whoa!
stop treating your six year old like that...if i were six, i would see that as really patronizing...at least pretend to treat him like an adult...dont talk down to him...even kids as young as two can tell when you are talking down to them...and it definitely sound like you are. Wow! Do you have kids? I think this is a great approach, I am thinking of using it on my 12 year old. I find myself explaining to him too much when he knows the answers already he is just testing me....Less is more sometimes. I used a similar approach when my boys were much younger, I believe I will try this with them again. If they find it condescending they may correct what it is they are doing wrong. I have to repeat myself waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy too many times with them. They do know better, they just are choosing unwisely. As far as for a six year old, it is almost a game of wits! A good early learn, I love it!
