For children who are inattentive, it is hard to see when they are putting in effort.[/quote]

I can see this being true when you don't know they're inattentive. When you know, I think it's not that hard.

Larla! You remembered your backpack even when you also had to grab your project and your raincoat.

Hey, did you notice you finished your entire math worksheet, Larla?

Thank you for putting away all the silverware in the drainer, Larla.

Larla, I was happy that when I reminded you to finish cleaning your room you got right back on task.

Planning out your project ahead of time was a good idea, Larla. Did you remember that you have a volleyball tournament and the SAT the next two weekends? I can pull up your calendar if you want to make sure your project plan fits into your whole life.[/quote]

For the inattentive child, those things happen very infrequently. In one day maybe one of those things is done well, two things go desperately wrong to where the entire family has to get involved to help solve the problems changing the entire day leaving the inattentive child upset, and the other child has a great day where they try hard at everything and enjoy it all and get compliments from other parents except for when they have to amuse themselves while parents deal with the other child or help out themselves. It's not that there aren't compliments to give the other child, there are just fewer of them.[/quote]
