[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Are we pushing too hard, or is this reasonable[/b]? 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] It is reasonable for some kids. It is not reasonable for other kids. The question is, is it reasonable for [i]your[/i] kid? What do you think? You know your kid best. You know how she's reacting.[/quote]
