I'm finding it quite hard to explain exactly what I am trying to ask so please bear with me.
My DD was 4 in May. She is quite bright in that she is eager to learn her letters, numbers reading etc. But her thinking is very poor. She says she struggles to remember, but I think its more that she can't be bothered to think about something. She gets talking homework from school once a week, but it is like getting blood out of a stone, regardless of what time of day or if she's tired etc.
She seems to constantly think in the moment and not be prepared to think about anything else. One day a week they go somewhere local with the school and have to come back and talk about it, she just pre tends she cant remember.
I'm beginning to worry about her school work, yes she is eager to learn some things and picks things up, but if she cant think about something in more depth its going to cause her some issues.
Any idea on how I can help her with this I was thinking to try and read longer books with her at bed time and maybe take it a chapter at a time, talking back on what happened and maybe what might happen in the next chapter. But i'm a little worried that as I have limited patience it might cause a fall out at bed time. Which would not be good timing.
