I had to fight with DS5.5 to do his 5 minute homework yesterday... but apparently he was upset b/c writing the number 8 is difficult for him to do. I don't know if it's just because the number itself is hard or whether it's a separate issue all together, but I finally convinced him that it was ok not to be great at it (perfectionism in him for sure), and that he will only get better if he kept practicing. At the end, he was excited to do it.
