Hello,
I live abroad at the moment (for the last 2 years) and my 11 year old has just started secondary school here. In all of her schools, in London, then when we lived somewhere else, then again same old school in London and now here, teachers say she doesn't concentrate and is absent minded.
I witness the same with her at home. Her younger sister is very different - can get on with things quickly and with focus.
It's so tough for me as everything with my eldest takes so long, and she never puts her whole head onto one task.
I thought she might grow out of it but she hasn't and she doesn't even want to listen to me, or what the teachers say.
I really don't know what to do to help her anymore. If she could focus her work would get done so much more quickly and neatly,.
I cannot get her to put her mind onto any task and I feel exhausted by it (and other aspects of life!)
Thank you so much!
LL
