[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks to all for your thoughts, all very helpful. And particularly to the post about breaking my DD spirit... I didn't mention that in my original post, but yes, that is very much on my mind. It's a critical time in her formation of love of learning, and self-confidence. In my conference with the teacher, I did let her know that I thought there might be better ways to address this than simply telling my DD on a regular basis that she needs to "focus" more, that she is "distracted" and that she needs better listening ears. That is clearly a narrative that she is picking up. I have done a little googling on strategies to help inattentive kids, and we'll start there, in addition to keeping an eye on things in the next year or so. [/quote]
