My daughter loves learning but the second that she has to do something, she becomes resistant. So for instance, she's a voracious reader and will easily read 2-3 chapter books in a weekend and is constantly reading during the week as well. At school, she gets reading homework which involves reading out loud to us in the evening for 10-15 minutes. She gets to pick the book and she likes the book, but argues and complains and has to be forced to do this because its 'homework'.
Are other people's children the same. The second they have to do something, even if its something they really enjoy, they are really put-off?
