Plan C involves setting aside an unsolved problem completely, at least temporarily. As you’ve read, Plan C is neither giving in nor giving up. It’s prioritizing. If you try solving all of your child’s unsolved problems at once, you’ll solve none of them at all. When you use Plan C, you’ve consciously, intentionally, and deliberately decided to set aside a given expectation either because you have other, higher-priority expectations to pursue or because you’ve decided it was unrealistic in the first place.
