[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 111820, member: 3626"] Hi and welcome. Believe it or not, a lot of what you're describing is pretty typical for a 5 YO. Some at that age are very articulate and can describe things in chronological order. Many don't even come close. I found it best with my daughter to get her to break things down. As was said, ask very specific questions about school. If she told a story, her little mind was going wayyyyyyy faster than her mouth. So, the story would be all jumbled. Whenever she got me confused, I would put up one finger (our signal for let me say something) and start asking questions. That helped get the story in order and teach her about chronology. It took awhile and sometimes even today her mind wins over her mouth but at least most of the time stories are told where they make sense. As was said, you've found a great support group. Lots of good advice and, more importantly, comfort. [/QUOTE]
