Cricket2- I thought my ds was type #2. Yet, this year in kindergarten, he has complained since August that he's not learning, when will he learn, etc. I think both #1 and #2 are valid. That is based on self motivation. Yet, as a younger child, I think wanting to catch lizards always seems more (unless you're afraid of lizards- my ds- lol). Yet, I know exactly want you mean. I also think its interesting how things can quickly change.
