CFK- your response hit it on the head which is why I posted in the first place. I thought checking vision and all of this is really fast for me but I am trying to be open minded to this new world in which I find myself. her not reading is not a problem in any way, and is only expressing itself as a frustration, by her- she feels the pain of it and I am already trying to help her understand she does not have to move so fast through life, or be perfect doing it. That said, I'm not sure what to do with a 4 year old that is so emotional that she can't do something. As I have read on other threads, this is not me pushing her, nor thinking her not reading is a problem, but her pushing me. I would have been fine with having never identified her as gifted...but that is another story...and we're here now, mostly because of behaviors and contexts generated by her.
Thanks Dottie- I'll wait patiently for the click...in the meantime I'll research more about this vision stuff.
Thanks JJsMom for the link- very helpful!
