My DS14 loves charts, and websites with charts. I even found out that the academic name of this field is 'information visualization.'
But your DD14 sounds more like me. I love making fake travel itinerary, fake personal schedules, and when it became time to be a parent, you should have seen me run from the family meetings to my computer to whip out the newest 'family contract' with giant letters to post on the Refrigerator. Those weren't fake.
When I was your daughter's age, I reported to my annual pediatrician visit with a chart of my monthly cycle. I asked her if this level of variation in timing was normal.
She said that the variation in timing was quite normal, but the fact that I graphed it made me quite unusual.
My family members are still laughing over that one.
Don't worry that she isn't following the schedules - eventually she will. Just the fact that she believes that it is possible to be organized is really good. If she generally has a problem with personal organization, you might want to let her know that I recommend Flylady.org and the book: 'Making it All Work.' David Allen has the best insight into'to do' lists I've ever seen.
Love and More Love,
Grinity
