Love and prayers.<br /><br />Layla - Mira hadn't done her homework for at least two weeks. I think it was longer. I think it has to do with Hassan not being around and you're right, it was probably a sign for attention. If I sat with her she understood it - I didn't solve her problems, just sat with her and talked the problems out. She has a channel book, but never wanted to pull it out to show me. It is my fault for not being more firm with her and then waiting for it all to crumble. But I thought she was telling me the truth. Ah, the fool I was, but am no longer. She's bright, but lazy sometimes especially with homework. Can't blame her. If I saw 29 pages of math that was incomplete, I'd procrastinate too. But now it's all finished, Alhamdulillah and her teacher wrote in her book "Congratulations, you're going to America." Ah the advantage of having a teacher who is 1/2 and 1/2 (Egyptian and American).

Do you think any of it had to do with Hassan not being around? Do you think that because when you sat down with her and did it together, do you think it was a sign of attention? <br /><br />I used to do that with my mom a lot. I would say that I didn't know how to do something so she would sit down and help me with it. LOL yes, I was naughty. But I had a younger brother who got most of the attention and a father who was absent most of the time. <br /><br />Does Mira have an assignment notebook to write down all of the things she needs to do for homework? Maybe it would be a good idea to get her one and when she is done with her homework, check it with the notebook and maybe put a little sticker in it if she got all of her homework done. <br /><br />love and hugs to you!!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171704928864124929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133634.post-47199089349240143772007-01-22T01:42:00.000+02:002007-01-22T01:42:00.000+02:00Teachers will tell you what a difference it makes ...Teachers will tell you what a difference it makes when a parent is involved in the learning process.
