When wife does not have a domestic help,i gladly do the chores so that i don’t have to teach the kids.
The boy is specially difficult, actually he is the one who is difficult. The girl knows whatever is taught at school, doesher homework herself. She does everything without anyone even noticing.
The boy just does not concentrate andwants to play all dayandon top of that wants to have best grades in class. and if he doesn’t, he blames his mom, tum ney mujhey parhyaya kiyouN nahin tha
I love teaching i am a pre-kindergarten teacher and this is the toughest step because the child is learning from the beginning- and you know what- i think both parents should devote their time into teaching their children because the child learns to grow onto it and with parents to help them- they have fun and look forward to it- so please i advise all parents here - to take sum time help your children- read a book-- play a little singing game anything-- trust me the child will want to do it everyday because your giving then the time they want :) good luck :)
Learning through play and exploration is the way forward.
Boys are generally reluctant readers/writers.
Every type of learning should be put into context. Make it meaningful.
Reading could be shopping lists, comic books, football cards, TV guide!!
Maths could be shopping, how much do you think that weighs? Time it will take for him to brush his teeth...stuff like that.
I teach 5-6 year olds and this week in Maths we have been doing Data Handling. Monday, we tasted different flavours of crisps to find out our favourite flavour - Sciene and Maths in one. On Tuesday we sorted Smarties into colours and then again in size order to see which colour we had more of and Tuesday we sorted leaves, into SO many different critera (smelly/non smelly was the most fun) Autumn is great for sorting leaves! Today we sorted pasta onto graph paper - it was different coloured and different shapes. No pens, no recording, no 'sums'. All good fun. Lots of open ended 'what can we see/find out?' type of stuff.
Turn his play into learning. And read, read, read and read some more.
How old is he? I could recommend some books for him. I am quite knowledgeable when it comes to childrens fiction.

i noticed when you talk about your children. u havent once said there are your children...
u havent said how old the Children are. children do what they see. and parents are their first teachers and role models.
He is 7 almost. He loves doing math andscience coz he is good at it, but does not like readingand writing.
These days i read with him 1-2 chapters of Magic Tree House series. What irks me i try to explain to him the meanngs of difficult words but he just doesn't want to listen and if he finds a difficult word to read he just skips it
^^^ find out what his interests are, or may be research on his favourite subject, and make it fun! collect books on his interest and take part in reading with him. i cant stress enough how important it is to make learning fun for children.
boys are more active learners and there concentration wont last as long as girls. so dont compare the two children.
try this for some good resources to help in reading and writing:) http://http://www.sparklebox.co.uk/

Typical boy behaviour. Do not force him to read and write, it may push him in the opposite direction. What are his interests?
Chapter books wont work if hes not intersted. You can read them to him, but for him to read, go for things he is interested in. There are som great picture books out there for 7 year olds.
well when you talk about your family you use words such as the wife, the boy, the girl came across a little cold.... may b it was just me who sensed that :)
any way i didnt mean it in a bad way :)

Actually when i am more affectionate with my kids i call them "Mundiya" and "kuriye", and when writing in English it just came out as the boy and girl
