| The clue you see | What it means | Do tonight |
|---|---|---|
| Says "I can't do it" before trying | It feels too big. Fear looks like refusal. | Do the first problem together. Then step back. |
| Cries over one worksheet | The tank is empty after a long school day. | Snack and 20 minutes of play first. |
| Erases over and over | Worried it won't be perfect. | Praise effort, not neatness. "You stuck with it." |
| Gets up every two minutes | Sitting still that long is the hard part. | Work in 10-minute chunks with movement breaks. |
| Lies about having homework | Avoiding the fight, not the work. | Check the folder together, same time daily. |
