[QUOTE="happymomof2, post: 122399, member: 4270"] My daughter has never given me trouble - well almost never. She is 12 and has always been my drama queen. My nickname for her is my angel with an attitude. She had to switch schools going into 4th grade and didn't do so well grade wise that year but did pass. Last year she did great. This year 6th grade and the first 9 weeks were fine, second not so great and steadily going down hill. She doesn't seem to be quite as mature as some of the other girls. Which partly I am thankful for because lord knows they all grow up to quick these days. She was a month premature and was wondering if that could have anything to do with her maturity level. Also she has never hung around older girls - it's been either girls her age or younger. Signed her weekly grade report yesterday and requested a conference. She says it's hard. I know when her and I study for a test, the ones she actually brings home something to study with, she passes with flying colors. Most of the time A's. Guess it's the same story I had when I was in school about not applying myself. I was basically a C student. If I had worked even a tad bit harder I could have had all A's and B's. I don't want to see her fail 6th grade, that would be a devastating blow to her self esteem but I can't seem to get her to understand that. Lord only knows what she is going to do on the FCAT. That horrible once a year test that is pass or fail. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated also if any of you have had any of these problems with a child that was pre-mature please let me know. Thanks [/QUOTE]
