This isn't a boast but I am concerned! DS is free reading (after lime band here), gets 10/10 in his spellings every week without even practising them, does the maths homework he gets without thinking about it but still gets it correct. I know this is good and, up until now, have just been pleased he's doing well. But now I'm worried that's he's coasting. He knows all the 'academic' stuff they give him or picks it up instantly and part of me wishes he would get something wrong.
I want him to have to work at things NOW rather than a year down the line when he's gotten complacent and thinking he knows it all.
So, would you be asking for more challenging work? Or should I just leave him be and deal with it when he finally does get stuck with something?
He's 5 and in year 1 btw
