Mandee, I just saw this thread. You've received some good advice. Great advice from Suzy. And an informative note from Trinity's teacher.
I've dealt with the very bright child. My daughter struggled to be intrigued in class in elementary school if she wasn't challenged. Is Trinity challenged by the work she is given? And friends & surroundings do make a difference. Perhaps, a change in seating groups will help her. Also, knowing that she talks during her independent work times, might be easier for her to explain why she's talking.
Learning to control talking can still be difficult at 6.
With an educational background in family studies & therapy & a great deal of work in the field and much reading in raising my darling daughter, I just wanted to share the title of the best parenting book I ever read. It's called "How To Really Love Your Child" by Ross Campbell. The only thing I struggled with in this book is that he supports spanking (in one chapter) and I don't. But there were days at about 17 I was rethinking that one - lol. |
