This statement is suggestive: "the teacher encouraged me to practise reading and writing every night with her, but every letter was a struggle and every session ended in tears, tantrums and dejection. "
The kid is not in control, the mother is. It is a job of the person in control, to adapt and change the behavior, in order to change outcome "every session ended in tears and dejection".
- Snesker 10y agoFTA: I felt protective of Bella – she didn't know she wasn't measuring up – but also disappointed. I desperately wanted her to be as good as, if not better, than her friends. Than the author's friends, more like. >Her dad's spelling is dubious and his memory for names and dates is laughable. It must be his fault, I reasoned, glad to have something to pin the blame on to. Yeah this woman's a selfish dope with no clue how to raise a child. The child's friction is the idea that it should be smarter than it is, which would cause it to become frustrated when it cannot perform a task easily. It believes it should be able to accomplish tasks effortlessly. It needs to be conditioned to effort. The parent failed, out of ignorance, to supply the child with the proper guidance. Also, how incompetent are you that you can't teach a 5-6 year old the alphabet? It's 52 symbols. I could grind that in anki in a lazy afternoon.
