Thank you all for your responses. Val, those quotes are amazing. Goodness, perhaps dd's etheric body was born the week after she turned 4 then (when first tooth lost)? Fortunately she's never been too keen share her reading ability so she hasn't brought the burden of her terrible affliction upon too many others. She's not at a Steiner school, but I think perhaps it's been passed from one teacher and into the school's folk law.
