A negative side effect of Elazar reluctantly practicing reading is that he no longer likes to do Mishna. He feels "overloaded" from the 5-10 minutes. (I've actually skipped learning the meaning of his parsha with him this week [which I'd been doing 2x a week, reading out loud to him and translating 3 or so pesukim] since he's been so unhappy and complaining about learning.)
This is a feature that his older sister had, too. I wonder if it's an aspect of ADHD that they run out of steam so quickly learning things that are difficult for their brains and need the rest of the day or actual days or weeks to recover. Her motivation and determination improved with age (and medication) but the mental exhaustion remains about the same.
