Indeed. It is wearying. You see your kid make progress, and yet by then the standards and expectations have risen so that he's "behind" them again.

Keep noting the progress he makes by HIS yardstick, not the world's. Look back a year or three and note that things are different now. You are doing a great job supporting him, and it's important for your well-being and his that his progress be acknowledged.
