thanks, Grinity. I do turn things back on her quite a bit. I often ask her what she thinks the answer is to things I think she can handle on her own, but guess I didn't think she had enough general knowledge to tackle some of the bigger questions yet. When I taught, I was big on the Socratic method and I remember one student accusing me of not knowing anything since I asked them, but as I said to my husband last night, I want her to learn to think for herself and trust her own mind so I do actually see what she can do on her own. We do get books on topics and look things up online, but the amount of questions throughout the day is nearly continuous.
