Yesterday I had my first child tutoring session. It was interesting to say the least. I severely underestimated how difficult it would be to keep Astin's attention. Astin is very distracted and I constantly had to try to spur his attention span. Since Erika and I both tutor him, Erika had told me that he likes Star Wars, so I made my activities Star Wars themed. The star wars themed activities did help him focus a little, but at some hard words he would give up entirely and I would lose his attention. For next time I definitely need to make a more interesting activity to hold his attention, but it will definitely be difficult to think of something that is both fun and useful to him.
