I've been thinking about this comment, and a comment you made previously 
about Aaron running from flashcards. I'm wondering if he equates flashcards 
and alphabet with schooling, and that causes him bad memories? Others here 
have spoken of the time it takes kids to make the transition from school at 
school to learning at home, and I am wondering if you just might want to drop 
the idea of flashcards and paperwork altogether for awhile, while Aaron 
adjusts? Or....
You also mentioned in another post about Aaron being tested for dyslexia and 
color blindness - have you had his eyes checked at all by an optometrist? If 
you did that, perhaps you could rule out any other forms of vision problems. 
Though age 7 or 8 is usually where a vision problem shows up, it can also 
show up earlier.
