Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Advice for when "It's too hard!"

My DS does the same thing. I've noticed he says "it's too hard" when he's attemping something he's uncomfortable doing. For him drawing the other half of an object made him nervous because he thought there was a right and a wrong answer. I think that for my son the "it's too hard" statement is said when he's fearful of trying and failing. The other thing is that he very rarely comes up against a challenge and doesn't really know what to do with one!
