"When a student makes really silly blunders or is exasperatingly slow, the trouble is almost always the same; he has no desire at all to solve the problem, even no desire to understand it properly, and so he has not understood it. Therefore, a teacher wishing seriously to help the student should, first of all, stir up his curiosity, give him some desire to solve the problem."

"Never bribe children to learn; it sets the stage for them to depend on rewards of one kind or another to learn. This sets them up to be good performers and poor learners."

"Giftedness is an ongoing process and not a product. The process leads in a direction that differs from the direction of the majority, but which can also integrate with it and bring about change."

"The goal, after all, is to do what we can to facilitate the child's growing into the fulfilled, independent, emotionally sound person he or she was designed to be. When my children were younger, I focused on scores, too. It is natural, I think, to do so. But eventually, as they grew and matured and did what they wanted to do, I finally learned what it a joy it is to simply watch what they do, who they are, and where they are going still."
~Dr. Deborah Ruf

This came to mind when a good friend lamented to me her struggle with her dd's ECA choices.
The difference between an adult and a child :-
Adults do what they have to do
Children do what they want to do
