[quote=Anonymous]Following...DS just turned 9. After repeated attempts at getting him to do more challenging things, now he does a few extra credit math problems or something similar so he doesn't disappoint me. Not what I wanted at all. He also chooses the easiest books to read or ones that he has read a million times and them memorized. I have hidden many of these books, but can only hide so many because he has a younger sibling. Trying to teach persistence and that hard work pays off is not so easy when your child wants instant gratification or doesn't fully understand why they should do more than what's asked.[/quote]
