[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a very bright child for whom many things are easy. I was very similar when I was a child. I was not asked to stretch early or often enough. By he time I reached high school, I had become intellectually lazy. By that, I mean that I only pursued subjects that were interesting and easy for me. I never learned to persevere through subjects that were harder or somewhat boring. I want my daughter to be chellaneed so that she learns to push through difficulties, and doesn't avoid anything that isn't easy for her.[/quote] Have you seen the research on praise? I am wondering if your issues are from people telling you you were smart more than it was them not challenging you. Kids, even young adults, who are told they are inherently smart give up way more easily than those who are told they worked hard. Just a thought. I could be totally off base.[/quote]
