MOMMY: Daughter reportedly had a good day at school. Both my "flies on the wall" had encouraging things to say about schoolwork and her eating. It just all went south after she got home. I'm telling you, this fourth grade math ...
Actually what happened was she completed her "morning work" assignment -- division problems during class. So that was a good thing. Unfortunately she did them all incorrectly. So she needed to rework them tonight. I think the real issue for us is just trying to explain to her where she went wrong. And then once she gets it, going through the steps. Again, I have found that if I leave her side during these assignments they don't get done correctly. I just need to be there keeping her on track. I would love it if we could get to the point where that wasn't necessary. Not because I don't want to sit with her, but because I know it can't be good for her confidence. Not to mention the fact that I can't be with her when she takes her tests.
There's another little issue we're having around here: anxiety, drama, fighting with her sister and her best friend. She has been very tightly wound for the last month or so. I really can't blame it all on the meds ... as it started before she began the medication. In general, she's more anxiety-prone than the average kid. But the drama seems to be increasing lately. I really want to get to the bottom of that issue with her.
