I'm the same way, Kim: as long as he's at grade level in terms of output, that's okay with me. It's often not okay with HIM--that's where greater challenge has to come in. There are some things he really craves more of, and I try to meet those needs. But in areas that aren't his favorite, at-grade is fine with both of us. We meet the requirements and move on. It gives him more time to dedicate to the things he enjoys.

Great story, Shari. laugh
