[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 586653, member: 14356"] I think recognizing that they are both very smart young people and letting them know that you see how smart they are would be a great conversation opener. (I'm sure you already do this) Maybe you could then progress to everyone having strengths in certain areas and weaknesses in others but that while we know we have weaknesses it makes us sad/hurt to have them pointed out to us all the time. I like the idea of giving them 10 corrections a day or you could ask them to only correct every 10th time. Sometimes corrections don't need to be made and don't really matter in the long run. Could your kids understand that being right sometimes isn't worth it if it hurts the other person? Maybe give an example of red vs. cherry doesn't matter... then compare it to a situation that really does matter like taking 2 Advil vs. 6 Advil which could cause someone to get sick - then you're really being helpful and kind. Ever heard of that game "Would you rather?" You give 2 different scenarios and the person has to pick just one. Like would you rather eat worms or kiss a monkey? You could change that around to.... would you rather Point out this inaccuracy or that one? Then have a discussion about why? Might be something that could happen as a fun thing around the dinner table. *Not sure if that helps. I'm interested to see what others say. [/QUOTE]
