[QUOTE="Megs87, post: 743993, member: 22386"] You are so right there. She is not gifted in academics. She is still struggling to read and though I know she can do it a lot of it is her fear of getting the word wrong or spelling it wrong. She is really hard on herself if she fails at something. I try and assure her that it's okay to get it wrong that she will soon get it right with her determination that I know she has. Her test will come home unfinished or with a lot of things skipped and not even attempted to do. She does this because she will fear that she is wrong on the answer so she would rather just skip it and not try. The test will he unfiniished because when she is struggling with something and for example only be on question or problem #5 of #20. She will see her class mates turn their sheet over and put their heads down as they were instructed to do when they are finished. So that tells her that they are doing it and getting it so why cant she. Then she is getting upset thinking about this and focusing on not showing it on the outside which in result puts her even further behind and she ends up only completing a portion of it. Hopefully this will change soon and we can finally get that 504 that for some reason is so flipping hard to get in place. [/QUOTE]
