My 7 year old boy has a relatively bad attitude. He seems to be happy to always get away with doing the minimum possible, he moans about every task he is set, and constantly complains that life is unfair. He will cry easily when told he has to complete a task or challenged in any way.
At school he does as little as is necessary to satisfy his teacher (barely) and no more.
Any advice - is it a stage he is going through?
I feel bad because its really hard not to moan at him, I think he needs to be loved and reassured through this, but it is so frustrating to watch and live with.
