[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 480036"] Buddy, that is EXACTLY what I told him when he came to me about this. He knows that he needs help in one area and he's smart enough to ask for help. I told him that there are adults in this world who refuse to ask for help when they need it, so the fact that he recognizes this is a big thing for him. It's actually helped in another way. A few weeks ago I posted about telling difficult child that easy child needs a little more quiet and time to get his homework done because it just does not come as easy for easy child as it does for difficult child. difficult child then turned around and told PM that "Mom said you were stupid." Yesterday we were eating dinner and I said to easy child that I was going to start to work with math flashcards with him because he's having trouble with his math facts. Later, difficult child asked why I needed to help him. I explained to him, "Well, you know how you need a little extra help with spleeing?" He nodded. I continued, "easy child needs a little extra help with math. Same thing. Different subject." All of a sudden difficult child (who is a math WIZ) jumped up and said that he would help easy child and he would make him flashcards and he was going to help him! I was so nice to see him finally understand it. Tiredmommy, thanks for that site. I'll check it out. [/QUOTE]
