[quote=Anonymous]Our DD is in a DCPS in kindergarten. It is less rigorous than the charter she attended for PS/PK, where she did very well in math. To supplement what she's doing in school (not much), and so she doesn't entirely lose the progress she made in PS/PK, we have her do math worksheets and workbooks. She seems less than thrilled to be doing them, but generally complies. When she gets a question wrong, she tends to hang her head and gets very discouraged, even though we tell her it's ok to make mistakes, as long as she's trying. Are we pushing too hard, or is this reasonable? We're talking about 15-20 minutes a day, 3 times a week, but she already has a long day with before care, K, and aftercare til about 6. Thanks for your thoughts.[/quote]
