But I think that's easy for an adult but much less so than a 7yr old. After spending 6hrs+ being unchallenged, then to come home to more of the same as homework, was just too much for him. And it never sunk in that the longer he balked, the less time he had for more fun things. But he just couldn't understand why he had to do it in the first place.

His teacher even noted that he would sit there forever doing a worksheet. Finally, she'd take it from him, incomplete. She'd then hand him a more challenging worksheet and he'd fly through it.
