My GS is 15 and home educated for the last 4 months after a complete failure of the school to meet his needs.
Moved on from that, and he his much more settled, and happier.
He has dyslexia which must make concentration more intense.
I am tutoring him for maths, and although we are making progress, he starts to yawn after about 10 mins. These are big, fidgety yawns, which he can't seem to stop.
I read somewhere that the brain heats up like a car engine and yawning cools it. Seems a bit daft to me.
He is keen to learn and does his work that I set. No idea if he yawns then.
He isn't academic but has an apprenticeship in mind so will need his maths.
Any thoughts or suggestions from anyone would be much appreciated as I can't think of a way to stop the yawning.
