in with anything like reading, role playing with the toys, won't (cant) talk not even when it comes to making animal noises/saying names. Basically, unless it's ramming cars into things or banging on toys he really isn't interested and just 'ers' at me in an aggressive kind of way (as if to tell me to go away)
I have a few bits of art and a few photos from outings & soft play in his LJ but apart from that it's basically empty :( I feel so bad when my other EYs have a very colourful/busy LJ (as in the amount in it) but his hasn't and I want to put lots of positive things in it but when I've spent since April tackling a biting 'phase' (mums words) a hitting & pushing 'phase' and now a pinching 'phase', it's really difficult :(
How 'full' should a LJ be (under eyfs rules) between now & April? Should i still be trying to do things during our 7-9 slot?? With such little time and a child that really is not interested in anything unless its destruction or pain I'm really finding filling it in hard :(
