[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Background: DD is in first grade and struggling academically.  We are in MCPS and have had an EMT meeting where some interventions were put in place but there have been no evaluations done as yet.  We are on the waiting list at KKI and CNMC.

I reached out to DD's teacher yesterday to see how things are going and she responded a little better but that my daughter needs to work on her organizational skills.  I feel almost like she is saying that the problem is at home.  I fully admit that I am worried I am doing something wrong so perhaps I'm reading her comment the wrong way.  We aren't as organized as we should be at home.  But could that really be contributing to my daughter's lack of focus and organization at school?  She loses and forget things FREQUENTLY.  And she needs significant repetition to learn.  Why isn't the teacher saying they are concerned about her focus and that they will evaluate?  How are they helping her at school to be organized?  We have a follow up meeting at the end of Feb and I may bring some of this up.

I guess I'm just wondering if I have created this problem with my daughter by not being the most organized mom.  Or are these kinds of things (lack of focus and attention) innate.  Or both??

Not your fault, you sound like a great mum. My hubby and I are organized, neat people. Our two children are a friggin' mess.  At school and at home.  My daughter's desk at school looked like a bomb went off in it.  She was complaining she had no coloring pencils, well, during a classroom event,  we took everything out and found all her colored pencils.  They are not good at managing their time no matter how hard we try to teach them.  I think it is developmental to a point, they are both very bright academically, but lagging behind in other areas.[/quote]
