Fri 13-Sep-13 13:59:58  I've got one just like this and I'm
still working on it. I've had some occasional successes by using
examples of things I didn't start off doing well, for example I
found some scribbling of mine from early childhood and dd was
impressed with my inability to draw properly whereas I can now.
Not that I want to encourage you to lie - but could you present
an example of your own horrible handwriting now so much improved
with practice?  Our big headache is arithmetic <<bangs head off
wall just thinking about practicing tables>>  kkoo Fri 13-Sep-13
14:08:23  Wow - this could be me! Only my dd is 5 and just
starting year one so I'm a step or two behind you. She won't try
in swimming class - and cheats (walks through the water!
cheeky), gets very upset about cycling, even with stabilisers,
fear of failure is huge! I will look forward to the responses.
