[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 75168, member: 1967"] Thanks for all of the replies. Tonight was a good example how things have changed. difficult child called from her job (I guess she was between deliveries) and asked for help on how to use her graphing calculator to graph a histogram. I tried to talk her through the steps but something was going wrong and it wouldn't graph the histogram. I told her that I would have to see the calculator to figure out what she was doing wrong. She said that she would try to figure it out herself and if she couldn't, she would come over after work. In the past, I would have worried all night about whether she was going to get the problem figured out. I even thought about looking online to try to find the TI-83 instruction book to see if I could figure out what she was doing wrong. Then I stopped myself and realized that I had my own paper to work on. I told myself to let her handle this. She called me a little while later to tell me that she had figured it out herself. I could hear the pride in her voice. She also said that she had gotten a 100 on a quiz that she had this week (I didn't ask ~ honest!). It's funny ~ education is the only thing I really obsess about when it comes to difficult child or easy child. I guess it's the teacher in me. I am thrilled at how hard she is working on her classes.
