Had my first parents' evening as a parent last night. Dd doing really well academically, really fast progress from not writing name correctly at start of year. Other things and friendships fine - all good so far. Then... Dd needs lots of reminders to stay on task when doing work in groups at a table with an adult. Having heard lots of parents on the other side of this I was a bit . Then had discussion about appropriate level of challenge- work in books well within what she is capable of and sounds as if a bit hard to keep up because she's moving fast. But that's only a bit of the picture. How can I help her to focus with classroom distractions? Have started to do reading at home with ds in the room and she's learnt to manage that. But I can't recreate classroom conditions at home without a very big playdate. What can I do? Carrot? Stick? Leave it alone and it'll come?
