OK thanks. Sent from my A1-830 using Tapatalk

Why? Just curious.It's reading. The other one is straight up math. Very little bells and whistles. I know too much screen time isn't good for developing brains. But does That include educational/engaging software? Sent from my A1-830 using Tapatalk

One thing I know about my daughter is she's more of a traditional learner...with grades and check marks. I am the opposite. So finding resources that are self grading....programs where she look back at progess. So any ideas about that would be great. So far we have teaching textbooks and reading eggs. These are both a new development to her HS. TT was maybe 2-3 weeks ago...and RE was yesterday. Don't know if this is good or bad. But she's been spending hours doing lesson after lesson. Hope the novelty doesn't wear off. Maybe might make it a Monday thing. Since Mondays are a challenge here. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

Just want to give a quick update. In the short time that I posted my original question, ive started to make some changes. I found a mother's helper that starts on Monday. once a week for 3 hours. its better than nothing. I also got daughter doing some of her reading lessons online through reading eggs. so she started that and teaching textbooks continues. So thats that so far.

Also agree.very wise and helpful words.Thank you for sharing so much of your experience. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

Well,When I was diagnosed 5 year's ago the doctor told me my symptoms were soft even at that time. Since then I have read lots, been to therapy and counselling and been on meds when it was necessary. In the last 2 years Or maybe more I no longer even meet the diagnosis criteria which means ....technically if I walked in off the street and described my symptoms they would could not say I had a certain mental illness, you have to have X many symptoms to have it.... I for years have not had X many symptoms. I have not had to see a doctor for a couple years because of this. So BPD experiences are relative and on a spectrum. I should not have included BPD in original post because too many people jump to conclusions . Thank you for your advice. It was a mistake to ask my question on here. You are all good intentioned people trying to help. ..... but this has been the wrong medium. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

But you have to be genuinely hungry, enjoying it, and not wanting to share. Otherwise they might think you are trying to get them to try your cucumbers and see through your trick. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

We started introducing different spicy foods to kids when they were babies. But now that they are older... the trick is to make something strange put it in a small dish ...sit on couch and covet the food sample... and initially turn them down... but eventually let them try a bite. It exposes them . And somehow dad's food normally taste better.( maybe not in your situation. Sorry) my kids always seem to want to eat our food. Or if you want to try a simple new dish cook a single serving 30 -1hr before the kid's lunch and sit down to eat it. Make sure you announce loudly to kids " it's daddy's lunch , not your lunch yet, yours is in an hour." Then watch them flock around, hungry all of a sudden, willing to take any scrap your willing to share. (Hubby eats lunch at different time than us. )(I'll add he doesn't purposely use these methods to get kids to try food, he's just trying to eat and they come around ) So in these two ways I've seen my kids learn to like salad , feta cheese,olives,.... stuff I won't even eat. Bread dipped in olive oil aND vinegar...yuck....beans, cucumbers, raw peppers..... Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk
