How can I help my dd learn to slow down
She is in the gifted class at school but she isn't doing so well in her normal class. This afects her going to the gifted class. The theacher things her brain is going to fast for her to think correctly. She zips though things and won't recheck them. She also can't seam to remember simple things like turning in work she did in class. She failed a open book test. How the heck does one do that? She has such trouble with organizing things and would rather be a messy girl. I want to help her passed this for is she keeps it up she will be put on probation from the gifted class for 2 weeks. After the 2 weeks if she is still failing anything she will be taken out. Then not put back in tell they teast for 5th grade next year. If she don't pass that then she will never be in it again.
The teacher seams to think we should let her fail and be on probation to teach her she needs to keep up and take her time. I don't want to let her fail. It is my job to help her as much as possiable not let her fail. I see it her way also. DD thinks she will be ok and sometimes can careless. Her teacher says that gifted kids sometimes think they are above all the rules and thing and don't need to follow though. I am so clueless. I don't want to give up. She really just needs to slow down and organize. I have tried the organize thing with her but she is such a pack rat it's unreal. Her room looks like a zoo. So any thoughts on what to do? What to teach a very stuborn almost 10 year old gifted child how to slow down. She is very much a class clown and very smart but ever so hiper as well. She also can't focus when it is loud or in a room full of people. She gets nerved up and crys. Please tell me I am not the only one whos child acts like this? I want to prove to her new teacher she can be better for she has been before. She has never failled tell the end of last year. She almost got kicked out then as well.
