[quote=Anonymous]I have a child that has fine motor delays so could not have written a note really at third grade. I still remember a mom teasing him on a hike because his shoes weren’t tied. He honestly could not tie his shoes so I tied them for him but it was embarrassing to have his mom do it in front of all the other boys. He is academically advanced and very athletic but could not do things like that (puzzles and legos were also a challenge). Anyway you don’t really know. It’s a good opportunity to remind your daughter everyone is dealing with different stuff. So long as the note wasn’t mean, I’d use it as a teaching oportunjy. The same way she’d want teammates to have some empathy for her not having a great week at a meet, she can have some empathy for a teammate that is not a great writer or maybe had a bad week in some other unknwn way. And maybe appreciate the mom who stepped up and tried to fill in the gap. [/quote]
