Thanks MON - that's kinda what we have been doing. I was excited because they both met their personal goals on the day of the competition and I made sure to tell them that. We do loads of activities and games with no winner, with the focus on the activity and not the output etc (as a way to help with the perfectionism thing)
I couldn't tell them they cannot do x because one of their brothers does it - I just simply couldn't. Up till now they have both wanted to do what the other expresses interest in - they are close in age (22 months) and very close as brothers go too.
What about moving forward - Aiden is aware that Nathan is faster academically as well. sometimes he is okay with it and will call his younger brother to read a word for him or help him with some maths, other times he is adamant that he must stay ahead. I know there are no easy answers, I think I just need some strategies to put into play regularly.
