Does anyone have recommendations on encouraging an eleven year old to take on small achievable projects? He’s endlessly lamenting he can’t do things that are either huge, or actually impossible, but I can’t for the life of me get him to try smaller things to build up to bigger ones and get a sense of achievement.
In everything he wants to skip past the getting good at it stage and go straight to best in the world. Which, you know, I sympathise with, but it’s just resulting in endless disappointments as he realise he isn’t (yet) the best in the world.
