It all brought about because I commented about how DS doesn�t like to do crafts, which he will spend at most 10 mins on them. The teacher mentioned that�s normal for his age.

Then I started to say how he can spend an hour on puzzles/mazes/etc, and she said that�s normal as well. For example, children his age ask to be read to repeatedly (for an hour?)

Like ellemenope wrote above, I think there is a difference between being read to vs reading an encyclopedia by yourself for an hour.
