ultramarina - I wish that would work for her! Sadly, she's an absolute skeptic and it's rare that she'll believe something just because an adult says it (if anything we're always completely exhausted because she wants us to prove everything! A great trait to have, in general, but oh man is it tiring!).

Space_Cadet- that's very helpful. I think the first two especially might work for her. I'm going to try the first one tonight and also suggest to her to use her tape recorder to log some of her thoughts/questions.
