Hi All,
Does anyone have good ideas about how to work past resistance? My dd11 has lost confidence in Math and has a few holes. She categorically refuses to see a tutor and has VERY reluctantly agreed to let me work with her a bit but is soooo reactive to admitting that she doesn't really get something that instead of learning how to do something that would take five minutes to learn, she blows it into a huge stressful event.
The school has, of course, not been worried because she still gets A's but I have seen her MAPS scores drop from 99% at the end of 2nd grade to 72% at end of fifth. THAT freaks me out because even if she's not mathy, basic arithmetic is definitely something she could ace.
I am even considering bribing her just so she's willing to see how easy it is if she's willing to work just a teensy bit.
HELP
