Feedback:
Hobbies and projects are best enjoyed if they are small and can be finished within a short time. Most school-age children prefer putting together something fairly simple rather than something that is more complicated because the complicated one will delay the reward, and the child may become bored and never complete it. Watching television does not help the child achieve the developmental task of industry.
