My DD1 is your average quiet, polite student, who gets along qretty ok. Not at the top, but above average.

My beautiful DD2 is the slightly annoying, needy one you mentioned. She's struggled right from day one, but she's been so lucky. She's been to 3 schools, & her 2 main teachers have been exactly what she needed. Her kindy/yr1 teacher is the one who suggested she was having difficulties & was trained in special needs, to pick up on these things that may be missed or ignored.

Her teacher now is excellent. Has made her a weighted vest HERSELF to try to help as much as she can. DD2 can be intolerable. She has no volume switch & no self control. Though she really only wants to love everyone around her, it can be way too much for some. But the teacher has figured out how DD2 works to get the best results from her. She's very slowly picking up

I'm very greatful for teachers like them & you. I see the difference in teachers between now & then. Teachers now make things way more fun & laid back than they used too. (On a primary school level anyway)
