Lets call two little boys I know "A" and "B". While both are 5, B is several months older and in kindergarten. However, A is more advanced in any number of things- dressing himself, clearing his own place at the table, and even writing. However, A seems to feel certain that B is smarter than him, and is always making allusions to the fact. He is also likely to mimic B's 'wrong way' even when he knows the right way.
Example: A writes his name beautifully, including the letter 'y'. B announces to A one day that "I'll write it for you.' He writes the letter y as a cross inside a triangle. Now, this is how A writes it too.
Assume a familial relationship that precludes seperating these boys. How does one teach A not to look up to B so much????
