[quote=Anonymous] Thanks for the perspective. I may be taking this to heart more than necessary. There is so much pressure! I feel like he's building a reputation with the teachers as a very bright boy who has poor classroom habits. I don't want him dismissed. The thing is, school was a sanctuary for me. More toys, more attention, independence, belonging. I grew up in the typical, 70s, adult-focused household. I always did well in school, as was the expectation, but I also always had a good time there. I'm having a hard time with this little brainiac misbehaving like this. Simply refusing to do work? It's rude. It's not like him to be so contrary, especially when it relates to something he's so obviously good at. I need to let go of my own baggage and focus on him. How do you instill work ethic? It's so much easier to drill sight words! I'm failing him and I don't know what to do. [/quote]
