A Mother and A Teacher
By Jumping Jessi

Clip to ScrapBook   
My daughter had this problem in class. Her teacher said she just wouldn't pay attention. My daughter is an only child too. This is what I did.....

When her teacher said she was inattentive - I stopped letting her
watch television in the morning before school.

She became so playful inschool that... the teacher said "she's too playful". My daughter got conduct marks for playing.

Since I took her only free time (morning cartoons) away from her she decided to go to school and play.

So I had to change things back, and when I did......

My daughter got conduct marks
for being inattentive again. Maybe after watching colorful, moving cartoons that jump around and will do anything to keep the attention of kids...... Her plain jane teacher just wasn't exciting enough for her.

I really don't know what the cause of inattentiveness is but when you guys find out let me know.
