[quote=Anonymous]It can ultimately be destructive to DC1 to give him the impression that he's amazing at everything. These are the kids who stop trying because ultimately they can never achieve what they've been taught to believe they can achieve. They don;t know how to fail. They don't know how much more important effort is than talent. Stop praising. You should be praising effort, not achievement. I feel sorrier for your DC1 than DC2. DC1 is your superstar, the embodiment of everything you think is "amazing" in a kid. DC2 gets to be himself. He's the lucky one.[/quote]
