Doing exactly that, by coming in and helping them with it (initially doing most of the work) as they get into the habit if it being a regular task, actually seems to work pretty well (at least, in the n=1 experiment conducted with my son).

Not sure what the basis for “obviously non-sensical” is, other than the (very common) fetishization of struggle.
