[walsallmum]

yh me too but really feel for me she desperately wants to do it and is in danger of losing focus with friendship problems going on

[catwoman]

It sounds like a really difficult time for you Walsallmum, hang on in there
What a time to have friendship difficulties...has there been any progress girls tend to break up and make up quite quickly, i hope things are getting better for your Dd....

[walsallmum]

hi catwoman

things are a little better thanks for asking
tbh her concentration is slipping a bit
to me shes very borderline so i cant help thinking maybe she wont do it !

Regarding friendship issues, I find that often we, as parents take it more to heart than our children, they are usually over it the next day but we keep thinking about it and worrying about long after the kids have sorted it out.

Agree with guest201

The hard bit is being Mum or Dad during all of this.

Are you pushing them too hard? or Have you been too soft?
Are you a pushy middle class so and so? or Are you supporting a bright child?
Are you a tiger Mum/ Dad? or Are you too laid back?

My advice is stick to doing the best you can and encouraging your DC to do the best they can.

It's really all you can ask of yourself or your DC.

the clock is ticking!

argggghhhhhh!!!!

my dd is loving the memrise stuff recommended by guest201.

we are off to liverpool over the weekend for her final break until the big day!

Do lots of reading and anagrams and word puzzles and work with numbers - it's more about mental agility than about ploughing through papers and risking "burn out" - Good Luck

[walsallmum]

had another panic last night

dd is totally flopping maths now!
think shes just rushing or giving up

lots of stressful conversations with her last night!

[um]

Probably the weather. It's been very 'close'
I could have flopped down and slept on the pavement this afternoon. But now the rain has freshened things up.
Goodness knows what I'd have done if I had to complete some maths

[catwoman]

Hows every1 feeling...4 weeks to go

Can't believe its just around the corner ...Ds still seems to be slow with his maths...and yesterday said that he hates maths... his strongest subject has always been English...he used to love maths and now he hates it with a passion

I keep feeling i haven't covered everything...is this normal
