[quote=Anonymous]7yo DD hates to hear (or consider) that she might need to work harder for results, whether in music lessons, in a sport, homework, etc. She gravitates to what she's good at, gets easily frustrated with the rest, and has a hard time hearing constructive criticism or even low-key suggestions to try something different for a different outcome. We want to be fostering more of a hard work ethic, and the notion that we all have things we have to work at to improve - we can't all be naturally good at everything, and quitting something when you're not good from the start is a miserable way to approach life. Have you found any good books or other resources that have helped you navigate these conversations and dynamics with your early elementary kids?[/quote]
