Hi, thanks for that Nicki. I have made an appt to see her teacher so hopefully we will be able to move forward. I just worry that she is going to be labelled a problem child or worse be excluded unless she improves. I have had her eyes tested and her hearing and they are both ok so I know this isn't the rpoblem. She does have real trouble concentrating and paying attention so it is possible that she has an attention deficit disorder, she is not hyperactive so does not suffer from adhd. I will discuss it with the teacher and see if I can get a referral to an ed psych perhaps. Thanks again.
