Yesterday Hope had a tough day with her schoolwork. She does her two core subjects - math and language - on the computer. Most days she does it all independently and needs little to no help. She is also a bit of a perfectionist and always excitedly comes to tell me when she gets an A, 100%. This isn't pressure that we've put on her or high expectations we've established - but rather her very driven personality.
So yesterday was tough - the lesson was especially hard and she was just frustrated that she couldn't understand it. She came to me crying about halfway through saying she already had 17 problems that were wrong. She didn't even want to finish the lesson! We talked, we took a break, then we went back and looked over the lesson together and I helped her understand what was going on and what was needed.
Then later in the day I came across this great article on Heart of the Matter ... it's SO worth reading so I hope you'll take a couple minutes and be encouraged!
Blessings, Kathy
