So I got frustrated when DD(4) said she missed an entire page of multiplication today. Why? Because she loves it & always gets it right. So I asked, "what happened?". She didn't know and is going to re-do it tomorrow but wasn't allowed to go to do the next page like she wanted to and usually does. I threw out some easy ones to see if she was getting the concept. She got them right (she figures them out by counting rather than memorization).
It literally just dawned on me tonight that I am frustrated with my 4yo for missing multiplication problems. That's crazy right?! I'm just so used to her doing one thing that when she doesn't do it I'm compairing her to herself rather than thinking "she's 4". Now I'm just frustrated with myself. We don't do math at home so I just know what she's up to from what she tells me. Anyone else ever get frustrated for things like this that you realize later are insane?!
