I started something different with him on his weekly homework assignments: before answering any questions, he has to underline the key element of the instructions & review *that* with me first. We've only been doing this for a handful of assignments, but it seems to have eliminated a bunch of the silly mistakes.
Exactly!
I wonder about kids not seeing the forest for the trees when it comes to checking their work. So I've been trying to say "This is a tree; that's a tree" when I work with DS9.
I don't know if this difficulty is specific to him in our family. DS7 doesn't seem to have it, but he's more pensive than his brother in some ways.
