LOL, glitter. I think the honest measure is very important. We are striving for frankness at our house too.

At the same time, my DS11 needs calibration about where the "enough effort" line is. I could see him phoning it in at a job someday. I could also see him becoming an extreme workaholic because he was so afraid someone wouldn't like his work. What I'd like for him is in between. We try to talk with him about where the "good enough" line would be for a given task...

In my own life I had to learn to find "adequacy." I kind of wish that for him too.
