not because he can't but because he doesn't want to and doesnt think its important. Or he is just masking how hard all this is for him?

I hear you DeHe, but he is 5. It's ok to recognize that his work ethic isn't what you want it to be and try to find ways to nurture, but dont' panic, ok?.
Absolutely no panicking! It does sound silly to write it down - love this board - when I say this stuff to my DH I get the "look" !!
We are looking for ways to engage him, he is getting more into Lego and his snap circuits. Although if we wanted to focus him on something else we never should have gotten him the Horrible Science box set!!! So fascinating discussions about B and T cells but not so much coloring.
I think my biggest struggle with parenting DS is when is he 5 and when is he not. He's not 5 more than he is, your using work ethic reminds me of that, it's appropriate to talk about with an older kid but maybe not so much for 5!!
