Having the gir...I'm glad it's not just me. Having the girls in school, I was able to miss some of the weird brain things. Homeschooling them again has really highlighted areas to work on. For example, I rapidly discovered early in the year that Katie has auditory processing issues. So instead of listening to what to do, her coping strategy is to watch what others do and then do that. Which she got away with in a classroom setting. However, most 12/13 year olds get tired of their little 9/10 year old siblings constantly copying them, and rightfully so. Now that she's at her own table, she has to pay more attention when I'm speaking. I've also started writing a lot of their assignments on the board, so they can do the reading independently, and then we can go over what they learned together. I'm trying to balance making accommodations and teaching her to "do hard things." grtlyblesdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386260509307925901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626820356307919755.post-27904652275625516772020-10-17T04:48:51.155-07:002020-10-17T04:48:51.155-07:00If you're a terrible mother, then I am, too. :...If you're a terrible mother, then I am, too. :) Oh! That answer that the ground will catch her is perfection!!!<br /><br />And, boy-oh-boy, do I ever understand literal kids and perseverating on a subject! That conversation about the passports could have happened in my house.<br /><br />While I understand your frustration with the pictures, I do think the girls are darling and that the pictures will be treasures in years to come.
