[QUOTE="keista, post: 432210, member: 11965"] I don't think it's different from the reality, I think outsiders just see different things. I think we need to look at our kids through different eyes sometimes, to see the gifts they do have. Your example reminds me of my son. Seemed like he wanted to learn everything EXCEPT what was being actively taught to him. By the end of pre-k he was finally able to do simple drawings (hated it) but he had learned all his states and their respective capitals (from his Leappad). He could even pick them out on a map at random, BUT he still did not "want" to put any effort into the stuff he was supposed to do. Of course, it took him two more years to understand what a state and a capital was, but he could name them all. [/QUOTE]
