you know what, believe it or not I don't -- I don't hang out at her rehearsals I don't get involved other than to run lines with her when she asks me to - and if she said to me tomorrow "ok that was fun but I'm done" I'd say "ok... no problem"
I agree. It would be horrible for me and my child to have my ego tied up in her academic or other performance. When she does well I am terribly proud of her, of course, but that is not quite the same thing. Also, I would like to leave space for her to do better than me and her dad and to do differently.
OT but Liza keeps asking for a tv in her room but there's only 2 of us in the house and we have a tv in the living room, one in my room and one in the playroom -- I just can't see adding another one-- besides as I tell her -- then I'd have to give up cuddling with her on MY bed to watch tv!
I think you are placing the word on the wrong noun and you shouldn't be calling anyone atypical or not normal. It is the LD or disease, or syndrome, or the child's *situation* or *solution* that may or not be normal/typical. DS's *LD* is not typical or normal (although 20% of people have it so it is not rare - his particular level of LD may be rare but the LD itself is not), but *he* - the person- is normal and typical in the vast majority of ways a 4th grader can be.
I bristle when anyone EVER calls a child not normal.

Right now she has lost her priveledge of using the home computer and her TV has been taken out of her room.

I don't know what the alternative is, it's not a continuing problem, did you miss the post where I said he made the honor roll last semester?
Shrug, I don't expect my kids to be perfect.
