So, I know I'm lucky on this, but DD6 is very social and does not really care that school is so easy for her. She'll roll her eyes at the work she's expected to do but she likes helping her best friend (who is actually a bit behind).
So that's great. Main issue is how to encourage a growth mindset with her when academics come easy. I note that she gets challenged in other areas. She's physically fit but not a natural at most sports so she pushes herself to run better, do better at gymnastics, etc. Also, she has the personality that homework would be a challenge to get her to do, but because it's so easy she'll eventually just get it done. But she's in physical therapy now and she hates doing the exercises so she's learning that responsibility and perserverence by having to work on her daily exercises. My husband says that since she gets challenged in other areas, it's perfectly fine that school is too easy for her as long as she's happy. Thoughts?
