[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 540007, member: 14557"] This is something I find to be one of difficult child's greatest strength. While he is hard press to show responsibility or be accountable in many things, when he is motivated, it really changes and he can really take criticism and correction well and work with it. It doesn't crush him and make him hopeless, he just takes it in and tries his best to correct himself. I don't think I could do that anywhere as well as he does. I thank mostly sports of this skill. difficult child's position in his sport is such that he has always gotten a lot of individual attention, teaching and correction in it. And because he loved the game he was really trying to take it in from the beginning. He was also lucky to have coaches that were good at reading kids and giving them just a right amount of correction and reassurance. I think taking criticism is one of the greatest skills sports and music teach kids. Because kids are usually motivated to do well in those and like them, they can take harder criticism than in school or from parents. And they are learning to take it and also learn that being corrected is not that bad and can lead to good things. Whenever my kids' sport careers will end, this is maybe the most important skill they have both learned from it and I'm sure will serve them well their whole life. [/QUOTE]
