"Wrong" is the wrong word, nothings wrong with her. It must be us. But honest to god.
Myself and my husband must be doing something very wrong here. We're at our wits' end.
I'm trying to understand the psychology of what's going on with our Y2 daughter when we do maths together but I just can't find a method which stops this happening daily.
We'll start (and every day we preface with it doesn't matter if you get anything wrong, we're here to help, it's only maths) and the first few minutes go great. She'll be engaged and whizz through the answers and listen if we help her somewhere she needs it etc.
Then it's like a wall goes up. And she can't read questions properly or hear what we're advising her.
And that's when it all spirals downwards. Seriously she couldn't tell you what 1+1 is at that time.
So then I say we'll stop and come back to it later and she goes into meltdown. "I want to do the maths" but there's no way at all it would get done successfully at that point. We can then try again later but it's just this cycle.
I can't be spending 2+ hours a day on a simple maths worksheet and us all feeling like this.
I think it's maybe anxiety (she avoids playing board/card games too, I think it's a similar feeling) but how on Earth do I help her through this without losing my mind.
