I watch her and she starts day dreaming or playing with her pencil...if the littlest sound occurs she loses all focus on what she is doing....teachers think there is a problem, I do, and now I don't know the next step...she's 10y/o in 4th grade.
She asked me the other night "Mommy am I dumb", ....this is breaking my heart...of course I told her that she was very bright, I just think we need some help. I get so frustrated with the time she day dreams and la-li gags, then I feel guilty for getting upset...so if you can give me any advice as to what to do, I'd be thank ful. Someone mentioned a Neurologist...is that my next step? Please help me out....this year she is having the NJ ASK test in school, which is all the school is really concerned about....I hope I can get her help so that she can get through this and future school work, I want to get her help , just don't know where I start. She also has problems falling a sleep at night, forgetfulness....anyone with ideas?
Thank you in advance...I can be reached at dawnonly@aol.com | |  | |
