DS8 is PG and an autodidact.
He's also intensely independent. He sees everyone as a peer and resists presumed authority by any adult (including mom and dad) as unreasonable and unfair.
Like some teenagers, he values his personal freedom over his desire to please others.
Has anyone else experienced this with young PG kids and if so, have you found effective techniques to be a more effective parent (and teacher)?
As I write this and use the teenager analogy, I think it might help to take him on more camping trips and other outdoor adventures. These are situations where a child's natural dependence on adults rises rapidly to the surface.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
