I'm not sure how to help dd, she is august born and also I think immature for her age, not a great combination. She is finding year 1 tough at home she is rebelling about spellings and reading and at school her behaviour has not been great either. Her teacher said she is fine as long as she is getting positive reinforcement but hates getting anything wrong. She especially hates being told to rub any of her work out, both these things lead to tears and tantrums. I have spoken to her at home and said making mistakes is ok, she just needs to keep trying, but it doesn't really sink in. I think she has a real lack of self confidence as she sees the other children as being more able. I have a meeting with the teacher about this but feel overly defensive of dd and unsure what to say. I do see why it is a problem for the teacher.
