[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As I noted in my first post I'm not fixated on the number of sight words or spelling, it's that DD is not interested or enthusiastic AT ALL about these things, even at school. [/quote] Lots of people have told you that this is normal. Does that not constitute a supportive exchange?[/quote] Plenty of nasty comments and name calling along the way, including the from the first PP (though I got flamed for responding to the sarcasm and nastiness - go figure). I had to dig through posts of insults and accusations that I'm a tiger mom (though as I stated in my OP, I'm far from it) to get some very thoughtful responses. And even those who've responded that this is normal have lobbed an insult my way. So no, not a terribly supportive exchange. Bottom line: I don't need the abuse when seeking advice, particularly not when the issue I'm raising is something that I'd imagine plenty of parents can relate to or at least have a thoughtful point of view on and can share without being nasty, dismissive, and snarky.
