[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an eight year old daughter.  She's starting third grade this fall and this summer we are taking her through spelling, math, and reading.  However, whenever our daughter sits with my wife and goes through subjects it's like pulling teeth.  Our daughter isn't focused, takes too long, etc.  When she is with me we go through spelling and math.  It's 30-45 minute a day and she's focused and learning.

I've had a great deal of experience mentoring others, coaching sports, and training employees. My wife doesn't have any background in teaching.  Every single time she sits with our daughter it's 1.5 to 2 hours to complete 30 minutes of work.  I look through everything and I know it could have been done much quicker.  Problem is my wife has no experience teaching and allows our daughter to get distracted.  The entire ordeal ends up with my wife angry and my daughter sad.  Then I don't want to be around them and the house is uncomfortable.

I need to tell my wife she has to learn how to teach or just stick with basics worksheets.  But, this will start a screaming match.[/quote]

Why can't you do it then?[/quote]
