Yeah, what they said! Seriously, we went through this with DS7 to an extent. He was afraid to do things that he was afraid would be too hard. It was based in large part to the fact that up to that point he hadn't had to work for anything. When he was presented with a challenge, he balked. Fast forward a year and he's gotten over it, but I wonder if it had gone on for a longer period if it would have been so easily corrected.
