This is my dd too - I've waited for her for 8 years and her teachers are now seeing just how long she really takes to do things. What's upsetting is that they see this as lack of motivation rather than a real problem (which hopefully will be a changed perspective on their part in a couple of weeks...). Her preschool teachers used to send her down first to wash her hands before snack time because they knew that she would always be the last one back to the snack table. It was funny and cute then, but now in 3rd grade it's not so funny and she is just now realizing how slow she really is compared to her classmates.
