Critterfixer Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I admit, I do prefer to think the immaturity is a result of high intelligence rather than just ADHD. (But, I'm questioning the ADHD diagnosis, so...yeah.) I've been doing a lot of reading on right-brained learners, Auditory Processing and the brain, and tons of other brain based books. I'm overflowing with brains. lol As for the destiny thing, lol Not sure where that came from today, but I do know she has seem too many hours of Lego Ninjago. ;) Later this morning, she said "I think I have discovered my full potential." (Full potential is basically the destiny of each Ninjago) I said, "You did?" "I did. My full potential is arts and crafts. I am amazing at arts and crafts. THAT, Mom, is my full potential." :lol: :lol: Of course, now, she is growling at her rocking horse - a rocking horse that she used when she was 2 and is way too small for her, but she insists on keeping in the play room. Oh...and now she is attacking it like a tiger. You could tell her that her destiny is to become the full potential of Riv. And that's a pretty amazing destiny. After all, there's only one Riv. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanalouwho Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I've been forcing my kids into a screen fast. While we were doing school today, every time we finished a subject I asked if he wanted to take a break. Every time he answered, "No, I want to do the next box." During our last box, he let it slip that he was trying to work hard so I would let him play video games after. Sneaky little devil.

Susan in TN Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Three most important things to bring with you when moving to settle in the wilderness in the early 1800's are a good sharp knife, an ax, and seeds. It's good to have other things but without these 3 your chance of survival are pretty slim. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 She does like to write. Maybe we ahould just do more of that. Maybe I could help her make a storybook. Both of my boys preferred writing to reading when they were younger. I remember thinking that it totally went against what I'd been led to believe about boys, but we'd just go with it. Both of them really began to take off when they got older (7,8, 9). Comics helped because of the visual with the words, I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the one who doesn't want to learn to read? I didn't teach mine to read, I taught him to spell phonetically with Reading Lessons Through Literature. It's a Spalding spinoff. After understanding the method he just starting reading. He was reading the KJV at 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Me: "Sigh. It looks like kitty was messing around with the printer again. Looks like we have a copycat." My twins will often write the same story or sentences, and make the exact same mistakes when I know they can’t be copying. Are your boys identical, or did you mean copying off the internet or something? I had to warn my girls’ teachers to expect it. I think there’s something spooky with twin brains; at least w/ ID twin ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 That’s interesting. Is it meant to be used like thst, or did you adapt it? Yep, this is the 6yo who doesn’t want to learn to read. That's how it's supposed to be used. The Writing Road To Reading is the oldest of the method that's still popular. Logic of English is the current popular one. I believe that's how Webster's Speller worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky enough to be able to provide for my baby, but there were a lot of moms in NICU who could not and milk is very hard to come by. Our local milk bank never had enough supply, so they were forced out onto the open market. FWIW, get in contact with the local doula/midwife community. They can likely hook you up with clients. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to the grocery store and was getting everything on my list until I came to the item that said "Amazon". And I'm thinking what? And I was trying to figure out what she could have misheard. It wasn't until I was home with the groceries that I realized that it must have been yams. Fortunately dh bought some yams unbeknownst to me and instead of having yucky yams spill over my newly mopped floor, I am cooking them up for our yummy smashed yams. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
