Interesting thread. It has made me ponder the element of motivation, a distinguishing characteristic for the HG+ kids. If there is no motivation within the tasks assigned would the child not become bored and careless? There is no internal drive to conquer that which is beneath their abilities or seemingly a boring task.
I also think age has a lot to do with the issue. This idea of checking your work is something so easy for us to do but younger children ... is this not part of learning to learn? Perhaps with repetition from the parents and stepping through this idea the process will become natural to the child.
