I am just wondering whether people "teach" their children to always try their hardest and do their best whether at school with their work or with a hobby etc? My ds is 8 and doesn't seem bothered if he does something and doesn't get full marks etc although he does love doing well overall he doesnt seem to have any incentive to do his best. I know he is too young to be worrying about good grades at gcses and the importance of education for future jobs and happiness etc but I wondered at what age the importance of giving 100% kicks in?
