About the job

I have an 8-year-old daughter and she has been kind of going backwards when it comes to her writing abilities. She writes some of her numbers and letters backwards still to this day. No matter how much I've tried to help her. She struggles to focus and pay attention during class, and her test scores do not accurately reflect how much she really knows. Some of her teachers have suggested that she might struggle with test taking anxiety. She is so smart and very wise for her age. It's just not showing in her schoolwork. I want to prepare her for 3rd grade. I know it will be harder than any grade before. She has so much potential, and I just want her to see that she is capable of SO much more. She comes home from school with huge stacks of unfinished work. A lot of which haven't even been touched, and this habit needs to broken.
