I sit at the table with DS8 while he does his homework. Very rarely does he ask for help. The major difference i've noticed is that when i'm not in my spot, he's much more willing to give up. My presence gives him the ability to persist. At some point he's going to have to realize that he is doing it without me but for now this works....

Lets me hold on to my little boy just a tiny bit longer!
