We are all wishing her well and I helped Rosie make a get well card last night. She will be out at least all week.<BR/><BR/>I can't help but wonder if she was already not feeling well and was being overly critical?<BR/><BR/>Either way, we have had discussions with Rosie about listening to her teacher and finishing assignments more quickly. We're working out a reward system as well, with special outings to look forward to (like the pool, the zoo, camping).<BR/><BR/>I'll let you know how it goes! And I'll look into the perfectionist thing, Grandy. That's something that's best to nip in the bud, as it can become crippling in adult work.nylonthreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671562223645258571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35813677.post-80160544328818205602008-09-18T02:41:00.000-04:002008-09-18T02:41:00.000-04:00Ish she being a perfectionist??

Maybe she sees it in her head a certain way, how she thinks it should look, and yet she can't make it look that way.<BR/><BR/>It's a thought, and a traight my sister deals with in her 7 year old.Grandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18235214310161945177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35813677.post-66084367334897616212008-09-17T23:29:00.000-04:002008-09-17T23:29:00.000-04:00My 7th-grader STILL has the same problem.
