Perfectionist kid and homework
My kids are perfectionists, and they don't know how to not put in 110% effort. That's generally a good thing, except when it comes to homework. For a short answer, DS will write a paragraph. He loves to write and will spend time creating Quality work. Math comes very easily to him so he does that in no time, and it's a lot harder to expand on the assignments
I'm concerned about high school, which is around the corner. DD (who is in 12th) gets so much homework and she is also like this but to a slightly lesser extent. However, there have been many times when she unnecessarily stressed herself out and put way too much time into a project that the teacher barely had time to glance at.
DS can't possibly put in as much effort as he does now and complete the assignments and extracurriculars… Even now, he stays up too late doing homework. But how to change a personality trait? Has anyone else encountered this?
