[quote=Anonymous]DS9 gets good grade at school without trying. Public school teachers are probably overburned. I rarely see him working on homework, reading or anything academic related at home. All he does is play at school and play at home with tons of screentime. His math and reading/writing are above age level. He does recreational sports in soccer in fall/spring and swimming all seasons. He never practices, but he just enjoy taking classes/playing with other kids. I hate exercise, so I am not a good model. He has some shining strength, but he does not want to work on it or go further on any interests. I want him to work on independence/maturity/social skill, he acts like 1-2 years younger. Social skill is my weakness, I don't know how to work with it He is happy and silly. I think he gets to the age that he could start to learn something instead of just pure playing. Should I priortize strengthening academic, practices on sports or social skill/independences at this age 9 boy? If you can pick one, which one and how? [/quote]
