Well, yesterday, I got fed up with the tv on, told her to help me. She helped with the first one, I helped her with the 2nd one and she did the rest by herself!!! She even threaded the sewing machine by herself! This is a child they say is "slow", has ADD....uh huh.....she just needed a SEWING MACHINE!! ;) I'm so proud of her I could bust a seam!!! She's coming back this summer to make a quilt! :thumbup:
I have an ADD son who finishes in the 90th percentile. Meaning he is smarter than 90 percent of the population. Learning is a problem when it is hard to stay focused. You have given your granddaughter a priceless gift . . . her selfworth. Your patience and love for her can make the difference for her risking new and scary things. Remember that ole self-fulfllling prophecy? It sure does make a difference when we know someone believes in us and our abilities.
