Thank you for all of your advice and suggestions and personal experiences. I have no idea what exactly I am going to do, but I do know that I am going to start pushing her to her discomfort level and making her work through it. I think I will also consider a spring team sport for her (my husband will be thrilled, ha ha ha!) We had a lengthy discussion today and she understands that I am "on to her" (so to speak). Not that it will change her reaction, but at least she knows that her reaction has no control over me anymore. She did agree to try to accept more challenges and worked on her accelerated math tonight (voluntarily) and even had some fun working with the Scientific calculator. I told her if she feels anxious over "not knowing" that it is OK, she can talk to me about it and we can work through it together. She seems receptive, so we will just have to see how this works out.
